Hi my name is Marcela, I’m a 39 y/o lesbian transwoman living in the UK. I’m married to my lovely wife and we’ve been mostly AO with each other for the last 8 years. I’m joining to share some silly experiences and maybe make some friends!
Welcome to the group. We look forward to your participation. My wife and I are addicted to Britbox and all the UK crime dramas. Better than the shit produced in the U.S. with the exception of a few like Breaking Bad.
Welcome Marcela! You are surely able to offer perspectives and experiences that are not yet otherwise – as far as I know – represented in this forum. I, for one, am very much interested in hearing your perspective and experiences.
What I think I know is that cis-gender folks, myself included, have very little understanding of the experiences and perspectives of trans folks – including the multiple self-descriptions of different trans folks – and that cis-gender folks likely make a lot of assumptions which are incorrect.
It does not feel appropriate for me to ask nosey questions, but to the extent you wish to participate, I am very interested in learning anything you wish to share.
Thanks a lot for the warm welcome. I can only expect for myself and my on experiences. Being medically trained I can also talk from the science side of things, t leas the parts I study about. But yes, there’s a lot of nuances, perspectives, troubles and tribulations.
Reactions vary wildly. From a big “meh, you do you” to a lot of prejudice. Depends a lot on where you are in the world, you socioeconomic background, family values, etc. It’s wild. I’m fortunate family was either supportive or didn’t give a damn. My friends were always amazing and kind. My workplace was like “why are always the different one?” and mildly annoyed with the paperwork they had to do regarding name change lol
My former employee had some Russian women working there. They marry, they take the hubby’s name. Then they divorce and return to their maiden name. To marry again 3 years later
We have another transwoman employee and when she opened up and asked to updated her name I was around and the admin people looked at me rolling their eyes jokingly and I just shrug and laughed. At least the trans sillines is fun
People of all stripes have differing opinions and views. I’m libertarian and believe activities that cause no harm to others should be nobody else’s business. Sex between two or more CONSENTING ADULTS is nobody’s business, nor the way one identifies.
The gay community refers to heterosexuals as “breeders”. Our lesbian neighbors jokingly said they enjoy hanging around with us “breeders”. If they knew we were anal only, they’d have to come up with another slur!
