Just be proud and strong and you'll see that you will eventually be met with respect once the prudes realize that you cannot be changed.
They'll actually learn a thing or three... maybe...
So don't put much thought into what the prudes have to say. Just smile at them, ridicule them a bit and if they don't get the point, then leave them and go home to your wonderful trans*woman and laugh it out with her. Together with her your strenght is a 1000-fold! Mine is!

Thanks H,
I know exactly what you mean, though it took a while to get to that point. I'm very happy and comfortable in a relationship also, despite the odd awkward situation.
I also agree that transwomen go through a lot more than we have to, but I still think it's a good thing for us to both understand ourselves and our obstacles and how to overcome them. And it would help if the wider community had a more respectful understanding.
