Trans Woman Finally Finds Love With The Same Guy Who Once Rejected Her When She Was a Boy
'Love at first sight' works in mysterious ways, it might not work as it's supposed to at first, but you should never lose hope. That's exactly the case for Erin Anderson and Jared Norris, 'love at first sight' - after a few years before their first interaction- resulted in their lovely long-term relationship.
Jared was initially approached by the 22-year-old trans woman, Erin on Facebook while she was still living as a boy.
“While still living (as a) a boy, I messaged Jared on Facebook saying, ‘Hey, what’s up,’” Erin recalls, according to Lad Bible. “I knew of him and added him on Facebook because he was cute. But he was having no part of it and didn’t seem interested at all, so I decided not to try anymore with him.”
But their story didn't end there since their paths crossed again, but this time Erin had undergone a breast augmentation and two years of hormone replacement therapy.

“Prior to dating Jared, I had been seeing people but nothing serious came about because they were afraid to tell their family or friends,” Erin says.”They would tell me they really liked me but couldn’t risk their family knowing I was trans and that was what hurt the most. But Jared didn’t fear that, he told his family that I was trans and everything, he doesn’t care what other people think.”The couple also chose social media as a platform to openly talk about their relationship and also made a video where they discussed the topic of dating trans people and why it shouldn't be stigmatized.
A series of negative and regressive responses erupted due to their videos and social media posts, according to Jared.
However, their story also inspired a lot of people who sent them many loving and encouraging messages.
