I moved on but not without some baggage that still to this day enters into my relationships.
I would like to see us discuss codes of ethics we should all be living by in order to respect one another. We all have them in our circles.
1.You don't steal or sleep with another butches/trans/guys partner, lover, girl, or woman.
2.Use preferred pronouns when addressing each other.
3. If a butch buddy or trans or guy friend asks me about someone they are interested in I feel it is my duty to be honest with them in a way that is not bashing but is straight forward about my experience of that person.
These are just some thoughts folks!!!

Code of Ethics.
For me, number one also includes not dating a friend's ex-girlfriend.
I would not say that it is "unethical" to date a friends ex-g.f. per say, and some people may even ask their friend if it would be ok, but for me, I find it best just to see anyone that any of my friends have dated as being "off limits". It just makes things a lot easier.
Anyone else follow this "rule"?
