#transmanpartner

Hey, I wanted to get you both sides of a relationship between a cis person and a trans person, so I first asked my partner Will (journeyintomanhood.tumblr.com) what he thought: "I would say the sooner the better, because if you are wanting a future with someone they’re going to need to know. That being said, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with just casually dating and getting to know someone for a while and not telling them. You have to weigh any dysphoria you may have, especially if you are getting physical with someone - you want to be comfortable enough to fully explain how you are feeling. Whatever is feeling right to you is probably the right time, as unhelpful as that is." From my own partner POV, I think that if you’re just dating casually it’s okay to just do what makes you feel safest and most comfortable. I think if you want something long term, though, telling them early on will be better. That being said - again, you are not obligated to just tell someone straight up the first time you hang out if you don’t feel comfortable doing so! I strongly believe that partners need to earn their other partners’ trust. 

I surely will. Thanks for the heads up.

Edit:

Today marks Aiden's six weeks on testosterone! Nothing new has really changed, he is still hungry and horny as ever. His hips have shrunk a little bit, which is good. His voice has very slightly dropped, just noticed this morning actually, he has grown, a lot, in an other area if you know what I mean, still slighty emotional on his part, which again is weird since T is supposed to have the opposite effect, but I think his body is still getting used to it.

While at the doctors office today I tried to give Aiden his shot......didnt work out so well. I had everything prepped, swabbed his ass and was about to stick the needle in, and couldnt do it. (Kind of freaked out, the needle is SO BIG) plus it was his left side which hurts more, so I was afraid of hurting him even more. So I definatly need to practice at home with the needles the nurse gave me. I plan on stabbing a tomato or something, just to get used to stabbing part.
