Over the past year, I've come out to about a number of women in the same social orbit. All expressed surprise, but to my great surprise, all have continued as friends, and remain extremely kind and supportive. To my greater surprise, very close personal relationships have emerged. That is knowledge of me as a person, followed by coming out preceded any degree of intimate relationships. It seems, as is often advised on this site, that relationships are possible for a transgender heterosexual if the revelation of gender identity comes before intimacy develops. How did it work in your relationship?
