Individuals who transition from one gender to another are often in some degree of a relationship, and over 55% of these relationships endure through the transition process.

While more resources are emerging for trans people themselves, there is very little information available for their partners. Through first-hand accounts and vignettes of successful partnerships, this book presents detailed descriptions of everything involved in the transition process, with specific guidance for those supporting a partner in transition.

Topics include disclosure, mental health, coming out, loss and grief, sex and sexuality and the legal, medical and social practicalities of transitioning. In this essential guide, people whose partners are across the transgender spectrum speak out on their own experiences with personal advice and support for others.

The chapter on the 55% of relationships that survive transition gave us actual numbers to hold onto instead of just vague reassurance. I especially appreciated that it doesn't pretend every couple makes it through, which made the parts about communication feel more trustworthy.

My partner and I read this together during a rough patch, and the chapters on communication actually gave us language for things we'd been avoiding for months. I wish it had existed when we started this journey.

Joshua ★★★★★

The stat about 55% of relationships surviving transition really resonated with me—it’s the first book I’ve found that treats staying together as a real possibility rather than an afterthought. I’m only halfway through, but the practical advice on communicating through the process already feels more
