Finding Love as a Trans Woman

<p>Throughout my life, I have gone through three significant evolutions of fear. My first fear was, as a child, being caught wearing my mother&rsquo;s clothes. I was. I was unpunished. The second was coming out to my then-wife. I did. I was punished. My current fear is dating.</p> <p>I didn&rsquo;t date. I saw no appeal in the various ways people date. The awkwardness of sitting opposite someone who, in their mind, is trying to notice all the tell-tale signs of my transsexuality is too much to bear.</p> <p>The fetishisation. The endless conversations about my vagina. The disbelief when I tell them that I don&rsquo;t have a penis.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/the-identity-current/finding-love-as-a-trans-woman-cdd9840c23a7"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
