Hello, My Name is Stephen

[mtfso91]

Hello Everyone.
My name is Stephen. My boyfriend has recently showed an interest becoming a woman, how he truly feels he is. I have always been behind him, and always will. Today will probably be the first day that we actually go and look for doctors and what not to help him with this journey. He is telling his parents tonight that he is a Transgender.

I'm not really aqauinted with the Transgender Community, so I would like any insight I could get.

Thank you.

Stephen.

Hi Stephen -

Welcome, I'm pretty new here too but I've found lots of good information and people willing to help.

Hello, Stephen! Welcome to Susan's It's always nice to have another SO around.

My wife, Danielle, is also MtF. We're currently in therapy and things have been progressing well. I highly recommend a therapist who will also do couple's sessions. Transition affects *you* as well and communication and honesty are the keys to staying together (just like any relationship.) Couples can and do survive transition

Ask any questions you have. We're here to help!

Oh, I forgot to plug the SO's forum and chat too! You can come visit us on the main chat room (#chat) or the #SOTalk room (which is pretty quiet most of the time.)

Welcome Stephen!

I am new here too. Just like you have, I may even introduce myself one day. Until then, I'll be reading through all the old threads, posting comments, and resurrecting dead threads on my own. I look forward to hearing more from you. See you around!
