Finding my sexuality


Ashlee

Recommended Posts

So here lately I am finding out more and more about myself. I have dated guys in the past but years ago. I have been trying to pass as a cis guy for like 15 years up until this last 6 months. I've dated mostly women in that time and still am attracted to women but lately have also had attraction twards guys. Some guys I find sooo beautiful. So I considered myself bi. No biggie. Well, after being pretty much out now completely, people are approaching me and showing my their trans friends and/or family members and asking questions about "would I date him, her, them or they or whatever. Well, it turns out that I am not bi. I really would date anyone I guess. Well, as long as I find the attractive. Race, gender, orientation, whatever. It really doesn't matter to me. I find attractive people from all groups. My friend is dating a trans guy and he is soooo cute. I'd date him. I'd also date her though and she is a bi woman. We bull crap all the time about it. So I think that's call pansexual? I'm not sure. I guess If someone is attractive to me I just don't care about "what" they are. If they make me feel good and laugh and whatever then yeah, we can date. A lot of stuff going on in my transition lately and I like it

Looks like you enjoy exploring all your available options.  You have many more now.  I think this is a good thing.  I'm very happy for you and all the positive things you are experiencing now with your transition.  You've sure come along way, Ashlee.

My fiance is pansexual. I consider myself a gay man.  He says for him being pan means it's the person not their gender that matters to him.  I hope that helps.

Yes that is how I feel. It's really the person. Me, a friend of mine and a cis male coworker were discussing sexuality. He had so many questions. Im trans female and my friend is a bi female. Well, she thought she was bi. She found out she is pansexual tonight. She just got out of a relationship with an gay female but before that has 2 children with her ex. The cis guy asked if she would date me. She replied "of course", wich made me feel good. He told her I wasn't either tho, a boy or a girl. She said I was a girl. She also said she doesn't care what a person has downstairs only how the make her feel and laugh. I explained, thats "that's pan" open to anyone. He still doesn't quite understand but is very curious another girlfriend I work with has a boyfriend who is a trans guy. She stepped in and said she would date me also. He said he wouldn't date me because I hat a penus but would it I didn't. Lol. We laughed said and I'm still the same girl with or without it. I am so blessed and fortunate to have my awesome friends. Crazy how this tiny town has a lot of LGBTQ+ people in it. I have found so many people here that already had me identified as trans and approached me to just hang out or talk if I needed.

I am definitely exploring all options. I guess the way I feel is to treat others as I want to be treated or accept others the way I want to be. I'm very attracted to cute guys, always have been but openly accept it now, and also attracted to girls. A person's genitalia would never be a deal breaker for me. I don't care about that. I'm so thankful for my friends and this forum for guidance and support. Also my family. They(mostly) rock. I've socially changed my name which was easy because my last name is actually Ashley so I just switched my names around. I've been called Ashlee all my life so I just stuck with it. I'm scared if what tomorrow holds but at the same time and the first time in my life excited to see what tomorrow has in store. All tomorrows.

I'm having issues with that right now. I always have been attracted to women and so considered myself Lesbian. I'm MtF just FYI. Then as I found that I liked both genders I then modified it to be Lesbian pan. Now it changed to Lesbian Bi. I'm not sure who I would have sex with. I'm still leaning toward Lesbian though.

Moi, there are no one way to be if you are uncertain.  Take life as it comes and eventually things will sort themselves out.  Have fun, be safe and see what happens.

 

Cheers, Jani

I like to relax when possible and let things find their level, pretty much as Jani is saying. These terms bi. lesbian, gay etc float about all over but my opinion is to forget about them and follow your feelings. I find it hard enough to understand a partners take on things without trying to use a label myself. For example, recently I did wonder how I can be feeling an intermate relationship with a man is not gay but heterosexual when I am physically male too? To me it's not gay but to him it likely would be?  In this I think the termenology could easily destroy the relationship even if the attraction is there. It gets too deep! :hairpull:

      This is the dress I'll be wearing this evening while we watch the Kentucky Derby. Not sure if I'll throw on heels or flats with it - probably flats but I haven't worn heels in a while and the Force is strong.

