Ask a Transgender a question
All about Trans Women
Lots of you know me already and I've been happy to answer friends' questions via PMs. Here I can give you honest answers to the questions burning in your mind about transgender people but be warned: this isn't a thread for fulfilling your fantasies, it's for filling in the blanks in your knowledge about us. Trans people just want to get on with our lives and be accepted in society, so dispelling a few myths might help that.
I won't be answering questions about my personal life, just about life in general from my perspective and I hope it'll help other trans women along the way. I'll try not to be too 'political' because life should be fun and btw I don't have a dick - thank heavens... I mean dicks are fine, but not on me.

I may not be around the threads as much, but I get a notification when folks post on this one. So I'm still around, even I don't post much myself and I'm happy to answer questions that come up

Towards the end of the thread it does get quite political... Maybe, because I have most of my transitioning issues behind me I found myself focusing on that side of things and maybe Lit isn't the right forum for that. To any trans women that visit then I'll assume you're here for sex, just like I was four years ago and there ain't nothing wrong with that. But like so many other things we revisit through the course of our transition, going through that re-teen horndog phase is just another stage we pass through. To address you trans women specifically, live every day as best you can; survive; transition and find yourself a better life the other side because you're damned well worth it. Big hugs and good luck
