Idle Q,

[aleph.livejournal.com]

So I originally asked this question as a tangential comment in another thread, and either no one saw it or no one was interested. I'm going to assume the former, because I still want to hear more responses, dagnabbit. The question really only applies to people who have transitioned in some fashion to living full time as a member of the opposite sex, though if anyone else has something interesting to add, I'd be happy to hear from them.

I'm curious to hear what kinds of responses people have had from friends and family when one is gay by post-transition standards (i.e. transgirls who like girls, transboys who like boys). Obviously responses to homosexuality can be awkward/ugly when The Trans isn't involved, and I imagine it must cause double takes when one transitions from a heterosexual girl (or boy) into a homosexual boy (or girl). Anyone have any experience on this point? As a transdyke in the early stages of transitioning, I am personally interested in what I may have to deal with down the road...
