It could be your prototypical 21st-century love story. Boy meets girl on an online dating site. Boy loves girl. Girl loves boy. And after realizing that they can't live without each other, boy and girl get engaged.

But there is one small catch; the boy was born a girl.

Rebecca, a 34-year-old administrative assistant, immediately knew that Alex (not their real names) was different from other guys she'd dated. But it wasn't until the 32-year-old teacher nervously disclosed the truth over a drink that Rebecca fully understood the extent of that difference.

That's really sweet. I hope one day I can find the sort of love and acceptance that Alex found with Rebecca.
