OK, work this one out! I was born female, came out as lesbian at 13 (married briefly at 28 then back to women). OK, I'm now in transition FTM. I'm still attracted to women excusively but not really to heterosexual female born women, and as I'm not going to have lower surgery, most of them would probably have certain problems getting into a relationship with me if they id as straight anyway. More aware of this since I started on testosterone (yes it does do incredible things to some moods, but hasn't really affected my ability to control anger or other emotions I'm familiar with). Now that I'm single, where do I look? Lesbian community don't want to know about MTF's (even though they are women) or FTM's. Real gender/preference confusion? And some people still talk as though sexual preference and gender identity are the same thing! HAH! Hugs, Simon
