I was truly dumbfounded by the statistic on partner abuse. How does this happen? Are these the partners that were in place before the decision to transition? I would assume that anyone who would partner with a trans woman would be supportive of her from the very beginning of the relationship or bow out of it like most relationship breakups if things we’re not working out. I guess I would have expected about the same incidence of abuse as in hetero relationships. This was truly horrifying.

Sometimes you have to walk in someone else’s shoes to really see one’s view of life, and it is truly not an understatement.
