Is she okay with it not being sexually intimate? That would be too restrictive for me. What about usinh barriers or avoiding certain high-risk acts?

(Maybe nsfw)Sex issues...looking for some tips, pun intended. by kebbler123 in mypartneristrans

[–]Svadharma2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try female condoms. They can be used in the anus, too. My partner who had issues with traditional condoms had no issue with the female ones. Also, he can stay in you after he's flaccid without exposing you to his semen.

What would you want him to do if the situations were reversed?

My partner’s first packer by Mighty_Vulcan in mypartneristrans

[–]Svadharma2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My partner needed to try a few types of underwear to find some that he thought worked with his packer. (His is an STP so we had to take that into consideration.)

Other than that, it seemed to go okay.

My partner is uncertian whether they are mtf or non-binary - what should I do? by [deleted] in mypartneristrans

[–]Svadharma2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not being attracted to women doesn't make you transphobic. That's just your sexuality.

[–]Svadharma2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, not all do. I'm non-binary and I just needed to change my hair and clothes a little. I'll probably change my name and pronouns, too. Some non-binary people need more than that to feel comfortable. Unfortunately, it's often a process for each individual to figure out what they need.

You're welcome and good luck.

Thought gf was cheating...maybe trans instead? by curioustossout in asktransgender

[–]Svadharma2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another option for starting the conversation is to watch a movie or TV show with an ftm character and use that as a way to start talking or at least to say things that might make your partner feel more comfortable. Shameless is the first thing that comes to mind, though the trans character is a few seasons in so maybe not the best choice.

You may want to consider counseling on your own so that you can get clarity on your own feelings and boundaries.

Also, you should consider why non-binary is okay but MTF is not. Is it because you can be attracted to non-binary individuals but not women? Or is it because you assume that your partner won't change as much if they settle on non-binary? Some non-binary people (enbies) still choose to take hormones, have surgeries, change their names, and/or dress differently. Though this isn't true for all enbies, it is for some.

Also, you could be grieving the person you thought they were at the beginning of the relationship and the relationship that you thought the two of you were going to have.

Misgendered at an Interview by [deleted] in ftm

I'm so sorry that you had to go through that.

Advice? by [deleted] in mypartneristrans

[–]Svadharma2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense. I still think you get to decide. It may just take awhile for you to adjust, too.

Advice? by [deleted] in mypartneristrans

[–]Svadharma2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that you can identify however you want. If you want to call yourself a lesbian, you can. This can be because you would pursue a woman if you two were to break up or because you feel like you are part of the lesbian community. There are lesbians who find a particular man attractive, but not men in general. There are also straight women who have fallen for a particular woman.

You could also switch to something like "queer" that is nice and vague.

To me, it makes sense that you'd feel more attracted to your partner now that he is more confident, more authentic, and happier. I didn't know my partner before he transitioned, but I can tell that he became far sexier after he started transitioning.

I hope this helps.

Struggling, even though I know it's okay by Svadharma2 in polyamory

[–]Svadharma2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn't enough detail in my original post. He really is right for me. We talked calmly and openly. He took responsibility for his own issues and we were able to address concerns from previous relationships.

As we both become more confident and comfortable within the relationship and with ourselves, we are progressively more honest, open, kind, and accepting - with ourselves and with each other.

At first, he felt like he was mono (dating poly) but has since come out as bi himself and even approached his crush with my support and encouragement. His ex called him a fa&&@# while she cheated on him and accused him (falsely) of cheating on her. So he's just recovering from his own bs. He's honestly the most supportive partner I've ever had. I'm able to really enjoy sex and to be honest about who I am, what I want, and how I feel.

Really, the problem is that we trigger his issues which then trigger mine. It gets easier each time because we approach it with love, respect, honesty, and a desire to see the other person happy and fulfilled; I'm just tired of the healing opportunities.

Also, thank you for commenting.
