Translesbian?

[mykala]

 Does anyone feel that dating cis gendered woman make them feel less of a woman?

[Ms Grace]

Not at all. Your sexual preference has nothing to do with your gender identity.

Does anyone feel that dating cis gendered woman make them feel less of a woman?

Lol on the contrary.
To me its femininity multiplied.
They add their femininity which can be a nice mix.

You can really talk about girls stuff ...
what a girl really wants    men are more holding back in that category ...

Are cis women that date cis women less of a woman? Are they both less or is just one of them??? If a cis woman dates a trans woman is she more of a woman? Sounds like internalised trans/homophobia to me :C

Sexual orientation is who you go to bed with.

Gender identity is who you go to bed as.

They really don't have anything to do with each other.

I will say this - if I am in a relationship with a woman, I want her to view me as a woman and only a woman. If she views me as a man then we have a problem.

Dating a cis woman (or anyone, cis or trans) doesn't make you less of a woman. It makes attractive to someone. Someone appreciates your romantic energy. Enjoy it. That's a major piece of what it means to be a woman.

Here's a YouTube channel that talks about the TransLesbian community,

I think the original poster wanted to discuss the worries of lower self imaging when your with a cisgender woman.

When I'm with my wife I do sometimes compare my body to hers, and feel I must still fill the male role, but over time this is getting less important. I may compare our waists and think Ill never have a waist like that but then I'll compare our skin and think how similar they are now. I think most woman have issues with there bodies and the media's unrealistic image for women, so in reality we are just like cisgender women in this regard.

I often fantasize that maybe being with a man they would treat me more like a woman, but then I think of having to kiss one or actually look at them during sex and say "its not worth it" Over time my wife is treating me more like a woman and that maybe good enough.

I should note that while I think of myself as a Lesbian inside, my wife does not feel the same way, and we are not involved in the lesbian community. We will likely separate as best friends, and if I ever decide to date again I'd look for a place in the lesbian community.

[Dee Marshall]

I'm in much the same situation as you, Bobbie except that my wife and I may not ever actually separate. I discovered something by accident that may help. I started recording and charting my measurements and found that they were gradually coming closer to where I dream they may someday be. The changes are so slow that they're not noticeable. Charting lets me see them and that encourages me.

I'm also a trans lesbian and haven't been intimate with another person for several years. Sweetie is Ill and even if she wasn't the changes make her uncomfortable. I'll admit that I've started fantasizing about women I know which makes me ashamed but I can't help it.

Being with the one guy I dated I felt so obviously and naturaly feminine to his masculinity. When I have been with another woman though I found myself being much more aware of my masculine traits and comparing myself to her femininity more.

[RobynD]

Not at all and i agree the gender and preference thing is completely separate. I'm married to a woman.

I do though appreciate the fact that i am attracted to males too though (and some of them me it seems....go figure) , I doubt that it makes me feel more feminine but i am proud of it nonetheless.
