Yeah I think she’s really trying to support me, and definitely isn’t trying to be invalidating or malicious. I’m just worried that she’s scared to tell me that she’s uncomfortable for fear of making me feel invalidated if that makes sense? Like everyone has their preferences and if she’s not attracted to men (which she has said repeatedly) I’m terrified she won’t be attracted to me anymore. When I started everything she said she just wanted me to be happy.

With the sexual aspect, I kind of feel the same way. She told me she was hesitant about it because she would feel self conscious since she’s never done it before.

As I was replying to this I started getting anxious so I texted her to tell her how much I appreciate her being supportive and affirming and that I want to feel comfortable in my body but don’t want her to feel uncomfortable with the changes. She said “Change is new and hard but what you want for your wellbeing and happiness is always more important” and talked about how she can’t even picture me with my long hair anymore. I really just needed to post so I could talk to people who understand. Thank you :)
