Dating a Trans Person (FTM)

Debbie,

How you personally ID can never be a wrong thing. It is about you and how you see yourself and no one else gets to judge this.

Now i was raised in a very strict Pentecostal family and have been very ignorant for the lack of a better word.
I feel like a baby alot of the time just learning to live. I am so thankful that i have a wonderful man to help me learn and knows that i love Him and only ask questions out of pure innocence and trying to make His life better.
I asked Him this question, and i have been asked it alot by my gay friends.. i thought you were a lesbian? why are you with a man?
I have said, i am a lesbian still, just cant help where your heart falls.
Is that wrong?
I have so much to learn still and i am thankful to Ethan for being so caring and patient with me.
Guess i have said enough... prolly dont even make sense.
Thanks
Debbie

Jesse,
Thank you so much! That really helps out alot.
I am content with who i am and Who i am with.
My 14 yr old daughter knows Him as a He and she asked Him if she could call Him Dad.
All is right in my world, for once.
