Some interesting questions from a Woman
|
Some interesting questions from a Woman Last night I had a most interesting conversation on this site. I was checking Messages when I received an IM from a woman in Italy who spoke very good English. There was only one picture in her Profile and that picture clearly showed a Female body (with her face) so I must assume this was a Generic Female Right away she indicated she was very curious about Transexuals, not for sex but rather she was intellectually curious. Her questions again prove to me how little is known by the average person about Transsexuals. I’m not singling out or being critical of this woman, or Italians or anyone else for that matter about the misconceptions surrounding Gender Reassignment, with or without surgery. I can’t remember all the conversation but some of it was still in my mind this morning. Most of her questions were pretty basic and to the point. Please allow me to list some of this Q & A. Do I have a Vagina? No, I still have my Penis. Is it Functional? Somewhat, but smaller now (due to Hormones) and less often Erect (also due to Estrogen). How do I have sex? Brief answer here, Anally and/or Orally Do I still have Orgasms. Yes, I do, with or without stimulating my Penis Do I masturbate? Not when alone, maybe during sex with someone Do I have sex with men or other Transexuals? Both, but I prefer men How often do I dress as a woman? In my case, all the time, everyday but I explained to her the difference between a Cross Dresser/Transvestite and a Full Time Transexual. She had the misconception they were all the same. Do I have real Breasts or Implants? I explained the effects of Hormone Reassignment Therapy and that I consider my Breasts as Real. Why am I a Transexual? This can not be answered with a short IM. I only mentioned that I had a Physical as well as Emotional desire for Feminization. Do I or will I go back to being a man? No, I’ve come too far on this path to ever turn back Do I have a lot of Sex? I won’t go in to my full answer to her in detail here but only to say I have a Partner, my Boyfriend, and Sex is an important part of our Relationship. She said she had thought Sex was the only reason why I, and others like me, had become women. I agin try to explain to her that sex was important to me, but not the only reason I Transitioned. I mention to her that there are also Women who Transition to being a Male. Her reaction was something I remember quite well, “What?” She have never heard of this and was completely amazed. So, I am just telling you that Transsexualism is little understood outside those who pursue it, are attracted to it or are Bi-Curious. It is very complex subject and one that can not be explained in a two hour IM discussion. I mentioned to her some other web sites that may help her understanding. Whether she takes the time to learn more is something I can’t be sure of. I can only say, I tried to help her understand who I am, and I am only one of the millions of Functional, Responsible Transsexuals in the world today. Jan |
