To my transgender-loving couples, how do you fit in?

Hi Mrs. Arcstriker
Great Thread Idea
Will compose my thoughts and return a bit later.

First off i want to say i'm speaking from my place and space,
it's often hard to fit in and at times very fustrating however it's a path
that we each embraced and it fits us.
Many times my partner will pass in public and
there are times not so much.
We do find socializing difficult at times, and other couples like us are few and far in between.
There are currently other factors that keep the socialization on hold.
It would seem when we are around other couples who are not TG
their curiosity and questions seem to pour forth
such as if you're queer or lesbian why are you with a Trans, TG or FTM.
Believe me even when you try to explain they sigh and some will say you just need to be with a bio male, Really???
It's exasperating at best.
