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. 

Ashlee ❤️

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:

      During COVID lockdowns without any place to go, some neighborhood buddies and I would play Life for hours (imagine a bunch of middle aged men playing that game, it was a hoot - all sorts of 'house rules')... anyways, as much as I could get away with it, I would choose a pink peg to represent myself... sometimes even had a female name to go with it... this was before I even really pondered whether or not I was trans ...   I was very determined to do this ... so interesting to look back and see all the threads pointing me to where I am now, though it has come as such a surprise as well...   Easy

      Thank you all for the helpful responses... I realize some of HRT is for mental health -- like I said above I really am enjoying the ride so far in that regard!   Guess there is a part of me that wants to have my cake and eat it too. I want to have a nice feminine shape within reason for my age (fat distribution - you can kick in whenever you want!!). Yet, I am still not out to family, so I want it to be subtle enough as I go along that I can cover tracks when necessary ... Not the ideal situation but it is what it is ... maybe when family realizes that this is not making me into a monster, they will come around to some of it. I can hope, right?   More and more, I just want to look in the mirror and see a female body staring back at me ... I want female clothing that I put on to look like it fits me to a T... (and by T, I don't mean testosterone, lol)...    EasyE

      Good afternoon M.A.   Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums, I think you'll find that there are a lot of us who had their first therapist reconsidering our story and recommended us to gender or LGBTQIA specific therapist. I made my first therapist cry after asking me what was my worst experience or memory. She was not prepared for the can of worms I brought to the couch. My second therapist is a gem, she's my age and knows how to work with my thoughts.    My two kids were also involved in the arts programs in school one in theater, the other combined art and modern music.   Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Welcome.   This can be a good sounding board and a place to say things you otherwise could not. Be yourself. Find out what that is.   Abby

      I'm wearing a white t shirt and jeans.  The t-shirt is softer than a man's and slightly girly.  Feeling kinda pretty.

      That's very common in internet forums and it is hard not to take it personally sometimes.   You might post "bump" with a smiley face to bring it to the top of the stack, or you might use the @ feature if there are certain people you would really like to have comment on it, and say something like Dear Abby, I would really like your input on this.  Please take a minute and respond.  Thanks!!!

      The same for me... That's exactly were MmIndy came from. I started choosing female skins as soon as they became available in the few games I played.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Something else I noticed @Ladypcnj Since I use the Unread tab, I don't see threads I've read again until someone replies to it, or the author adds something.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
    • Mmindy
      Good morning @Ladypcnj   Some posts get lost in the busy times here. It also maters how people navigate the site. Some only look at their notifications, or tap the All Activity tab which shows them thread they've commented on. (how I see it)... I on the other hand use the Unread tag under Activity. I don't think people ignore post as much as they get caught up reading threads they've already been active in.   Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
