Unconditional love doesn't mean putting up with toxic behavior. It means being a safe space for someone to work through problems and be their authentic self. I'm sorry all you think of is negativity when you think of this. When you experience being fully accepted, it is an incredible feeling and makes you want to give that feeling back. Loving is cyclical, sometimes you are giving and sometimes you are receiving, and the more you give the more you can take in. And all of this moves you into a healthier direction, particularly if you are also both working on and willing to address your faults. It's not always a comfortable process, and you need to protect your energy and respect and love yourself. But I truly hope you get to experience it someday because it is a wonderful thing.

Thanks I really needed that today. I just told my wife that I am trans fem, and I would really love to be seen as a woman. We've been taking about my gender identity the past two weeks, but when I brought it up I had no idea or intention that this is where I would end up. I don't know what to do now. I go back and forth from ecstatic and so proud of myself to crying and curling up in a ball. Somehow I have to pull myself together and go to work. My spouse has been incredible, and she already was out as bi so I knew it probably wouldn't be a big deal. But now that I'm out she is actually questioning if she's actually just a lesbian lol.

I am going to reach out to the local LGBT center, I think they have good resources, but sure anyone have any book recs or other resources? The dysphoria bible was incredible and eye opening and I'm still reading but I would love another book, I just want some one to tell me what to do!

Thanks for sharing your baby steps! Inspiring for me, I have only just admitted to myself that I have gender envy might be non binary. I painted my nails for fun last night and I was thinking of keeping them on since people probably will just think it's a Halloween thing. And yeah also nobody cares, people think about you way less than you think they do.

My spouse and I were both bawling and actually couldn't sleep for days after. My spouse is bi and genderqueer but at the time I thought I was completely straight cis. So yeah, this movie might have broken my egg, still figuring that out loll but 10/10 incredible movie.
