transi have a question for female-identified people out there. i hope i can word it well enough so it doesn't come across as one of those "so how DO [insert non-heteronormative word(s) here] have sex??" questions, but forgive me if i fail at that attempt.
long story short, my friend and i have started teaching a class that basically covers how to respect a gender non-conforming person's body when it comes to sex. ideas on how to treat your partner's parts as they see them, whether it be physically, verbally or otherwise, respecting their gender identity and body through consent and check-ins, etc.
the first and only time we've taught the class, we got really good feedback about it, but the one suggestion that came up a few times is having more information about female-identified people who fall under the trans umbrella. as two people who fall more on the side of ftm on the trans spectrum, we thought that perhaps instead of guessing or coming up with ideas we think would be good, we get suggestions from people have actually experienced said suggestions.
so, with that said, if you were to attend a class like this, what would you like to hear as far as ways to respect a transwoman's body in bed? suggestions for pre-op, post-op, or no-op bodies are all welcome.
if you don't feel comfortable responding in comment form, please feel free to email me. jeoates at mac dot com.
thank you so much in advance to any and all that can help out!
