How often does a couple between two trans people happen?

Post Reply New Topic

I have 2 friends around my age who have been dating since March. The started out as a lesbian couple but then one of my friends came out as transgender, and identified as both genders. The other was ok with it and later came out as trans TOO, but identified as neither. Both love each other A LOT, i swear I've never seen a cuter couple. The only problem is that the one who identifies as both told me that they might try to see what it's like to transition since they feel slightly more male than female. Their girlfriend still thinks of themselves as female, or at least is comfortable being female, and isn't really ok with her girlfriend transitioning when they're old enough to. I think it's a long time from then so maybe they won't want to or their girlfriend will change her mind or something. What do you guys think? How often does this type of thing happen?

It's a pretty rare set of circumstances on its face--trans is rare, so it stands to reason that a trans couple would be rarer. But on the other hand, there may well have been concious and unconcious factors that led these two people to be attracted to each other.

It seems early days, yet, however, to talk about transition and how that will be accommodated in the relationship.

I've been in a trans-trans relationship before. My ex was MTF and I'm FTM, she was already out, I liked her, I realized I was trans while we were dating, and she wound up breaking up with me because she's lesbian.
