will you be gay when you have transgendered?
 
for me the best part was when I accepted the fact that I am gay. For about three years I was in denial about my sexuality, due to the fact that i was raised in a Christian family. But ever since I have become comfortable in who i am sexually, everything has been gong great

The best part is being true to myself - true to the core essence of who and what I am. The rocky road I have traveled to be me has been worth it.
 
Faulkners flow of consciousness writing apparently

have to agree with privyjo, i just feel like i am me at last. not that i ever denied i liked women and having sex with them. its just that now that i am in love with a woman who loves me back, i feel like i am 100% me. wierdest thing is, for the first time in my life i want to hold hands in public, kiss her hello, do pretty much everything together. never knew i had so much love and maybe more importantly, affection in my being. never felt like that with a guy, i never introduced someone as'my boyfriend' or 'my husband" but i sure want to refer to "my girlfriend" ALL the time!

but as usual nirvana, you have asked, not told-what is the best for you? hmmmmmmmmm,

I agree with what you and privyjo have said, but I see it in a slightly broader way. Most people in our conformist society struggle to maintain the integrity of their individuality. But, by holding us as different, society has, ironically handed us a great gift. The choice of conformity has been withheld from us, and that makes us more free.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!

C and I were talking the other day, we had spent time at the beginning of the relationship talking about and struggling with labels-bi, lesbian, always a lesbian but didn't know it? (after all we very much enjoyed the time we had with men-but what we have now WOW!), also used to joke about who was the butch one, who was the femme, and trust me-neither of us fit into either description tidiliy.

Then one day-I said to her-hey-'we are already societal outcasts, why are we trying to bring in hetro definitions and roles into our own relationship-we have the freedom to be exactly who we are without anyone telling us we should or we shouldn't".

Another weight off our shoulders and we didn't even know it was there.

Now, to continue with coming out......so far, that at least has gone well. (One resistant sister and she is coming to meet me this weekend.
 
Tough to pick just one thing....

In line with what Queersetti has mentioned... so many folks expect us to be weird, not normal and just plain off the charts... so one of my most favorite things is the confusion on hetero faces when their brains can't grasp how very human i am! *chuckle* ;)
 
For me it's being a masculine gay male and falling asleep wrapped in the arms of another masculine man.
 
Mind and heart and life all fitting together.

Oh, and love of a good woman.
 
The best part is probably the comaraderie (did I spell that right?) of finally fitting in with fellow GLBTers. Whether here on Lit or in the small GLBT community here at home (and we're talking rural New Hampshire so yes, its a small community).

After going for years as an outcast it is nice to finally fit in with my peers. After being the fag at school, the closet case in the military (in fact got dicharged for it) and absolutely shunned by my family, I can finally feel at peace with friends.

Oooh, Alison. Details please :devil: ;)
LOL.Very hard to explain.I have been aware of my bi-sexuality and been accepting of it for as long as I can remeber.It was never an issue for me.Perhaps by best of both worlds,I don't have to choose.If I am attracted to someone,then I am damn well attracted to them,
Gender,race,,etc is just not an isssue.One thing though,I have never truly had beyond more than a sexual relationship with another woman except for once.But too,,,not in and out of love with men either,,hahha.
It takes a hell of a lot to get my attention to start with,,and to actually get to my heart?It takes a most extraordianry person,,,,,very,very,very much so.

I like that. I feel the same way.

The road ahead is still rocky too...but at least now I can make sense of where I've been to get to this point.

I couldn't agree more. For me it is definately more a matter of heart/mind than physical attributes. A lot of the time I don't even like to refer to myself as bisexual because even that title doesn't really embody me.

I'd even add another dimension. Considering that my last boyfriend was transgender (mtf), would that make me trisexual? or maybe omnisexual? ;)
