Thanking you both for making me feel welcome here again. I was not sure that this forum and website would even still be active any more after such a long , long time!
At the moment I am at a crossroads of confusion and shame - my partner (female) found out about my lifelong love and desire for trans/cd people, and she was disturbed to say the least, it did not help the already awful feelings that I have been trying hard to swallow since I was a child!
Still, she has been "kind" of supportive in a way, yet is still extremely puzzled by me as I was sexually abused as a child by my father from the age of 3 until I turned 11, on an almost nightly basis. She thinks "how can you possibly like ANYTHING with a male anatomy after that happened to you?"
I have asked myself the SAME question since I was young enough to form the English word myself, and I have no answers to that. I am NOT attracted to men, I despise them, but Trans/Cd is another matter indeed I feel. I think of them as a third sex, to be honest, I know this sounds very weird/obscure but it's how I view it.
Again, thanks so very very much for welcoming me!
