"How To Make Love to a Trans Person" by Gabe Moses
I did not see this anywhere on the site but LOVED it and wanted to share it with everyone...
How To Make Love to a Trans Person by Gabe Moses Forget the images you've learned to attach To words like cock and clit, Chest and breasts. Break those words open Like a paramedic cracking ribs To pump blood through a failing heart. Push your hands inside. Get them messy. Scratch new definitions on the bones. Get rid of the old words altogether. Make up new words. Call it a click or a ditto. Call it the sound he makes When you brush your hand against it through his jeans, When you can hear his heart knocking on the back of his teeth And every cell in his body is breathing. Make the arch of her back a language Name the hollows of each of her vertebrae When they catch pools of sweat Like rainwater in a row of paper cups Align your teeth with this alphabet of her spine So every word is weighted with the salt of her. When you peel layers of clothing from his skin Do not act as though you are changing dressings on a trauma patient Even though it's highly likely that you are. Do not ask if she's "had the surgery." Do not tell him that the needlepoint bruises on his thighs look like they hurt If you are being offered a body That has already been laid upon an altar of surgical steel A sacrifice to whatever gods govern bodies That come with some assembly required Whatever you do, Do not say that the carefully sculpted landscape Bordered by rocky ridges of scar tissue Looks almost natural. If she offers you breastbone Aching to carve soft fruit from its branches Though there may be more tissue in the lining of her bra Than the flesh that rises to meet it Let her ripen in your hands. Imagine if she'd lost those swells to cancer, Diabetes, A car accident instead of an accident of genetics Would you think of her as less a woman then? Then think of her as no less one now. If he offers you a thumb-sized sprout of muscle Reaching toward you when you kiss him Like it wants to go deep enough inside you To scratch his name on the bottom of your heart Hold it as if it can- In your hand, in your mouth Inside the nest of your pelvic bones. Though his skin may hardly do more than brush yours, You will feel him deeper than you think. Realize that bodies are only a fraction of who we are They're just oddly-shaped vessels for hearts And honestly, they can barely contain us We strain at their seams with every breath we take We are all pulse and sweat, Tissue and nerve ending We are programmed to grope and fumble until we get it right. Bodies have been learning each other forever. It's what bodies do. They are grab bags of parts And half the fun is figuring out All the different ways we can fit them together; All the different uses for hipbones and hands, Tongues and teeth; All the ways to car-crash our bodies beautiful. But we could never forget how to use our hearts Even if we tried. That's the important part. Don't worry about the bodies. They've got this.

Yes, it is a wonderful poem. I ran across it a while ago, and made copies of it for myself.

None of this was a problem for me. I was in love and so everything he did was amazing and new and exciting. It helped that he didn't smell like any woman I'd ever been that close to.
And he's hairy. He hated his hair but I love it. When I'm turned on it reminds me he's a gorgeous man, when I'm feeling cuddly he's like a big teddy bear :P

LaneyDoll thank you for posting the poem. It made me start thinking about how I would like to be made love to and seduced by my lover (not that I have one at the moment, but that's another thread). I hope you don't mind me bumping your thread and ask the question your post by Gabe Moses so eloquently describes, how do other TGs like to made love to or seduced (I know there is a thread out there about this particular topic, but I didn't feel comfortable posting there because of how I identify).
I think it starts with a knowing look with a smile. The touches of the hand on my thigh as we drive. Or slipping her hand into mine as we walk down the street. When it comes to making love, I believe it is with the whole being, spirit, mind and body. I hope that my lover will do the same for me, because I cherish her in that very same way. Please do not let my cock be the only thing to focus on because it is only one aspect of who I am. I am much more and have much more to offer. I will respect her boundaries and hope that she will respect mine. I'm sure there is more to post, but I'll leave it at that and come back later with more.
