Marianne Oakes has shared an amazing collection of transgender love stories over at GenderGP. 

Here are a few of them. 

Marianne wrote:

The myth that trans people struggle to find love is damaging to our future generations, if trans youth or worse still, their parents believe this, then the impact can be loss of hope. My experience is pretty much like all the lovely comments here, let’s stop the myth, xx

More here!

These stories help so much. Not just because of the trans people find love just like everyone else, which is an important message on its own, but because there are some stories of other people who didn’t know since they were kids and this is so fucking reassuring!!!

„Just sharing: I came out to my wife before we were married aged 19. Last December we celebrated 36 years of Marriage. Being trans does not stop us finding love, trans youth need to hear this, other couples need to hear this. Feel free to share your love story to help others, xx“

„Our 15th year together, the 4th since i started transitioning. It hasn’t been easy but I love this woman more each day and work to be the best possible version of myself always.“ with a picture of the couple smiling at the camera attached.

„My wife came out almost two years ago, at age 35. She had no idea she was trans until I jokingly had her try on my Halloween costume and things unfolded from there. We’ve been together 5 years and I don’t plan on letting her go. 💜“

„Told my fiancé „what if I‘m a guy?“ a few years back. I was crying and scared. He said „then you’re a guy.“ We are now married and I‘m a guy.“

„I came out to my wife the week of our 6th wedding anniversary and we only become stronger in the nearly 2 years since then as I no longer have to hide this part of who I am.“ with a picture of the couple smiling at the camera attached.

„I came out to my future wife on our second date. It turned out not to be the showstopper I feared. 19 years of marriage, three kids and a transition later and we‘re still awesome together.“

tweet by user our_trans_life in reply to OakesMarianne:

„After being married to my lovely wife Kelly for 10 years, I found the strength to come out to her. Now 15 months later, we are stronger and happier than ever before. We are closer and more connected than I could have ever imagined. This is all thanks to Kelly for being amazing.“

i came out to my spouse as nonbinary when we’d been together for many years. we’re coming up on our 11th dating anniversary and 5th wedding anniversary now. he makes sure all the people in his life including his stuffy professional coworkers don’t misgender me. anyway, trans people can, do, should and will find people who love the crap out of them!
