Dating a Transwoman
I found this article tonight, and thought that I would share it with everyone. I find it quite interesting, and worthy of further thought. http://www.autostraddle.com/getting-...-women-160269/

Nadeest, I hope you know by now that I thread stalk you!!!! :winky:
Thank you so much for posting this and starting this thread. You always give me so much to think about, especially because I don't have personal contact with any "folk of trans experience" like myself, in my offline world. It makes me feel isolated, in some respects, and articles like this make me feel like my community is just this much closer to me. Some of what the author of the article speaks about is just as relevant to men of trans experience, too. Thanks again, and have a wonderful week!! :) :bouquet: ~Theo~ :bouquet: |
Nadeest thank you for posting this. I found the article very interesting and was glad to read it to remind me that my sisters have it difficult too. I really liked the authors comment about how you are either a trans or a woman but not both. I feel the same way way when someone refers to me as a trans man. It is like saying I am less of a man. I am either a trans or a man, well at least for society sake because in my head I am a man.
Once again my friend thank you....maybe I should thread stalk you more. :fastdraq: (f) |
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. |

Long day and I work tomorrow. However, I just had to say, in regards to the post of yours that I dinged...thatta girl Nadeest! All my respect! DMW |
