About Jory

I'm looking through my old survey answers, and I mention this "Jory" a lot. I'll be referring to her by this name going forward to protect her privacy, but for the sake of clarity, this was the ex I was talking about. We broke up a few years ago, and though we were friends at first, we just stopped talking. I did some reflecting on it, and I realized that she was a massive dick to me, bordering on abuse sometimes. I don't talk about my gender identity much, but when I first started dating Jory, we both identified as trans. She detransitioned, and got radicalized by TERFs, and pressured me into detransitioning because my being trans apparently meant I was ashamed of being a woman. I was already scared of her, so I did. It was a very dark time in my life that I don't want to go back to, and I don't want to speak with her again either.

The ex that I thought was a dick but turned out to be cool (let's call her Alice) later reconnected with me that year. We were at an LGBT club meeting at our college, and we went around and introduced ourselves to the group, and I finally got to use my real name, Eli. Alice had thought that I was still bigoted or in that horrible relationship, but she decided to reach out and try to patch things up after seeing I had retransitioned. We're still friends now, and we talk shit about Jory all the time, it's great. 

But either way, this isn't Jory's or Alice's blog. It's mine.
