I think you are doing the right thing. I am of the school that with an M/s relationship, you need to be absolutely certain of the other person, that they are worthy of trust and so forth, especially when you are literally giving up your current life and so forth and moving where you probably know no one, and so forth. It is one of the qualms I have with TPE relationships and so forth, where the sub literally turns over everything to the dominant, and if it goes wrong don't have much of a support base other than hoping the M or D is trustworthy and willing and able to help them if it goes south. The other factor here is related to your status as a transwoman, unfortunately there are people out there who have fetishized trans folk, not into people, but rather into this image, and the 'trans slave girl' is a pretty big one....in fiction and fantasy it is okay, but there are those out there who kind of look at trans folks as somehow natural subs to do with they want with, or not really people with feelings and so forth. I am talking partially from experience and from things I saw happen over the years and so forth. For a lot of trans girls, trying to find acceptance and so forth, some of them will do stupid things to get into a 'relationship', and forget not everyone is honest. This happens to people who have met face to face, have a relationship, when they think they know the people, meeting people in cyberland where fantasies rage is even more fraught. I wish you well, I think based on the little you posted you did the right thing:)
