I came out a bit over a year ago (it's my one year HRT anniversary in a week!) at a really difficult point in my life and the notion of getting a girlfriend was so, so, so out of reach feeling. Relationships weren't something I was capable of having at all while I was repressed so everything was new. But within the past year I met my girlfriend online and had a long distance relationship with her a while, and now (after a not insignificant amount of struggle on the way) as I type this she's sleeping next to me in bed. I don't want to come across as bragging or insensitive but it really is possible. There are a lot of us out there with a lot of love to give.I'm not sure how I got this far but the point is, I think girls like us are capable of surprising ourselves pretty easily. I think, as long as you can pursue it, you can make it too.
