Because I've always loved coming out....
Okay, so for those of you who I haven't already told, and who haven't already figured it out.....
My partner is transgender. FTM, and in the early stages of transition, and yes, he wants all of it (hormones, top, and bottom surgery). So up until now i've been using the name Teneka in this journal, but i'll be switching to Dreu, which is his chosen name, and what i've been calling him for a few months now.
This gender stuff is a wild ride- never what I expect it to be. Its left us with some frustrations, and I can only speak for myself, but I know that I love him more and more every day. Having to face the struggles together just strengthens us and brings us closer, and shows us how much we can overcome. He is an amazing person, and everything I've ever dreamt of. I feel like the princess I've wanted to be my entire life.
Elena wrote in her journal that she felt dorky professing her love via live journal. Why? I want to tell the world how much I love him, so why not write it?
Anyway...
So yeah, this is my big coming out entry... except its his coming out... except it means I'm with a guy, so I guess I'm re-coming out as something different? I still identify as queer, but this is a straight relationship... its slightly complicated i suppose. but i've worked it out in my head.
Any questions, feel free to note them. We're both totally open about it, so ask away!
PS- Dreu is at a Drag show in boston right now and i'm sitting home being jealous!
