Hello, I (33yo cis F) have recently started a relationship with my partner (40yo NB). We’ve been together for a year, and I introduced them to the world of nonbinary identities, which they embraced right away. They own both feminine and masculine clothes and shoes, and we’ve gone shopping together to buy makeup for them. They often wear nail polish. I gave them earrings as a gift. They’re currently looking for a clothing style that feels acceptable for work while also supporting their well-being.

However, they still have many questions about their gender identity, and I can see that they feel uncomfortable and uncertain in this situation. They say they don’t experience dysmorphia, but rather joy in dressing the way they want. Still, they sometimes say things that make me think they might be an “egg”: “I’ll never be as beautiful as you,” or “I don’t see anything feminine in myself,” or “I don’t know how to be trans.” They asked to buy a blahaj !

I’m not really sure how to help them find answers. They’re also going through a midlife crisis, which doesn’t help. What should or shloudnt I do ? Thanks for any insight !