      Good morning, everyone!! I'm already on my 3rd cup of coffee and it's just 5AM. I can't imagine why no one else is here posting already!!??    It's supposed to be a cool day here with rain in the afternoon so no lounging outside for me. Our pool was opened yesterday so I'll make sure we have what we need to get it cleaned up and ready. The water temp is only about 60 right now so after I get the algae knocked down and the salt level right to begin making chlorine, I'll turn on the heater to warm it up. Probably a week before we'll be swimming.   Today is Kentucky Derby day so we'll put on dresses, hats and have a Mint Julep while we watch on TV.    Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      I feel like it took a while to land in the 'middle zone', but it did happen. But obviously all those decades of testosterone poisoining take their toll, the middle zone is still preferable to the old life.

      Everything that @MaybeRob said above is spot on with me too. The changes are much more subtle the older you start. I started HRT at 56 and of the feminine physical changes I experienced from HRT, 80% of all my changes happened by my 3 year mark. The other 20% of the changes are continuing still.   The feminine results I still see change happening in include: reduced and thinning arm, leg, and body hair, body fat redistribution to my hips and butt. There may be still some minor facial fat redistribution but at this point it’s getting harder to tell. The facial fat redistribution started after year 1. Also, I’m still on Progesterone which was added into my HRT regimen after year 1. I believe that is responsible for increasing the size and darkening the color of my nipples to a much more feminine look. I was happy about those changes because my BA procedure alone did nothing to improve that aspect of my breasts. I will be getting off Progesterone at the end of this year now that it has done its job. I will be 6 years on HRT this September. I’m guessing I may have a year or two left before all the expected changes will have occurred.   Hope that helps a little, Susan R🌷

      Trans Group Zoom Meeting Tomorrow!!   It’s almost time for another Zoom Meet-up and I’m sure it’ll be another entertaining time to get together with others from our community. As usual, these meeting can last up to 4 hours or longer. Come when you can and leave whenever you want. The start times are listed below.   If you need a Zoom Link, Message me as soon as possible as I will be gone early all day tomorrow (Sat.). I will PM you a link here before I leave for the day tomorrow. See you all next week.   Have Fun! Susan R🌷   From Zoom Host AllieJ: We had 15 at our last zoom of April, with great discussions as usual. When there are this many people attending, we have to be a little stricter with keeping our talking time short and watching for hands up so everybody can contribute. Best is to use the electronic ‘Raise Hand’ so it is more visible.    Trans Group Zoom Meeting Times: May 4, 2024 6:00 PM Pacific Time May 4, 2024 8:00 PM Central Time May 5, 2024 11:00 AM Australia/Melbourne

      Wow, Birdie, I hope you get better soon.  At least the nurses figured out that you're not their standard patient.  Hopefully they treat you right.     I wish my husband would replace our stoves.  Of course we use propane, being way out of town, but they're old.  They are supposed to use a battery igniter, but one hasn't worked in years.  There's actually a hole sawed in the bottom plate of the oven where I stick a match.  And the other one had some sort of valve problem, and couldn't get the parts.  I was hoping for a new stove, but I got to watch in awe and dismay as my husband made a "something" with a piece cut from a roll of bulk automotive gasket material.  It works, no leaks.  But I swear we don't replace anything here until it is absolutely dead.  With my luck, that will be another 20 years on those stoves.      I don't complain much, but I wish I had some nicer kitchen things.  Nobody understands that if I'm serving dinner for 36 people, cooking on sheetmetal plates or using stuff from a 1980s junkyard is a bit....suboptimal.  When I mention it, I get lengthy apocalyptic tales of the deprived life in Argentina or Mexico or "In Soviet Union, stove cooks you..."  Thanks, GF.  Or maybe I'm just too spoiled?

      I do the best I can to 'Pass' and I think I have become better at feminizing my appearance ... But, I have also come to realize that no matter how much I feel I pass, it's more up to the individual I interact with than with my efforts and appearance. If they are self-aware humans they will see me as I truly am ... and then I will receive a compliment, or a 'Ma'am', or just a friendly smile.  That's all I really need.

      In my case, at almost 9 months, most changes have been very subtle. I was 60 when I started, and overweight. Also, I am not very observant when it comes to changes. In the last 3 months I have been on T blockers and breast growth have definitely started having suffered irregular "ouchies", but at the same time I have been slowly losing fat, so Bust measurements have not changed. What has changed in the density, I can feel a difference. Face wise the skin feels softer, and my lashes seem to be more visible. Head hair regrowth is a maybe- maybe not situation.  I do have to select men's clothing carefully to camouflage the change in breast shape. I guess I'm still at the not passable as a female stage especially with no makeup. I'm also over 6 foot and well over 100kgs which I guess is problematic to start with!   Hope this helps somewhat   Kate .
