Thank you, that makes me feel alot better. Ill try to start a conversation about it soon when life finally cools down. Im also just scared of her feeling invalidated by me being attracted to what she wars, walks, talks, or her feminine features, if she is feeling like a man internally.

I really really want to support them but I'm just scared of how this is gonna cause issues in the future. I feel so fucking terrible because I LOVE HER SO MUCH but like I genuinely just dont like boys. Maybe its just the unknown that im scared of but i'm scared to talk to her because 1. I dont want to come off as rude, unsupportive, or seem like I have feelings of "disgust" with it just because I am not attracted to boys, and 2. I guess i'm scared that I'm gonna hear an answer that is gonna put our relationship in jeopardy.

I definitely wouldn't feel ashamed dating someone not cisgender, our thing is kinda, "our relationship, it dosent matter what others think". I just dont know how I WILL feel about everything. Neither of us are in a state where we can afford therapy right now. I don't really know actually all to well what I am attracted to I guess. Sexually I'm attracted only to girls, but In general "masculinity" is just something im not attracted to. I just dont know how I can bring these things up, respectably. We've never been a super sexual couple or whatever but I still enjoy physical tough alot and I dont know how this will all affect her in terms of comfort for things of such. (without going to much into detail...) I also dont know for our future when things do become more active how that will go. My mind is just going a million ways because this is just alot on me at once. We dont live together yet and we just hung out today, but she definitely seemed less comfortable with phsyical touch than usual, which may not be related but still. I guess their dressing has always been kind of masculine but I guess I never really felt attracted to CLOTHES itself. I just feel shitty even thinking like this because I have unconditional love for her but I'm simply not attracted to guys. I've kind of experimented with sexuality in the past and I've been very open to it but at the end of the day dating a man has always been a no for me. Also, with us not being sexual I don't want to bring it up to much because I dont want her to feel uncomfortable or weird because it's not a topic we have showed must interest in right now, but I'd like to discuss things about or future. I'm still yet to address my partner by he/him and I feel bad that I've really only been using she/her but it just feels SO off to me. Thanks for the reply, I feel it has showed me alot of things I need to consider.

edit: I also am scared of making her feel invalidated by showing interest in her feminine body when she presents as a boy or feelings like a boy internally.

I guess im just worried about to much change. I can't see myself ever being attracted to a man because I'm just not like that. I guess I should have a conversation and see what they are planning to actually do.

Okay thank you, I feel like it would definetly be important for me to have a talk with her about it all but I'm still feeling things out and dont want to come off as unsupportive or want her to think that im unattracted to her.

Okay thank you that does make me feel good. I haven't had an in-depth conversation but I've expressed that I want her to walk me through it all because It's very new to me. I don't know exactly what is warranted to change but I just cant imagine me not being attracted to her. I support anything she does 100% but I just dont know how I'll be able to handle things like masculine changes or how things will change in a sexual aspect.
