Dating a Transwoman

Nadeest · 05-10-2013, 10:32 PM

I don't necessarily agree with the author about that phrase/word, but to each their own. To my mind, I am both trans and a woman; therefore, I don't mind being called a transwoman, as long as they are not trying to disparage me, by doing so.

I've had different experiences then most women, especially when growing up. This particular body of mine has never experienced the normal female reproductive cycles, not will it, ever. I didn't deal with female puberty, as a teenager, instead, I underwent a shortened version of it, as an adult. These are facts. I can't ignore them, and I refuse to try. Denying them would simply send me back into the same frame of mind that I had, when I refused to admit to myself, that I was ts. I won't do that.

KnightsBlade, I don't see you as less then a man, at all. Nor do I see any other ftm as such. I've dealt with cis-males, and I've dealt with ftms. The differences that I've seen, between the two types is that ftms generally tend to have a bit more compassion and understanding of what women go thru then cis-males do.

They also tend to have a bit more understanding of what it is like to transition, which is one reason that I'd date an ftm a lot quicker then I would a cis-male. There is also the fact that I don't have to worry quite so much about being assaulted, when I have to have that 'talk' with a male that i am attracted to.
