Hi everyone! I wanted to go ahead and introduce myself. I'm pretty new here (and to Reddit as well), but I've been lurking this subreddit for almost a year now. I've been wanting to comment for a while.  

I'm a 24-year old pansexual (identified as bisexual until a few years ago, but always kept it hidden until recently) cis-female who's been in an awesome relationship with my sweet and precious 22-year old girlfriend (lesbian, pre-everything MtF) for almost two years. She came out to me this February, a little after our one-year anniversary. I do admit that I was kind of shocked at first and the first few weeks to a month were not easy for me, but I had always been supportive. However, I had to really think about why I was shocked in the first place. Since then, we've had a little bumps along the way, but have gotten so much closer. I want this for her so badly. Her coming out to me also cleared some big things up in our relationship. I feel we can be more honest with each other now, and it's great! I love seeing her get excited whenever she raids my closet, seeing her glow whenever we go shopping for makeup or bath stuffs. I love seeing her so happy when she tells me that someone called her "ma'am" even while she's in "boy mode" because she's only presenting about 1% of the time right now. She's a lot happier and when it shows, it's absolutely wonderful!  

So right now, she is out to her close friends at school (in her last year of university), and only presents around her dorm from time to time. We have also told my brother, a few of our good mutual friends (all of whom are super supportive), and we have also told our parents as well (told hers this summer, told mine last month). My parents are coming around (my mom, especially), but my girlfriend's parents have taken it a bit harder. She hasn't told the rest of her family (her brothers, grandparents), because she knows they would flip. I haven't told the rest of mine (mainly grandparents and dad's side of the family) for the same reason. We will get there eventually...  

A few months ago, my girlfriend started talking to a psychologist at her school about transitioning and getting HRT. This past week, she had an appointment and her psychologist is ready to write her a recommendation letter for an endocrinologist so that she can eventually get prescribed for hormones. It will be a while before she can see the doctor and before she starts HRT (we're going to bank sperm for the future once we save up enough), but I'm really glad that she's gotten this far. She's laying the groundwork for her transition. Yaaaaaay!! :)  

I am so glad that this subreddit is here. It's comforting to know that there are others going through the same thing. I've done lots of research, but I'm still learning. I do have a lot of fears, but the both of us truly believe we'll make it through. My girlfriend has tons of support at school and it makes me sooo happy. However, my support here in my city is a bit limited. We also live about an hour apart from each other (since the beginning of our relationship), which makes things a bit harder. Yeah, it's not far, but with her being a crazy busy microbiology major and me being the one who can drive, we get to see each other only every other weekend (not including her holiday breaks). I just wish I could be there more while she's transitioning. Working on hopefully closing that gap a bit in the next year though! I love my sweetie to pieces, and she's totally worth it! She's the love of my life, and we're so excited for our future together.  

Nice to meet you all!

tl;dr: Met my girlfriend (was still male-presenting) over two years ago. She told me she was trans over a year ago. Things are awesome!
