Chin up. My cousin went through the exact same thing and she's been taking it well. She talked with her doctor started taking E and grew out her hair. A year later she had laser hair removal to remove hair from around her mouth and neck she was real happy about that.
Not to say there werent downsides, her family was very accepting but her wife did want a divorce but they still remain close friends.
I think one of the things that really helped her was to find a supportive community that can help you through this and let your girlfriend know if you havent already, fear of rejection is normal but telling her is necessary for relationship and friendship.
Hope this helps. Im a cis-male but want to be supportive. Go get em
I've talked to her. It was difficult to be coy about it the way it happened, and so far she's been a big help. But we both know this is way above her pay grade.Unfortunately money's tight, and getting a therapist isn't in the cards short term.
