I didn’t expect to find romance in my small town

It was intense and condensed — and we fooled no one but ourselves

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’
