There isn't anything wrong with being a lesbian. I am sure Jenny will be along to tell you of her love affair with her partner of 20 plus years.
I would not throw away a relationship with another Transwoman. I actually think it would be more of an emotional connection, not just because we would both be going through the same things, but also because we would both be women. Women are morse emotionally connected to their partners than men.
As Janet says been there seen that done it, and got the tee shirt.

There is a slight difference in that Alison and I did not meet until we were both long time postop which probably made the negotiation of the physical aspects of our relationship easier, except for the minor fact that at the time we were both in relationships with men, and although I will not presume to talk for Alison I enjoy being penetrated.
The key to success is to accept that you are both women and that therefore like any lesbian relationship there needs to be give and take. You both have to be prepared to take the lead, and/or be submissive as need arises.
All I can say is that 22 years on we have proved that such relationships can and do survive and work well. In many respects I have adopted the more traditionally male role, but only because I am far better qualified and therefore, in theory at least, have a much higher potential earnings capacity.
The thing is if you love each other then you make up your own rules and you make it work!
And good luck to you - and indeed to anyone else who wants to try! I can recommend the concept whole heartedly.
