I don't think there's any difference - the same mechanisms seem to rule relationships no matter what gender or orientation.

Ofcourse, there may be certain typical pitfalls like the ones we have heard about from Bionca among others. And mostly these seem to come from some degree of uncertainty in the guy - maybe his attraction was actually just a sexual fascination, maybe he wants children at some point, maybe the external pressure becomes too overwhelming etc.

Alpha omega is the inter personal attraction and sympathy. I admit that I do certainly consider it an extremely important quality in a woman that she's transsexual, however, that's fundamental. On top of that comes all the individual virtues that form a person.

All best wishes to you and your girlfriend.
