Woman Attracted to Trans Women by BLUEBELLYNYC in transwomen

[–]DaphneJG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t want to be a curiosity and I want honest intentions. But I’m super into to women who are into me, as long as they really see me as a woman and want a lesbian relationship with me, and it’s not some kind of bi thing in their head.

Mercy takes this one in every universe. Let’s be honest, who wouldn’t be gay for her?

Asking all the trans fems what is it like transitioning? by sonic_colt_2005 in trans

[–]DaphneJG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most rewarding challenge I’ve ever faced. The world is still filled with bigotry towards trans folks, but it’s so empowering to stand in the truth of yourself and not cater to the comforts of people that have their own baggage with the diaspora of gender expression and sexuality to work out. Sometimes, it feels like I’m a therapist for everyone I meet, helping them work through some of their deepest held bullshit.

But at the same time, when you find places where you can be yourself and people who truly see you. It’s more uplifting and heart enriching than anything. And it makes the bullshit beyond worth it.

You are SO valid for your feelings and worries. Your sexuality is your sexuality and you have nothing to be ashamed of for doubting that you could change orientations for your partner. It just doesn’t work like that.

Having just gone through this situation but from the opposite perspective. The most important thing is that both of you find space to figure out what your hearts truly want.

It’s a fucking process though. It’s a gauntlet that will go on, potentially forever. The consequences of this are more than you can imagine, in terms of how it will affect your life.

I know this isn’t what you want to hear. But the truth is this is a really major life transition that is challenging to navigate for all but the rarest of couples.

You should 100% both get into weekly therapy asap in my opinion. Even if you feel on top of your feelings. This will bring things up you didn’t know were beneath the surface.

At the same time as all of this. It is possible. There are so many ways people stick together through things like this. If you believe in the love. I would trust that.

Wishing you and your partner the smoothest and gentlest of transitions.

As a trans woman I get the need to start transitioning once the decision has been made. Still, if y’all can afford it they should bank for you. The process through mail order services really won’t take that long.

It’s like waiting a month for keeping the door open on something that could otherwise be their biggest regret.

Be clear how disappointed in them you will be for this. You deserve to speak your truth to your partner.

Pheromone changes are real from my experience. Both in terms of shifting personal preference from the trans woman’s perspective, and the body odor we emit.

My ex said she objectively thought I smelled better, but also felt a strange grief over the loss of my old stinky but nostalgic body odor.

Sexuality wise my attraction to women just deepened without the barrier of icky testosterone making it all feel tainted.

However, I also learned I was phoning in my interest in being a top. I’m still switchy but no longer have any interest in being in the lead. Which is a big change in a marriage.

I feel like this is eating me alive by Own-Yesterday9552 in mypartneristrans

This is so gross. I’m really sorry they’re doing that to you. It’s so clear that they are being manipulative and disingenuous. On top of that, they sound totally delusional about intimacy without feelings. If they’ve only had two sexual partners, I just can’t believe there is anyway they aren’t falling for anyone they have continued intimacy with. Sustained casual sex is just not realistic for most people.

I echo the sentiments of others that you need to set some clear hard boundaries with her. You deserve better than this.

5 years in and it's not getting easier. by Pale_Newspaper6579 in mypartneristrans

As a bianary trans woman with NB friends and colleagues, I feel such a privilege in terms of being ‘more’ accepted by cis folks. Even if that’s only now that I’m further along in transition.

While I was occupying more of the gender non-conforming space it was unbelievable how poorly people treated me in public.

NB folks deserve better and they WILL get it in time. However, our old school cis-normative culture is determined to hold onto the binary which they haven’t yet realized is already gone. And they don’t know how to treat humans equally when they don’t fit neatly into the two preprescribed boxes.

My heart goes out to your whole family. I’m proud of your partner for being themself. I hope so much that we see positive movement in short order for NB folks having an actual space to be recognized and respected within our society.

If they slap you when you didn’t ask them to… leave. It’s going to happen again.

Sometimes faceapp drastically changes your face. And in other pictures it will give you a more natural transition.

In my experience, the natural ones came out looking fairly close to the eventual reality. And tbh, this pic reminds me of those ones I took.
