You know, one of the things that’s really struck me since I started editing Prism & Pen is just how many trans women are out there who married women before they transitioned and who have stayed married.

I know this story is embarrassing for you because of the blowjob on the car ride back, but I have to confess that as a formerly (extremely) promiscuous gay man, I don’t find that part of the story remarkable at all. 🤣

You and I must be about the same age, and as I was telling you during the editing process, I was 18 years old when I crashed in a Navy training barracks one night with my sailor cousin. Ah, the stories I could tell!

No, what really strikes me about your story is that you were 18 years old and the woman who is now your wife was already in the story. And she’s still in your story!

I love that. And I can’t wait to hear more of your stories. You have a real knack for telling them.
