i hope that your partner did not end your relationship because of your trans identity because i can imagine that to be pretty invalidating. i think transness is such a wonderful thing and i wish everyone saw and felt it as the complexly beautiful thing that it is -- and it's certainly no reason to end a relationship.
i have such a hard time trusting people and i just want to shut down but i know i can't do that
i can hear what you're saying on the trust front: i'm struggling a lot lately with the question of emotional vulnerability myself. but: i'm so glad that you are going to try to keep going. it can be so scary, and i hope that you have the support you need to take care of yourself and still be open and engaged with the world and others.
and p.s., if you ever need to shut down for awhile, that's okay, too.
