[Serious] That Trans Thread

[Jehanne]

As a transgender female, I would never consider sexual reassignment surgery, but, that's just me and my choice in the matter.

Could you possibly expand upon this? You don't have to if you don't wish.

I'm just curious because wouldn't maintaining the genitals of the opposite gender with which you identify be a mental issue?

The LGBTQ+ movement wisely chose a rainbow for a reason.  As I sometimes tell people, "I consider myself 70% female, 20% male and 10% guilt" (or, in other words, "20% male, 80% female").

For one, I have been married to a biological woman for 25 years, whom I do very much love and care for!!  We have 5 children, 3 of which are adults and 2 that are not.  As I have posted before, all of my kiddos were conceived while I was on my back.  It's just the way that I am and the way that I have been for nearly 40 years!  (My last successful orgasm "as a man" was in my teens.)  And, I have been "cross dressing" now for 50 years, having begun wearing "women's clothes" around age 5 (first, my mother's, then sister's, her friend's, then my girlfriend's, and, then, my wife's, before, finally, "coming out" and buying my own "women's clothing".)  I guess that I have always felt feminine and womanly, and when I started growing my hair out in my little conservative fundamentalist Christian community in the 80s (the "Welcome wagon" packet that my mother received in the mail had a "Turn or burn" pamphlet in it), I was mocked and ridiculed by others (including some of my teachers), and was told repeatedly that LGBTQ+ folks (the acronym had not yet been coined) were destined to burn in eternal Hell, for which I suffered over a decade of night terrors (and, I mean night terrors and not just nightmares).

In spite of this aspect of my humanity, I have just not felt the need to part with my penis.  For starters, I love my wife and do not wish to part with that aspect of our intimacy, and besides, I have decided for myself that I will, during my life, be married one and only one time, no matter the circumstances.  And, so, my first marriage will be my last, and while I consider the prospect of vaginal sex to be interesting, such will never, ever be a path that I would venture down.  And, besides, being a biological male has certainly dampened any desire to be married to one, even as a transsexual woman.  Sorry, being exposed to them throughout my life has endeared me to the way that many biological women feel about them, and I do not wish to be married or even intimate with one.  Given the choice (if it ever came to such, and, it would not), I would rather have sex with a lesbian.
