So far everything has been really great, but it has now gotten past casually dating and into serious dating and he is feeling a little worried about whether I will ever start to miss cis men or their parts. While I am not the first straight girl he's dated, I am the first straight girl he's dated seriously since he...

The title has it wrong—He spoke out against the bill, then came out as gay. But I think this is powerful stuff here. Just remember to not judge someone by their party, but by their actions.

avenjar asked: Hi there. A friend of mine recently came out as trans, but they said that they don't plan on living as a guy until they go to college. Should I start referring to them with male pronouns and their guy name now, or just continue calling them their girl name and female pronouns until they leave? Thanks, and this is a great blog!

I had a really hard time when my boyfriend, now fiance, first came out to me about his transition. Although I was concerned for helping him and making it as easy as I possibly could for him in life, I still felt a little lost. I knew that my...

pansy-boy asked: Hey, I have my top surgery in two weeks and my girlfriend is coming with me. She is pretty scared about the whole thing and worried about looking after me post-op. Does anyone know any resources for people that are supporting guys after top surgery? Or if anyone has been a carer afterwards and is up for talking to her that would be awesome!
