i have never wanted to emulate the life of straight folks, i don't want to look like them, i don't want to have sex like them and i don't want to be referred to as MAN/WOMAN..i don't want it to be expected that i want to be with a *male* ID'd partner.

CD,
Thank you for articulating thoughs and feelings I've had myself.

For me:
I would date a male id'd woman. One that desires too be called he, I find this more difficult for me, but would personally not limit myself by this alone.

xo,
