So I've been seeing/talking to/dating this girl. She's older then me, and well... she identifies (or identified) as lesbian...
We became friends way back before I started transition, so she met me as a female.
When we finally started hanging out, I was already binding &such. She had noticed, &asked about it. I tried explainging it to her, but it didn't rly come out right.
So she somewhat understood me, but not exactly.
I had been avoiding telling her about my trans status, because I thought she knew, and I wanted to get a little closer to her first.
But one of my trans buddys told me that I needed to tell her to make sure she doesn't see me as a female.
So yesterday I finally came out to her, and guess what...
She's being totally understanding &accepting.
:D
And she's straight for me. And she's totally respectful &trying to be really careful about making me feel uncomfortable and all that.

I didn't think id be able to find someone that would see me as the guy that I truely am. But im happy that im headed in that direction.

So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.
