Susan's Place Transgender Resources

in regards to sexuality.  They can be funny things or just odd or just boggle the mind.  Anything goes.

I was talking to my mom today and she asked if the girls watching my place were lovers and I said "yes" and that they had been going out for three years.  She then assumed that because I'm friends with lesbians means I'm a lesbian.  I honestly had no idea how to answer because it was the funniest/oddest thing I've ever heard her say in regards to sexuality.  It still makes me smile and it's been over an hour since she said it because it just boggles my mind how she reached that conclusion.

When I was about 15, I told my mom that I thought sex was gross.  She told me not to tell anyone that, because they'd think I was a lesbian.  ???

It was a question instead of a statement that went along the lines of ... Why are you and Sevan having sex change's when you can already have sex?

I was visiting my sisters business and met her son who i hadn't seen in years and works there. I was with the 88 year old woman i am helping. She told my nephew, hello and quickly said i was her husband. Of course she is senile some and well she wanted to look good in front of him but the strangest thing is.....  she is my MOM !!! :o ::)  yikes my sister and nephew looked totally  :o  and so did i and so i said NOOO MOMMMMM     ::)    i am your son ...  :embarrassed: not your husband.. roflmao

"wait ,so first you said you where asexual and now your telling me your transsexual ? ... if your not going to do it why do you want a sex change ?"

classic.

dad " I'M OKAY WITH YOU BEING A LESBIAN ! You don't have to do this !"
me " Dad I'm not into relationships in general, I want to because I'm going crazy!"
dad "But you don't like penis !"
me "not in the way you'd imagine it."

Oddest thing I've been told was by my uncle, it was something along the lines of being told to pick one or the other when I came out as bisexual, I remember the words "You either want the best of both worlds or can't make up your mind which you like more." . To this day I don't know if he was joking or not, can never tell with him.

Neighbour to me (after we had lived in our current home for a few years during which time I was discretely in stealth whilst Alison was not...): "You are so understanding towards Alison, how come you know so much much about being Trans?"
Me "Because I also have experience of being trans."
Neighbour "So you want to be a man? Well that's ok, I gather they can do that these days, I saw a TV programme."
Me "No not exactly. I had my treatment before I even met Alison."
Neighbour "Wait! So you were..... NO! I don't believe it. I've seen the portrait of you as a child. You looked just like my sister."
Me "I had very understanding parents..."  :laugh:

Dad: I think you are a very sexy female.


Male Friend: You aren't masculine at all.

bahaha

@Tad

You are a Very Cool and Good looking Man. No doubt about it. Your parents and friends are in denial.  :)

Well..it happened to my sister but it was about me:             

Stranger: how old are you?
Sister: 18
Stranger: you have any siblings?
Sister: I have a twin!
Stranger: how old is your twin?


Lol!

Oh, and my dad told me I can't be transgender because I wear boys clothes. WTF!

Had another lol moment today.

Dad: Aren't you cold in those shorts?
Me: They aren't shorts Dad, they are boxers
Dad: Blank look.


I just find it hilarious that I walk around the house in boxers (don't look like shorts), every day.. he knows what boxers are and yet doesn't seem to realize that I am wearing them.

After I was caught cross-dressing at 16:
Step Mother: "You're gay aren't you? That's why you wear women's clothes - because your gay."
Dad: "Stop being gay."

I was getting intimate with an ex and he asked me, "Can I put Nutella on your legs and lick it off?"

I guess its not that odd...but is there a Nutella fetish I don't know about or what?

Theres a fetish for everything. It taste good so why not lick it off someone? I just wish there was a vanilla version.

I was standing out side a bar, wearing skinny jeans and not even trying to pass,  when a couple guys walk past....
"Dude, people are going to think your a chick if you wear pants like that!" 

another time in college, after i had come out as a lesbian, and before I realized im trans, I ended up dating a guy. one of my friends...
"Wait... what?  My lesbian friend has a boyfriend now?  I don't understand."

