Are We an Ignored Minority?

With each individual person "coming out" eventually attitudes changed and more people were safe in being honest and so on and so on.

Quite true!!

And I think it's worth noting that it may be considerably easier to come out as a transwoman lover, due to the simple fact that the average straight guy usually finds them somewhat attractive.

With several friends I told, I showed them a few pics and once they confirmed they'd 'Do That' I informed them that is was a transwoman. That kind of made it hard for them to make a smart assed comment. :D

I personally think that ladyboy lovers could be better described as "bi", rather "straight" or "homosexual". Or maybe "bi+"?
And I don't think we are any minority at all. Or at least we shouldn't feel and behave this way. We're as normal as any other people, so let's put all those hesitations aside. We just like beauty and that's not our fault if sometimes LBs are prettier than "natural" girls, especially those in Asia!
Well, that's how I think. Any suggestions?

Hi there.

Beeing ignored is not always a bad thing.

Hi there.

To NewDude.

Hey, you are in a relationship with her, she has feelings which you respect great, but what about your feelings, they may burden her a bit but they seem to burden you somewhat more, and communication is a very important part of any relationship, wheather it is positive or not, you support her, i have no doubt that she can sopport you also, so be true to yourself, and believe in her, and in the end i think you'll have a stronger relationship.

When there are things that need to be said, it absolutely is.

I wonder whether we need labels simply to explain and justify ourselves to a misunderstanding, sometimes hostile world.

My girlfriend is a pre-op TS, but to me she's just Agatha, my girlfriend, who I love dearly. I just sometimes wish that we could ignore the rest of the world and its prejudices.

The term you're looking for is polysexual/multisexual meaning you're attracted to multiple genders but not all.

In public I use the 'bi' label. I'm completely out about my sexual preference and being bi certainly helps- as if most people expect bi's to be attracted to transgenders. Frankly coming out is a bit of a double edge sword as the girls I date tend to live in stealth.
