Hi,

Just a rant. Well, I realized that I actually like men too after T. So I would randomly post to craigslist for casual hook up. And I have one email yesterday:

Why u changed from female to male if you like men !

So I answered:

This is the most stupid question I have ever seen. Female changes to man because he thought he is trapped in a female body. So a correction is needed. But he also thinks he is gay. If your theory works, every gay man should change their gender to female and lesbo should have sex change too. How stupid you are!

so he answered:
Oh your brain works lol


p.s. WAS I WRONG? HOLY Sxxt...

So yesterday I get two sms; one from an ex-classmate of mine, telling me she gave my number to a friend of her after she talked about me with her. The other from said friend, who seemed very interested from the start, even after seeing my photos...

She's a cute girl, and she seems nice too, and we're going to see each other this evening; there will be friends with her (and my ex-classmate) so it's sort of like a first time blind date but not quite the same.

The only problem is...she's lesbian.
And I'm FTM, pre-everything. I am a full-time "crossdresser", but I'm not out of the closet to everyone, so most people I know refer to me with female terms. She thinks I'm just a bisexual girl.

I mean, I'm totally cool with the fact that she's lesbian...but I fear she might have problems with my situation when she finds out.
I don't really want to come out to her just yet (experience taught me that it's best to do that when the other person gets to know you some more), but I just don't know what she might be expecting. I sure as hell ain't going to be a femme.
Also, I don't know if I'd be able to get physical in this body :( it's not even a good-looking female body, I'm really overweight and have stretch marks on my legs, and the fact alone that it's a female body is enough to make me feel uneasy thinking about being naked with someone.

More importantly...it's only my second relationship, and the first one was a long-distance one so I'm not really used to the whole dating thing, I'm afraid I'm going to do something stupid or that she won't like me after she sees me IRL even if the photos I sent her are recent.
I also don't know if I will like her after I get to know her better; you know, she's interesting me and I'm serious about her, but I can't already know if I'm going to feel something more for her since I barely know her.
Also, I'd like to do classic romantic stuff like bring her a flower (a purple rose) but since there are friends with her I'm afraid I might embarass her or something; also, I dunno if she's out with everyone (my ex-classmate knows she's lesbian, but I dunno about the others). Maybe I should do that on a second date (assuming there will be one).

She also seems to be poly; I'm not totally against it, but I sort of don't know how to deal with this, I don't know if this will be a concern in the future.

Help please? :(
(BTW, I'm 19 and she's 20.)

PS: Sorry for any grammar mistakes, this isn't my 1st language and I was typing kinda fast.


EDIT: Thanks to everyone who replied, but it didn't end up well.

She assumed I didn't like her just because I didn't text her this morning (mind that I slept for the whole morning and woke up at 12.00 a.m., it didn't seem proper to me to tell her "good morning" at lunch time XD) and told me she wants someone who's interested in her and not fooling her.

So she either A) is extremely paranoid, and I wouldn't want to date someone who's that insane mind you, I've already got my own sanity to worry about, or B) just wanted an excuse to refuse and make it seem like I was the one who blame, and I really despise coward and self-victimizing people who play dirty tricks like this, I don't even want to be friends with such persons.

So yeah, as for now I'm better off as a single.

I am a young trans guy who is in and out of the asexual community. I started my testosterone shots about a week and a half ago *hands out celebratory cookies* and I've been wondering about some of the effects.

I have been told, and I have read extensively, that one of the effects of testosterone is a sharp boost in sex drive. I'm curious how this might affect an asexual person- creates a "normal" sex drive? Higher drive, but still no attraction to other people? No noticeable effect? I mean, I can ponder the possibilities all day, but what I'd really like is information from real trans people who identified as asexual before and/or after taking hormones about how they affected their sex drive and sexual identity. As an FTM, I've got a more personal stake in learning about testosterone, but I'm curious about the other asexual hormone experiences as well.

Originally posted this question to [livejournal.com profile] asexuality, but got a limited response (mostly pre-T trans guys with the same question), so trying here to see what y'all have to say on the matter.

Attraction

Hi, I've been noticing something about my own patterns of attraction lately, and wondered if anyone has experienced anything similar. I've seen some guys on here talking about how who they were attracted to changed after transition or going on T, so thought maybe someone had.

