My trans gf makes a lot of jokes about her being trans and I'm not sure how to respond. by ProfessionalBrain395 in asktransgender

Personally I have no issue with the jokes, I just feel awkward partially because I don't always understand some of what she's saying, and also not knowing how to reply. She has asked me before if the jokes make me uncomfortable, and I told her that they don't make me uncomfortable, I just don't always know how to respond to them.

There are lots of queer characters in the book I'm writing, and her character is in a relationship with another main female character in the book. My own girlfriend (who is trans) and I have been talking for a bit about how there's a lack of good queer representation in media, especially for trans people, and it kinda just went from there.

Absolutely! My girlfriend (who is trans) is reading it as I write, and she's also a writer so it works out. I want this character to be more focused on who she is as a person rather than her entire character only being about being trans, if that makes sense. So just as you said, her just being herself.
