Let's talk about sex, though 'sex' might not be entirely accurate (since I never have any of it). Specifically, I'd like to talk about how sex and relationships have worked in my experience as a trans woman. There are a couple of things I've been asked, or heard, that pertain to sex and my transition - so I thought I'd answer them here.
I was going to write a blog post about this, but instead I made a YouTube video. Here are some of the things I talk about:
"Have you had the surgery yet?" If the answer is no, the person typically moves on. So you're attractive enough to fuck, but really, you're just a penis - since apparently that's all that matters.
"I respect trans people for being true to themselves - but I could never be with one"
"Why don't you check out a gay dating site like grindr?" You know, because you're still really a man.
And here's the video itself:

- Hi, I'm Danielle (a writer, digital marketer, casual runner, and whatever other labels you want to pick and choose from). I have a sneaking suspicion that it'll be a while until I publish my first best seller, so in the meantime, here are my thoughts on everything.
