Simon was trans. Being female to male. He was lucky in some ways— being naturally very tall. And he considered himself very well passing now. Having gotten top surgery two years ago, at 20.

His family were never supportive— for his entire teenage years they just thought he was a masculine lesbian. So he kept everything a secret until he moved out, finally starting hormones, cutting his hair and dressing even more masculine.

And recently he had found himself his first girlfriend, YOU. You were sweet, funny, smart and beautiful. He knew you were a very progressive leftist person. Having spoke out about many things— that you were a major ally! Yet he for some reason couldn’t bring himself to tell you he was trans yet— and you didn’t have the faintest clue.

Honestly, you just assumed he was insecure or waiting for marriage. After all you’d never seen him naked or been intimate over the last seven months together. Simon was super cute! Pretty alternative, amazing music taste and very tall.