I've also had people try to understand my gender and sexuality, and just failed to understand.
"So wait...  your not a lesbian? what are you?"

I hate to admit it, but I had this same thought about a month ago.  I realized that I couldn't be trans because I am perfectly happy as a guy and don't feel like a girl.  I had a wonderfully relieved few moments until reality kicked in.  Sometimes I forget that I'm not a bioguy when I'm just hanging out by myself.

Back on topic, my funniest quote came from my mother when I told her I'm bi.  "Life will be easier for you if you end up with a guy."  This was before I figured out about being trans, but it still makes me laugh.

That homosexuality is mother natures way of controlling the population growth

Said to me by a Tongan corporal while I was in the army:
"<Lastname>, you is a gumboot that was a butterfly in a past life!"

Context: the corporal was refering to the fact that my elbows tended to 'flap' while I was doing drill movements (marching), hence why he referred to me being a butterfly in a past life. 'Gumboot' was a generic insult they called recruits.
His slightly broken English made the quote though.

I guess I have two:

Stranger: "Ya know, you'd make a really handsome boy."
~ random girl who had just been introduced to me by a mutual friend.

Mother: "But if you get that done (SRS), and you like girls... how can you have sex?"
Me: "They're called lesbians, mom."
Mother: *brief pause* "Does that even work!?"
~ part of the conversation I had when first coming out to my mom.

That bisexuality is a phase.

On the sub-topic of funny conversations heres one, i was chatting to my mate in a field after having had a drink or two, i was wearing a womens check chirt and baggy cargo jeans and wellies, nothing that could possibly make me "pass" as a boy. My hair was also short back then just to set the scene.

Me: I slept with an older guy and my mum is freaking out.
Mate: No way! Is she giving you a hard time?
Me: Not as much as when I came out to her.
Mate: (Eyes me up and down). Came out? So what are you?! I thought you were a girl?

classic.

I've had the exact same conversation. With my parents.

"You wanna have a sex change?! But... you were always such a typical little boy!"
"Mom, I loved My Little Pony, hated sports, never liked toy weapons, and never liked action-filled entertainment. God's sake, I was 12 before Ninja Turtles stopped being too scary for me!"
"But... you were just a typical little, modern, softer boy!"

She has a point, in that I never had any stereotypically feminine interests (excepting My Little Pony, The Little Mermaid, and other stuff I'd watch eagerly as soon as I could use the "my little sister wants to watch it!" excuse). But, it's not like I had any stereotypically masculine ones, either!

*sigh* I've done that, too.

"Seems some trans women experience [X]. Well, it's an outrage, of course. Just glad I'll never have to go through that, because I'm not... waitaminute!"

I've done that too.  I'll wake up from a nap and think "It's so awesome being a guy."  Then reality hits.

The other day I was talking with a friend of mine.  Went something like this:
Her:  You like guys too?!
Me:  Yeah.
Her:  Well, what's the point of getting a sex change if you're going to be with a man?!
Me: *facepalm* Sexual orientation is not the same as gender identity. 

My friend has repeatedly asked me if she could see my penis when I get one. No matter how many times I try to explain things to her, she just doesn't understand that:
a) It's likely that I will never have bottom surgery
b) It would be weird to ask a normal guy that, so why would you ask me?
c) OMG You've been my best friend for most of my life that's so awkward why would you ask me thatfjwjdbgkwka

She's pretty strange.

This is more of oddest thing I've ever been asked which was totally a happy moment. My friend asked me how big it was and asked me if I was circumcised  :laugh:

I think my oddest was when I told my friend I was transitioning. She said, "Will it work?"  Then kissed me of all things. 


Too bad she don't talk to me anymore.

When I first came out to my mom she ran around yelling "You want to grow a penis!!!!!!!!!!!"
A few months ago she said "What if the surgery goes wrong and you end up not fully being a man, but not fully a woman either?"

Tell her she can see it if she wants to be the first to try it out.