Before transition I was active in the lesbian community, though I never felt entirely comfortable there for obvious reasons. Since transitioning, I'm still mostly attracted to women (and a few men), but looking at it I've been finding that many of the women I'm finding hot are mtf.

I don't know if this is because I'm socialising with other trans people more, or if it's about shared trans experience or what. I just wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience.

I am going to a gyn/pelvic reconstruction specialist for a consult on some gyn problems. They sent me a questionaire in the mail. Among the questions: Have you had sexual intercourse in the last month? Does your partner have any erectile dysfunction that is affecting your relationship?

Hello, heterocentric much? How do I answer as a non-penetrative partner with a transguy mate?

It really bothers me that this questionaire basically assumes that patients are in heterosexual relationships, or seeking heterosexual sex. Why can't they have a line that asks patient to describe their typical sexual practices? Or say sexual contact rather than sexual intercourse?

There HAS to be a way to better word medical questionaires like this, rather than requiring those of us who aren't hetero to use half-truths, explanations, or no-but/yes-but answers.

I prefer not to refer to it as homosexuality, but as loving someone who happens to be a man. I would never want to touch any other man - ever - but let me be “straight” about this: I’ve been fucking a man up the ass for the past 12 years (it’s twelve, that’s not a typo), AND I’m still deeply and passionately in love with him - I love him completely, not just his body. So, that makes me semi-gay, I mean “seme” gay, and I love only my “uke” and noone else. Seriously, I’m not in denial. I’ve accepted who I am, and part of who I am is someone who’s annoyed by labels - so let’s move on.

Anyway, words can’t do justice to how much I long for him when he’s gone, and how elated I feel just from seeing him or even hearing his voice. We’re almost always on the same wavelength, we get along amazingly well in every way -- until recently. He’s been spending time online for a while, and recently asked me if I wanted to reverse our positions. All our previous “research” told us that positions normally aren’t reversed, but apparently it’s trendy now, or chicks dig it, or whatever. My reply was fast and (I still think) it was beautiful. I said: “I love you so much, that I’ll give anything and everything to you. I know I’d sacrifice my very life for you without hesitation, so.. if all you want is my ass, go for it.” I thought I said it pretty well, and I told the honest truth, but he didn’t like that I compared it to a sacrifice. I told him that sometimes things can be about what HE wants, and it’s ok. If I was really bothered by it, I would honestly say so, and if HE wants to try it, we’ll try it. It wasn’t a problem.

It was a problem. Long story short, we didn’t get very far. I was nervous and rigid, but limp where it counts. He basically stopped because I couldn’t get a hard-on from being fingered! He said he doesn’t want to hurt me or traumatize me, and that I was squirming and scared and grossed out. I told him, I wasn’t scared, I WAS JUST NERVOUS!!! And I tried to explain that this is about him and not about me, and it’s OK that it’s about him. He told me to “just forget it”, I asked him if he’s sure and he said he’s sure. I was quite relieved at first (whew, dodged a bullet.. well.. dodged something!) but................. he’s gotten colder, and I’ve gotten very frustrated because I feel responsible. I can still get him off in bed, (I know it’s cheesy) but I don’t just want him to cum, I want him to be happy!

About a week after that, he started to make me really SCARED - saying how he wants to become a woman since he doesn’t use his dick. We both use it plenty, so that’s just nonsense. So he starts reminding me about how I always talk about wanting him to be happy and how I’d love him no matter what, and I should support him in this. I tried to explain: this is not something you do on a whim, it’s not reversible, plus saying he doesn’t use his dick is just not true - he should not make a non-reversible decision on a whim and based on a lie!

He’s never been unreasonable before, but he’s being unreasonable now. And he’s talking about hormone treatments and stuff that was never an issue before. And he insists that he violated and traumatized me - that’s honestly and truly a load of bull. It was just a FINGER, and mind you, I agreed to more. Weird and awkward? Yes. Traumatizing? Absolutely not. However, if he loses his dick because of this, I will be very traumatized! I told him that, and the fact that he’s not listening to reason is extremely frustrating.

