As an old bi-boy, let me say that I don’t understand how you’re not being hit on all the time. How can someone as attractive as you, boy/girl/other be “invisible”? I’m a San Franciscan by ossmosis, and long ago I just figured it was easier to say, “Fine, whatever, take off your clothes and surprise me.”

Dear Trans Guy,

Thank you for your comment, but rest assured my intentions are selfish and not under the assumption on how it must be to live your life.

The videos and my articles come from two places, firstly to HEAL as what I write about is either something I am going through personally or someone I love is dealing with. Secondly, it is to CONNECT with my community and find solace in knowing that I am not alone and that there is a way for me to connect with others.

I apoligize if I offended you but I love learning and experience challenges in life so that I never take for granted who I am and where I am. As for me keeping the “label” lesbian, well that is part of my identity one I was not prepared to seperate myself with as that is something I have waited a long time to express openly.

Thank you for your interest and a new perspective in the reading.

Have a good one and I hope you stop by again.

Alex

This post keeps referring to “lesbian transgender,” but your descriptions and the videos really suggest that you were presenting as you think a trans MAN might present. While there are a number of trans men and trans male spectrum people who do have lesbian as part of their identity, there are a great many who do not. Just speaking personally, I don’t consider myself a lesbian.

Perhaps even more important, defining “lesbian transgender” to mean trans MEN erases and excludes the many trans lesbian women who are part of LGBTQ communities, which is something that’s been a huge problem for decades. (E.g., the purges of lesbian-feminist communities in the 1970′s of trans women.)

Also, I am always left feeling odd and uncomfortable with these “trans for a day” exposes. Binding your chest doesn’t mean you know what my life is like now. Also, why is it not good enough for trans people to tell their own stories? Why couldn’t this post’ space have been given to an actual trans lesbian to do a guest post, so that she could speak about her real lived experiences in queer communities, if one wanted to cover the issue?

I do recognize that the intention was good here, but I do feel that this post misses the mark of truly respecting trans people and our experiences.

WOW! That was like totally awesome. Ok first of all you’re like totally cute, and your face pretty much says I’m either female or a guy with an EXTREMELY femme face. Apparently guys can tell much better then girls can, lols! Anyway as a finishing thought, I love my vagina too XD

I really enjoyed reading yur blog. And yu are right, transgender get descriminated not only by society as a whole, but by the gay community as well. I think that there are people who feel uncomfortable in their bodies and yet they stay in them because they fear becoming outcastd even more.

More awareness is needed. Great blog!
