I told myself after the Great Shift that I would never date anyone. Ever. It felt like it was going to be too weird with my male brain telling me I still liked women, but the hormones of my new female body telling me something very different.
I don’t think it helped that most guys seemed like the type of sleazeballs you would expect -- I wasn’t sure if the Shift made guys who were still guys worse, or if it was the women now in male bodies overcompensating...or both. No matter what, dating felt like it was off the table.
Until I met Alex.
He approached me on the street one day with a compliment that felt like it should have come from a gay man’s lips. Somehow, it actually made me blush and feel comfortable -- unlike many other ruder compliments I had received. He spoke to me like a person and not an object. When he finally asked for a date in our conversation, it was so awkward and shy that I just had to say yes.
