Title: Girl Crush!
Post by: mandonlym on May 06, 2014, 10:11:29 AM
I just published this new piece about my first crush on a girl:

https://medium.com/the-archipelago/63597a86ffc0

Anyone else care to talk about their shifting sexualities because of transition? I never slept with a girl as a boy, couldn't even fathom doing it! Now here I am all sexually fluid and stuff. :)

Nice article Meredith! I've always been into women cis and trans women it has a lot of bearing on my androgynous option over full transition. Boys have always been the ones I once punched, yelled at and shot dead, not anything I'd moon over. I prefer the company of women 10-1 over that of males. But I'm sure you and others here know that, because aside from offering loads of encouragement to those transitioning women I am above all an ardent flirt.

I speak French and loved all the language stuff.

You are a talented writer. Have you put together any longer publications?

For me, I've always known I liked girls (I totally fell for Viola of Twelfth Night when I was 7), though I was not really interested in doing anything pre-transition. Strangely enough, like you, I couldn't imagine being a boy with a girl.

I'm kind of curious about the idea of sleeping with a guy. I'm not sure I'd really like it though. More for educational purposes. ;)

Interesting story and I enjoyed your writing.  :)

I wonder if I'll ever experience anything like that myself.  I can't really see myself with a girl and the idea puts me off, though it's strange because I get along better with women and it probably would be so much easier.  I notice a lot of people experience some shift in sexuality as they get progress more into their transition, so I always say who knows and remain open minded though doubtful of a shift ever occurring.  It kind of bothers me to be honest, cause I pride myself on juding people for their souls and characters yet I'm staunchly using gender to distinguish who is potential dating material.  You can't help who and what you like, but it's an odd thing when you think about it.

Thanks Sarah! Funny you ask because I met with an agent last week and she's interested in representing a book of my essays so I'll be writing writing writing this summer in hopes that it happens.

And funny enough, one of the essays I'm planning is set in the theatre watching the recent Globe production of Twelfth Night on Broadway, which is Elizabethan style so all the women were played by men. So my date and I had all these discussions about all the cues that indicated Viola and the other characters were being played by men and how it would be different if they were played by women, etc., etc., while he didn't know about my history. It was a really mind-trippy experience, and one that over the years I've found myself in, forgetting I'll be in spaces where gender presentation becomes an issue.

Oh, that's fantastic, congratulations! I actually work in publishing myself, though I'm just an editor.

The Globe is fantastic! They have an all-female troupe as well, because screwing with people's heads is good for them. ;)

I've used to always be like 99% into girls and 1% into guys, like only slightly attracted to probably under 1% of men in general.

Now I'm still just as attracted to girls, but I'm finding my interest in guys to be increasing, and I don't know what to think of it, or whether I should hate it or love it.

I'm sort of feeling really confused and weirded out by it - I knew before starting hormones that this sort of thing can happen, and isn't really uncommon. I keep catching myself staring at guys like I usually only stare at girls, and it's really weirding me out. Like before I realize what I'm doing I'll catch myself staring at a guys arms or chest or face or whatever. There's lots of cognitive dissonance about it for me.

I'm also liking different -types- of guys than before. Before, I liked only feminine guys, not like actually -feminine- but I mean like skinny, not muscular, not "mr. macho man dude guy bro." But now I'm liking the types I never liked EVER before, mainly just ones with good muscle tone and the right skin, face, little body fat, the right type of face, etc. It's really weird. If you've seen the movie "Spun", the guy who got shot in the junk near the end was what -used- to be my type of guy, now it's broadened.

It's one thing to read about it and hear about it, and another to experience it.

Is it strange that I simultaneously wish I wasn't finding guys more attractive, while also enjoying my attraction to them? It's really uncommon for me to like and dislike something at the same time, and that is what's going on right now.

I mean, it's really not -bothering- me, and I'm a really happy person in general, but it's just really really confusing to me.

Me too! I saw a guy jogging shirtless and the feeling caught me totally by surprise, all the way down to my toes! Is it the hormones or is it that I'm allowing myself to feel female now?

You're right, I don't know why I felt so guilty about it before. Its weird how I can be disgusted by the male parts of my body, yet be completely enthralled when it's on someone else..

its our female brains sister. we're girls after all so it cant be helped, though i do find it disturbing, guilt riddenable and it drives my dysphoria into uncharted waters of crazy but as i said, i cant argue with psychological phenomenon. just my question is, why so suddenly i cant stop thinking about guys o.o its puzzling.

Your brain is telling you to get some of that! you're starving the poor thing :)

My attraction to females has always been a mix of jealousy- a pretty even mix too. My attraction to guys has always been riddin with guilt. Thank god things are evening out.

I don't find my thoughts resting on guys that often, I'm too busy thinking about my own body right now  :o I think that's why the sudden change took me off guard! Life is suddenly exciting.

got that right xD feel like i can breathe but yea, the whole guy thing took me for a loop, near knocked me down and same with me! but my jealousy turns to rage though o.o for as long as i can remember, i've always been the jealous type. i take my mind off my body by just avoiding to see whats dangling down there o.o even wear shorts in the shower and i wear multiple shorts under my pants. i think i might go into denial about liking guys though o.o

Even before hrt mine shrunk considerably, and now so even more that I'm on hrt. So, since I basically need tweezers to find it, lol! I just wear two pairs of panties the first a little tighter than the second and no problem! Abra Cadabra it dissappears! Seriously girls this works for me, and after your on hrt a bit it might for at least some of you & makes things a lot easier when you gotta tinkle. But I guess it depends on how big you are down there to begin with, Ew! :icon_censored: Lol!!

