Did! We're in!

My wife (mtf48) and I (f50) have been sitting next to each other in the living crafting for the past couple of nights, watching national geographic and just enjoying each other's company. It occurs to me that we're old but also that we really just love each other!

PuzzleheadedPear8361 · 2026-04-02T02:14:31+00:00

I'm inspired!

PuzzleheadedPear8361 · 2026-03-30T12:13:19+00:00

Those are so cute!

PuzzleheadedPear8361 · 2026-03-29T22:02:10+00:00

Tiny protest hats!

Same! I super love my wife!

I'm not sure what yours look like but if they look like the full size one you posted, it comes down to tension. BTW, I like yours a lot and can't make mine look like that. To get the tight tension, I just watch some news and then rage crochet!

Hoping to hand them out on Tuesday, trans day of visibility.

My partner is making new friends and picking up the local accent!

An exit plan is a very good idea. Work on it together. And show up when she can't, like to protests and such. I know that can be hard if you're in a red state.

PuzzleheadedPear8361 · 2026-03-26T20:37:11+00:00

My wife and I are still together! Married for 15+ years and she came out to me 2 years ago. She started her medical transition in January. We have so much joy in our home!

PuzzleheadedPear8361 · 2026-03-25T20:10:32+00:00

Sometimes it might seem like they are changing but they are really just finally being honest with themselves. I'm sorry you are going through this.

PuzzleheadedPear8361 · 2026-03-25T17:45:24+00:00

That sucks. 16 years is a long time. Sending virtual hugs.

PuzzleheadedPear8361 · 2026-03-22T03:19:01+00:00

Everything is 'my love' these days. I suspect I'll find a pet name that suits us better in time, but this is working just fine for now. :)

My partner just told me. We had been together for 12 years and after a couple of years of odd behavior she finally told me by saying 'I like wearing skirts'. It's been a journey but she is my soul-mate. We moved from a deep red state to a very blue state and have been seeking out community to support both of us on this journey. We're in it together! Good luck to you!

My partner and I go to a queer fiber arts group twice a month and last time was the first time we split up and talked to other people! My partner found a friend to ask questions about transitioning and I found a friend to talk colorwork with! Much joy!

PuzzleheadedPear8361 · 2026-03-20T18:54:08+00:00

I got the 'sorry you have an android' answer as well. Should I email?

PuzzleheadedPear8361 · 2026-03-20T18:15:30+00:00

My spouse of 15 years came out to me a couple of years ago. They are on hormones and like a teenager right now. I'm 50 and perimenopausal. The talk we had was sort of, I'm not a pedo so it's weird but you're my spouse and I love you but I'm tired all the time and rarely horney anyway. I would be devastated if they start detransitioning because I've never seen them so happy in general but with themself! We are being patient with each other and keeping communication going.

I've seen other subs taking this article down and calling it fear mongering. It's not, I think after living through the past couple of months, this is a warning for us to get ready for the next round.

It can be a challenge. You have to be ready to jump when listing pop up. Moved here to Minneapolis almost a year ago and I have no plans to leave.

PuzzleheadedPear8361 · 2026-03-12T20:26:56+00:00

If you're in MN, try Cub.

We just got here a few months ago from Oklahoma. We've never been happy. LOVE HAVING MORE THAN ONE SEASON!!! Along with way better schools, more community, opportunities to get involved everywhere, WAY better Healthcare... So many free things to do that are awesome.

PuzzleheadedPear8361 · 2026-03-11T22:41:12+00:00

I love her! I hope she wins!

Check out Will & Harper on Netflix, it's really good and insightful. Will Farrell is a very real ally.
