“Who did you used to be?” Phillip asked, repeating her last statement. “I’m thinking it must be pretty bad if you don’t want to be near me?” “I think it’s the other way around. It’s you who might not want to be near me.” “You’re starting to worry me. You’re a straight shooter who isn’t afraid to speak her mind. So tell me what’s so bad that we need to sit a mile apart in order for you to tell me.” Donetta took a deep breath and looked into Phillip’s eyes. It was a heartbreaking moment, because she realized in those brief seconds that she loved this man, and that she was also in jeopardy of losing him. She hadn’t wanted to tell him under these circumstances, but now her hand had been forced. She’d always stood true about who she was, and now she knew she needed to share it with Phillip. “I’m a trans woman.” Just as a long pause had hung in the air when she’d told him that she couldn’t have children, it returned, and now it was hovering in the space between them.
