I'm not gay but I'm with a trans man, please help
First things first, I want to establish that I'm not transphobic. I fully respect and cherish the transgender people in my life, whether they're friends or my current boyfriend.
I started dating a girl I really liked about 7 ish months ago and it was going great. However, they told me about a month ago that they no longer feel comfortable being represented as a girl or being refered to as a girl and that they felt as though they were more comfortable as a man.
I instantly let him know that I support him, because I do, and that if he ever wants to chat that I'm always free. I still love him and for a little while it seemed as though nothing really changed.
However, I can't help but feel that I'm just holding onto the girl that I once knew rather than the boy that I know now and it feels horrible to think that I don't love him for who his is, rather who he no longer feels comfortable identifying as.
If you read this far thank you and please let me know what you think is the best thing to do in my situation.
