My friend said that showing up on Facebook was a liberating experience for her. She is fortunate to have the support of her longtime girlfriend, who has accompanied her throughout her transition, but not every
transgender woman has a committed partner who can give them love and acceptance, regardless of gender. Unfortunately, discrimination against transgender men and women remains, especially in the love department. Transgender people are easily overlooked by the general dating public. Some dating sites don't even give
transgender people an option when they sign up!
