Susan's Place Transgender Resources

A transgender woman who has transitioned successfully in their relationship with their identified gay significant other who is cis.
I see alot of successful transitions for mtf's who have cis woman partners or ftm's with lesbian cis woman partners, but not male partners with trans women.

I'm in a relationship with someone who identifies as queer but came out of a gay identity and still sometimes uses it and I worry about our relationship in my transition, ze seems onboard but it would be nice to see/ read about some stories similar to mine.
My partner identifies as a non actively transitioning trans woman..it's safe to say hir identity is something that I choose not to define because it is ever changing and growing, which is beautiful, but i do still worry about us.

Any out there on susans? If so, share your story here if you like. :)

I am sure there a few, just no names that I can think of at the moment. ???

Abigail from PinkEssence is one of those girls. She was presenting male when she and her husband got married. Then she transitioned and her husband stayed by her side.

She's an awesome person and her husband is very cool too.

goodness this warms me.

I think that the reason that transwomen aren't often with cismen is because the transwoman doesn't want it, not because the cismen don't. A lot of Cismen are ->-bleeped-<- crazy. Of course if they are young and want to start a family they might not be able to stay with a transwoman.

As for the Transmen who are with ciswomen, hetero cismen won't want  a transman(obviously) and gay cismen generally don't stay with anyone for more than ten minutes.

My Boyfriend would disagree with you. Other guys I dated would disagree with you as well. I do too :)

The guys I dated were not ->-bleeped-<- ->-bleeped-<-s because I did not tell them about me until they asked me out,

Also, if my BF and I do get married, we plan to adopt as well as have my three other children. One can start a family without having natural childbirth.

I know transwomen who presented as a gay man to a gay partner where each will disagree with you. It does happen. I've seen it happen. It's amazing what true love can do.

And here we have the cusp of it! I think as a species, we are more sexually fluid that we care to admit. Our personalities, our their core, are gender-less. If you are really in love, you are in love with who that person is, not what that person is.

I really think you are wrong. I think some people more loyal (or sentimental, depending on how cynical you are) than others.

Please tell me about a (feminine) FTM who's married to a straight cisman......who transitioned to a gay FTM and who's cisman partner stayed with him and became gay too.....

Does this kind of straight cismen exist at all??

Ciswomen who stay with ex straight MTF's do exist, but the other way around?
