A story from the US featured in the Daily Wail, it's handled fairly sensitively: I hope the link works.

And you are correct a fairly sensitive piece of writing. Thanks again for your quick eye and the quick fingers.

I can't believe...

...this came from the Daily Wail.

Is it only on the internet version, or did it hit print version as well?

If the Mail goes on like this, it's in danger of losing its status as the most bigoted newspaper in the world.

Thank you...

...it's moments like this that help make up for all the other stuff life throws.

It's stories like this that rekindle ones hope that humanity just might evolve after all...

what a lucky couple... i must admit i'm jealous

~Your only Limitation is your Imagination~

So jealous...

I saw this on the wail earlier too, well, the headline at least, and didn't want to look at it because of the wail's reputation... Turned out to be very tastefully done. Good catch Ang! Maybe I shouldn't give up on the wail so quickly after all?

As for the story itself... I'm jealous for two reasons! First! Where's my hot t-dude boyfriend!? Second! Where's my anonymous support donation!? :P

*Giggle*

Nah... I'm happy for them, I really am... Just wish I wasn't stuck like I am... :/

That they do...

Wish I was even half so pretty as her... Of course, she started young enough...

Arin is a right handsome young man too.

If you passed them casually by on the street, you'd never suspect them of being anything other than genetically what they appear.

Some people get all the luck...

EDIT: I realize I'm sounding really petulant right now... and... well... I kinda am... sorry :( Sometimes you just gotta get some of the whine out before you drown in it, y'know?

Abigail Drew.

I got the same impression about the pics...

You know how they say couples start to look alike after a while? Well, they do kind of look like opposite-sex versions of each other. Which can really mess with one's head when one considers that at one time, they were the opposite sex, at least physically and socially.

Looking at the childhood picture of the FTM (Arin's his name, right?) I find myself thinking that at that age, I would have given anything for a "femme overload" kind of picture like that: poofy dress, hair bow, stuffed animal, the whole bit. That is, if I had no worries about being made fun of by my parents for it. Even gentle kidding I took with a deathly seriousness, so there was no way I was going to admit to such a thing. If there's one thing I learned at a very early age, it's that admitting you like anything feminine if you're a boy was definitely a bad thing to do.

But I realize Arin must have hated it, and knowing how the child in that picture turned out, I get the impression Arin's parents must have rammed femininity down the poor kid's throat.

Edit: And Abi, I know this probably won't help much, but I understand the way you feel. In fact, it made me kind of tear up a bit, because I feel precisely the same way. I'm constantly looking at the mirror, videoing myself, and the like--not out of vanity, however. Quite the opposite, in fact, as I usually engage in a running inventory of the things I find wrong with me. When I was in my twenties, I was so slim that I might have been gorgeous had I gone on hormones then. But back then, I doubt any doctor would have given them to me if I asked. But then, I would still have had the curved spine and the twisted body, so who can say how I might have looked?

I love happy endings. They

I love happy endings. They are so cute together.


I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair

They're still only kids

so it probably won't last but at least they'll have learnt from each other a bit about relationships. I wish them well.

Angharad

Eh...

Not necessarily true. They seem remarkably mature, and, in some ways, our particular experiences mature us faster than other groups...

My parents were about those ages when they first started falling in love, and they're still together... And have weathered many a storm between.

Abigail Drew.

This is how it should be.

I have never understood why I did not have a relationship with a trans man; our goals are so similar. This was really touching.
