my cat is norris posted:Any good resources you could recommend for someone in my position? When I sent a letter to family I included two links for good primers. The first one in particular was really helpful for my wife and I as far as offering a shared vocabulary and a starting point for talking about how my experience was or wasn’t like what’s described in the site. quote:Primer: A resource that is a great starting point for learning about all this is https://genderdysphoria.fyi which helpfully breaks things down into the history, big concepts, and some of the experiences/ It also has information about treatment and how it all works. Something to consider for yourself is that this might be an opportunity to think about and enrich your own relationship with your gender. Not in an “everyone is trans” kind of way, but in a “there’s a lot of unexamined defaults we all live with” kind of way. A bunch of assumptions you’ve been holding about your own life and sexuality might be up for reconsideration, given how the person you love is changing. My wife and I have talked a lot and it’s been nice for both of us to compare notes. We also made the conscious choice to treat this as good news and to communicate it as such when letting friends and family know. Which is not to say that navigating a relationship through transition is problem free, just that we wanted people’s first response to not be sympathy, so we tried to set the tone.
