Stating the obvious

The fact that the majority of the relationships of trans people have historically not worked out is a no brainer (most especially for gynephilics). Factor in pervasive gender conditioning for both sexes and suppression on the part of the trans person (which often meant late self discovery and confession) and there you go. That some people made it work was largely through ability to balance and compartmentalize or outright lie to themselves which many of us ultimately could not do.

Today those two things are being countered. Gender stereotyping and conditioning is disappearing and trans people can come out far earlier in life (even before they hit puberty). This means that their chances of finding a harmonious coupling is greatly improved if not necessarily made into a slam dunk.

That I am happy for these young people to the point of giddiness is because I was not certain I would ever live to see it.       

Despite the current climate, I have much hope.
