welcome and thank you for sharing where you are at. A lot of what you are feeling many partners have felt and a lot of the same fears come up. For both my transition and my former partners and current spouse's transitions all the same questions of "who I am now because of your transition and feeling scared that they will be attracted to others because of hormones or physical changes came up. With all of them, talking, talking and more talking always helped, talking to other partners helped and for my spouse and I going to couple consuling helped so much. So many times just admitting our fears or things we wanted to do like outing each other so people will "know" we are queer was all it took to not want to do those things.
Actually going through the physical transition made it a lot easier for me to view my partner as truly the gender they are rather than the one they were assigned at birth.
As many other have said this is a transition for you too and everyone's transition is unique. For me I found just dealing with what was currently happening and letting go of fear related to future changes helped a lot.
I am glad to hear that someone was able to work through any discomforts about the transition with simple, old-fashioned conversation. There's no better way of getting things out in the open like just saying them. And I think there is a good space for me to express my fears within the context of my and my partner's relationship. Thanks for your comments
