She acknowledged that I did talk to her about it beforehand, but hasn't been able to properly process it yet.

We're OK, I'm just venting.

Thanks!

I suspect the difficulty some men may have with accepting a trans partner is due to internalized homophobia / toxic masculinity. It's very easy to think "of course I'm not bi / trans / whatever" without ever actually considering the possibility (at least it was in my case). The same can apply to women, of course, but perhaps women culturally face a little less pressure in that respect at least?

And you are exactly right: coming out, even just to myself at first, was scary as fuck. But worth it!