Ew!, Ew!, Ew!, Ew!, Ew! rrrrggghhhh I hate even talking about the discusting, abhorrent repulsive thing, yuck. I feel really dirty now, Ew! :icon_invision:

Hey, Umiko it's the honest truth. I don't know how many of my posts you've read so I'll tell you here. In addition to knowing I was a girl from my first waking memory I was later diagnosed with Klinefelters Syndrome, meaning instead of a normal x & y chomasomes I'm xxy. And, my extra little extra "x" has been a godsend providing me with very feminine features, narrow shoulders, short torso, and long legs for my height. It was around 22-23 years ago I noticed a change in me especially in the nether regeons. I think my being trans and soooooo wanting to be female made me lose what little sex drive I had and it and it's two discusting cohorts began shrinking. Fast forward to now especially with my finally after sooooo many waisted years in misery I've began my full transition starting my hrt 4 months and 1 week ago, with at least VFS, & SRS/GRS being my goal after a reasonable time on hrt the hormones have already done me a solid. In fact, 1 pair of panties works if they're solid colored when I'm wearing shorts or pants. However when I wear one of my summer dresses, short skirts (which I love by the way, or my LBD (Little Black Dress) I wear two pair for added security. I'm kind of tiny at 5-5 & 118 lb's and my hrt has been enhancing my existing feminine features very nicely. Pass you say? 5 years ago I was no longer able to pass for a guy at all no matter what I wore so I gave every stitch of male clothing I had to Goodwill, and began living full time. However, because I live in a very rural area of Florida it just took me a while to find the necessary Doc's to get me started on my hrt. Now I'm finally on my way, I feel 30 years younger, I'm happier than I've ever been and I'm never looking back!

Sorry this was so long, I just wanted you to understand why my approach to hiding that repulsive thing works for me.

Best wishes, :icon_bunch:

Believe me it took me a very long time to realize how lucky I was. See, ya know that awkward stage during transition we all go through? Well, I've lived in that stage all my life hearing the snickers and questions behind my back in checkout lines, that is, up until 5 years ago. From then on I pass 100% of the time out in public. It's only over the phone that I have to correct people and soon I'll be having my VFS so that problem will be solves.

I pass with or without makeup. Hell, if you've already gotten the voice mastered you've crossed a huge hurdle! I was in a serious aircraft accident in 1991 that required a lot of reconstructive surgery on my neck and throat (before you ask I was unconcious at the time, lol!). My voice isn't really deep, However it is kind of scratchy.

aww, i'm sry hun. you should try and practice before you do get vfs. i would only get it for my adam's apple shaving but i think it doesnt stick out that much so i should be good. my voice is scratchy to but i can raise my octave either way. its when i yell though it really comes out

Well, I have another issue, I'm 49. I think though that before they'll do the surgery they will try some level of therapy. I'm not sure on this though. I'm just very tired of a voice I can't change, and getting Sirred on the phone.

I had very very bad car accident 4 years ago too, couldnt walk for few months, scars on my legs .. but now i look a lot better than that day with scars healing pretty good (also scar in my heart has been healing from this accident) ... i used to have very pretty legs without any scars (as a leg model in my 20s :P) but now i come to accept the fact that there are few scars on my legs .. i accept myself more & love myself more .. I am almost 36 now btw...  ;)

about voice, me too .. with 2 throat operations .. my hope with Dr.Kim is like 1% left, still waiting to talk to ENT surgeon next 2 weeks and asks him to take pic of my vocal folds so I can send to Jessie and see how it goes ..
good luck to both of us Ally ! hugs

Awe thanks Diana your sweet. I feel the same way about you. My legs are proportionally long for my height, but girl, you got legs that go on forever! Scars or no scars you have one of the nicest pair of legs I've seen in a while. :eusa_dance: I'm very sorry to hear you too suffered in a bad accident. I tell others that trauma is trauma no matter how you've suffered it be it car, plane, boat, a bad fall, attack, etc. You don't just suffer physically either, you suffer mentally as well. I'm always sad to hear a friend has went through this.
I should be getting a call tomorrow from my ENT so yes, the absolute best luck to both of us Diana!! :icon_bunch:

Best wishes,
Ally :icon_flower:

Me too! I saw a guy jogging shirtless and the feeling caught me totally by surprise, all the way down to my toes! Is it the hormones or is it that I'm allowing myself to feel female now?

Yeah, last weekend I was hanging out at a coworker's house (she and her sister know I'm trans), and her sister and husband were in the hot tub. They got out and sat down at the table, him still shirtless, and it totally caught me by surprise when I couldn't stop stealing glances at his chest -blush-. He was really well toned, shaved, and tattooed, too. It's really really weird feeling to me...

I know it's the hormones, though, not me allowing myself to be female and feminine, because I was letting the female side out before hormones, if you get what I mean, and -never- did I have these feelings when looking at any guys before I had been on hormones at least a month, if not more.
