How meeting one of my heroes reminded me to love my feminine self

We have two queer identities, but share one sibling bond

“I think I’m trans, too,” I said. “That’s okay,” he said, “I know.”

I was a lesbian who turned straight overnight. Then my husband came out as a trans woman.

He learned that my sexuality didn’t entirely define me

‘He said he was not attracted to men — even the man who used to be his girlfriend’

‘She told me I must now embrace the man I was always supposed to be’

Acknowledging that I was bisexual was the best, most radical thing I ever did

‘I was angry at myself for being afraid when I knew full well there was no reason to be’