I asked “but will you still want me, and do you still want me?” all seductive-like, and he said “I don’t want your ass anymore, that’s for sure.” and... I don’t want him to want my ass, but the sentiment itself and the play on words (don’t want your ass = don’t want you) really hurt me more than I thought possible. And I told him, I wasn’t scared back then but now I am scared - I don’t want him to lose his genitals, certainly not on a whim like that.... What, because he couldn’t make me his uke in 5 minutes, he has to give up his dick forever??? It’s ridiculous. I’ve never cried before, but I cried the whole time I was driving to work. I don’t even care if he starts looking like a woman! The idea of him losing his genitals honestly makes me panic - cause they’re kind of mine too, right? RIGHT??? And the idea that he’ll stop loving me makes me panic. And the idea that I’m in a panic, makes me panic even more!!!

And now I can’t sleep so I’m typing this. Not even sure if I’ll post it, or where - I’ll have to find a place, I need help. He’s never acted this irrational before, but I’ve never acted this emotional before either. Never. What’s wrong with him, what’s wrong with me, what can I do, what can I say??? If anyone has any advice, it would be very much appreciated. I’ve never been as unsure or felt as helpless as I feel right now. Just... WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE HIM HAPPY??? :(

This is what my Counsellor asked me yesterday...asked me firstly if I could be a straight woman...and I said I couldn't...even though I did briefly go through a phase of thinking I could be bi-..I don't think it's likely I could now..unless I met a guy who was in some way arty or strongly alternative....hhhmmmm....

Limerick is small..so what is it like going from heterosexual male to lesbian?

Asked me also if it's absolutely certain that h.r.t. causes impotence/infertility..and it is yes?

Mum offered me use of a few old trousers monday!..she is nearing acceptance!

There was a special on NBC about whether or not you can tell a child wil be gay when they grow up. But the focus of a show was a little boy who painted his nails pink and played with barbies. He SAID IN THE SHOW that he thought he should have been born a girl and wants to be a girl. I do not understand why NBC thinks this has anything to do with his sexual orientation. First of all, he does not say anything about attraction to anyone. Second, he is too young to be sexual ( or at least I would think so). There are clips from it on the NBC web site at http://60minutes.yahoo.com/segment/68/gay_or_straight?

This really pisses me off. I recently busted a "tranny chaser" who tried to pass himself off as an ally to the trans community. He had e-mailed me and said he had no intention of hitting on me yet that is exactly what this guy did. As you can see in the blog, he called me his little sweet sub and asked if I wanted to be his Mistress(this being another name for a dominant woman). And I had already previously told him I was a lesbian. He also sent my friend who is MTF sexually explicit e-mail messages even after she told him it was a turn-off. When she asked him if he was a "tranny chaser" he of course denied it. Now tell me folks, does an ally behave this way?

Idle Q,

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...

Recent conversation with female friend as best as I can recollect it.
"Well, you must be bi-sexual. I mean you say that Shelley is."

"Yes, Shelley is, I'm not."

"But that makes no sense."

"It makes perfect sense to me. I have prohibitions about using certain body parts for certain purposes.
If I go all the way I'll have all the parts, and, likely my perspective will change."

"But then you're gay."

And around and around we go.

Damnit, I'm so confused about my sexuality now...

I don't know what is coming over me this time, but nothing is certain anymore. I'm not sure what to do ... I've been like this once before ... It's like the bisexual feelings I get once in a while confuse me ... They make me wonder wether I'm making the right choices and wether I'm bound to screw my life up or not. I mean, damnit I don't even know what I mean ...

There's this androgynity of some sort ... I mean, I have a lot of girlish traits but I have some masculine traits too... They bug me and they keep making me wonder wether I am desiring something that I shouldn't desire... There are a couple of things that started this whole thing, and now I'm completely and utterly confused again. I mean, I'm attracted to both boys and girls so I'm a bisexual, right? But it's different than that. I like different aspects in guys than I like in girls ... Girls are more curvey, nice, gentil while guys are strong, hard-edged and muscled(Oh yeah ;D), and I am doubting so much about what I am doing. I really feel the need to become a true female but my mind keeps going thru these loops which make me doubt more and more. What I was thinking was that maybe my mind screws things up in such a way, that being a girl would seem better ... easier or whatever. I'm so scared I'm making the wrong decisions and no test is gonna help me out of this mess. Everything is twisted and turned and I'm not sure what to do.

At these times I feel like taking a huge knife and just slitting my wrists, just to be done with it.

Does anyone, have any idea's what the hell I'm supposed to do with these feelings?

- Suzanne
