Hi everyone!
I'm Belle, cis girl, just turned 40, and live together with my beautiful wife and adorably dumb cat in The Netherlands, Europe.
I've already started a
topic elsewhere on the forum and was told I could introduce myself here, so here I am!
My wife (43) and I met a good nine years ago and after about a year of courtship got into a relationship. She was still fully going through life as a man back then. She even still fully thought she was a man back then.. It wasn't until about five or six years ago that she started to see that she might be more than just 'a guy liking high heels'.
Only a few months ago she decided that she was in fact fully a woman, so she's working on socially transitioning now, and had her first doctor's appointment for potentially starting hormone therapy a few weeks ago.
I'm very thankful to be living in The Netherlands, which is still considered to be the front runner in trans-care. Even though we are also feeling the effects of the politics of the world right now... But looking on the bright side, she will likely (still) get the care she needs very quickly and relatively easily. So yay!
As for me, I'm happy as long as she's happy. I wouldn't have minded if she never figured out she's a transwoman (although, you know, there were clues haha) but I'm glad she did because I see how happy it makes her! Finally <3
