Coming Out
A TERF Love Story
Her hands hold my face, my eyes not daring to meet hers. But I cannot resist her. Her fingers sweep the hair from my face. She smiles, then kisses my nose, her elvish smile lighting the part of my heart I had given up.
The part I had thrown away.
“You’re beautiful, Christopher,” she tells me. Here, in this moment, I believe that she finds me—
She found me. Out of the blue, in my DMs three years ago. I resisted. I hid. I nearly blocked her. I wasn’t ready to open up. And then one day I turned around and she was sitting in my kitchen having stabby coffee (keurig) and petting my dogs.
Neither of our situations were simple, and we started in the best way, as the closest of friends. Neither of us bore romantic intention (there were rumors about us, but these preceded reality), and I was openly pursuing dating online. Over time, I developed feelings for her, but kept them to myself and a few close friends.
That changed last fall. Requited love arrived in the best way, sweetly sweeping through the other complexities of life, appearing when we most needed it. While I have been open about our future plans, we have thought it best to keep her identity under wraps until now. To those we trusted with this secret, thank you for holding our confidence. We both appreciate you and love you very much.
Let this be proof love knows no borders, spanning oceans as easily as ponds. Turning the biggest hurdles into dreams to sail over. Katie means the world to me, and I hope, for my part, that I bring one iota of the affection, peace, and stability that she gives to me.
To my love, @katjaintheact, who once asked me: “Does it bother you that I’m a TERF?”
No, my love. It doesn’t bother me at all.
❤️,
Your Christopher
(aka Emily Dawn)
