Somebody I love is transgender. What does that even mean?

Telling someone that you are transgender can be hard, in no small part because it puts you in a vulnerable position with someone that you desperately want to love and accept you. In these emotional moments, I often forget that I don’t just have to come out as trans — I have to explain what being trans actually means to folks that haven’t spent the past year thinking about gender identity.
