Lauren I just shared this with Michelle:

“I have a loving partner and we have been together since 1976. Relationships like that are massively rare and we both appreciate the value of our love. Discovering that I was transgender five years ago was a shock for both of us. My hope is that we can continue to transition our relationship together.”

I am delicately balancing our love with my need. I will never lose hope.

Thank you for caring. It is so important.
