Iiiiiii love Komura Ayumi SO MUCH. It's extremely rough to come out as trans to A loved one, because there's always the (huge, for many) chance that they'd reject you as a human being. When the other party is aware that their partner is put in that situation, it is difficult to say that they just can't see them in the same romantic light anymore, even when they know that they are still the same person underneath. Gender can be a complicated subject, but I love love LOVE Komura Ayumi for trying to address it, and with so much consideration too
...Pre-transition ex looks kinda like someone from Usolily. I don't remember who though. Probably just a coincidence, but wouldn't that be a surprise crossover?
