Summary

In this unforgettable meet-cute, Samantha Allen traces her story of self-discovery during gender transition and the life-altering partnership that began with a simple hello in an elevator.

Feeling “unfinished” at the liminal age of twenty-six, the author had already accumulated decades of emotional baggage growing up in a Mormon family and living with gender dysphoria. When she met Corey midtransition, she felt even more like an awkward shape-shifter. Now Samantha shares how taking a chance on that fortuitous encounter meant having the courage to be herself.

Love & Estrogen is part of The Real Thing, a collection of moving, hilarious, and big-hearted essays on the modern realities of friendship, romance, commitment, and love. Each story can be listened to in a single sitting.

Just what I needed

As a transgender woman who only recently started her own journey of transition, I have been desperate for insights and experiences of others who too? this path before me.
I don't mean the logistics or the medical itinerary, but the emotional and life situation changes transition brings.

This story gave me all that and more. I am truly grateful for Samantha's work.
