Hi SAK In my experience the likes of us had best, I'm sorry to say, be prepared to be disappointed, even in what is a more broadminded field like bdsm by comparison with the everyday world. Yes, most will tolerate us and many will even accept us socially - but the whole romantic / erotic / sexual thing is where the numbers fall away to a very few indeed, of those who are OK with us. This isnt nastiness - its simply preference, and our problem is that whether or not we're accepted socially as female, it is rare to find anyone who accepts us sexually as well - and of those, even fewer who would consider a relationship rather than a casual fling. Because when it comes down to the sexual sphere, for most we're not really male and we're not really female - and this makes the whole sexuality thing difficult. For a het male - we will always be another male For a homosexual male - we will always be a female For a bisexual male - we will be neither or both, when he wants one or the other Similar applies to potential female partners a het female sees us as another female a lesbian female sees us as a male and a bisexual female sees us as neither or both when she wants one or the other This isnt to say that its impossible to find a partner of course - but the odds are certainly well stacked against us. From what I've seen its far more usual for the likes of us to get together with others of similar backgrounds than to find us with more everyday partners. E
