Transgender experiences---from both sides

Contributor: Otelia Otelia
Times and life change. As a child and teen there were just two options with another two variations and you were pretty much stuck in one or the other. Now if you dream it you can be that dream...pretty much....what have been your experiences in forming relationships across possibilities?

Note limited responses...will need to correct with a corrected poll at another time...

Otelia, yes this poll needs a few more choices...
I'm a CIS male and have been in loving relationships with transgender women. That option isn't in your poll selections, btw I've never constructed a Poll here so I have no idea how complicated it may be to do so.

"Normative"? Do you mean cisgender? Transgender people generally take offense to calling cisgender people "normal" as that implies that transgender people are "abnormal". Also the first two options, "I am male" and "I am female" can refer to trans men and cis men, and trans women and cis women respectively. I'm guessing that because of the third and fourth options, the first two options are only meant to apply to cis people, but this assumption implies that trans men aren't really men and that trans women aren't really women. I really am happy that you guys are trying to be more inclusive in regards to trans experiences, but I would suggest that you look into how to talk about these things using the appropriate terms first.

I completely understand your frustration. However, it's difficult to know (from my perspective) exactly what is correct in how things are supposed to be worded to be acceptable and not offensive, if you are not well read on the subject-- and not everything online is correct. I, personally, do not know enough to feel comfortable posting discussions or polls asking about transgender experiences. So I choose to post only about things that I am more familiar with. But I also risk not learning more about the topic by playing it safe, which is not good because I would love to know more.

So here is my post for the day:
I can make a really great cheesecake: In your opinion, should you always use name-brand cream cheese with the recipe or would an off (store) brand product give you the same quality cheesecake?

Just kidding! Trying to lighten it up!!

Who gets holed into the correct pigeon-hole and by whom and who selects the degree and cant and slant and touch and kiss, caress and bite --how do you determine the correct hole of all the possible holes available for contemplation and use and enjoyment ---and then there are questions about dreams and needs and wants ---what deference should there be 'tween need and want, pleading and praying. Eden here for many is rather normative, for others it is tres outre. Thank you for your addition.

WOW! That's a lot to try and understand... at least for me it is.
