I actually found that "->-bleeped-<-s" have a lot better understanding of trans things.
I was talking to one guy who has dated a few trans girls (in different stages) and he really really understood me and what I was going through. He didn't mind seeing where I had come from... and loved where I was going.
It seemed like because he actually knew about everything that he had come to accept it more than other people would. I felt pretty ok sharing both the male and female aspects of myself.... instead of if I were with a "straight guy", I would be afraid to show any male aspects.
I don't want to feel like I need to hide the last 28 years of my life from my partner. I don't want my history to be a negative for my partner... I want him to appreciate and love what I am (all of what I am, history and all, not just what I will become).
Basically, for me, I need someone that loves me AND my body as it is (male and female aspects)...not someone who makes me self concious about parts of myself I can't (or don't want) to change.
