Sex (or the lack, thereof)

[laura-seabrook.livejournal.com]

Read a post by an LJ friend that quoted telling it like it is in the world of bi-trans romance by Heather Franek. Goddess - that resonated in me, in fact I got "triggered" if you know what that is. I've written before (in my own journal) about how I've felt both sexually frustrated and emotionally isolated. Both posts were back in 2006, and not much has changed since then. I still feel sexually isolated/confused. I still feel distant. I used to hang around the Bi groups in Australia and Sydney, but really what I got was (like said in the article):

...that transgender people were valued allies and interesting objects of intellectual analysis about gender and society, but that few of the folks writing about "gender fuck" were seriously willing to consider trans people as close friends or potential romantic partners. Unless, of course, you were talking kinky sex and gender exploration at a party or TS-friendly sex club.

So tell me, what are your dating strategies?
