Fascinating Article on Trans Amourous Men

On vice.com.

By "trans amourous men" here is meant: men who are attracted (romantically and/or sexually) to transwomen. The article talks about the discrimination, and outright hostility, such men face, and how that can make it difficult for transwomen to find fulfilling relationships: especially transwomen who haven't had bottom surgery.

Terrific Article, "My Life Without Gender", by Tyler Ford

In the Guardian.

What totally resonated with me was Tyler's comment that it was well into their life before they realized that there was even an option of not being identified as either male or female. I am pretty sure I lost a lot of valuable time for that same reason. I always knew I wasn't male, but I didn't really feel quite female, either, so that made it seem as if I really did have to be male. Back and forth, back and forth.

What a treat to be able to get off that see-saw and just be me.
