    I myself am an FtM and the person I am dating recently came out as MtF. Although I have been a part of the trans community for some time now I don't know too much about trans women. Is there anything I should do to make her feel more comfortable, make her feel better about herself (she had low self esteem) and anything I should avoid doing? Thanks in advance! (*hug*)

    Well I would say that you could think about how you feel and what you might need as support. Make sure to always use the right pronouns, something that would really bring up my self esteem too is if you were out with her and someone used the wrong one is correcting them for her. Especially if you don't think she would herself.
