It's good to be here, and good to know there's such a nice place for support. I've been lurking around these forums for a while now, mostly the mtf section because my girlfriend is mtf. She's decided for sure that she wants to transition so I figured it was time for me to join.
I started dating her already knowing this about her, and I'm perfectly fine with it and actually really excited that she wants to go through with it because I'm a gay girl, lol. I think she's beautiful, and I want her to be happy. It won't happen for a few years yet, though, for various reasons.
I'm just wondering how much of a toll the transition takes on people. Both the SO and the person undergoing it.. Is it really stressful? Bad moments? Or does it depend on the person and the relationship? I want to make it as easy for her as possible, but knowing myself, sometimes I can get overwhelmed if there's *too much* going on at once that I have to keep track and take care of. So I guess I just want to have an idea of what to expect..? If I can prepare myself, I can handle the hard parts better.

Thank you so much!

Good luck to all of you!
