I'm sorry @LornaKay, I don't quite follow something you said.

Are you transitioning M to F, or F to M ?

I'm sorry you went through this with your former partners.

Some people seem to be able to be far more relaxed about physical relationships. I was with the same person for over 20 years. I'm terrified of having a physical relationship. I'm scared of being rejected, or rejecting someone and hurting them. For some of us, that level of physical intimacy is intimidating.

I'd like to be with someone, but ultimately decided being on my own for a good long stretch, maybe permanently, is the safer and healthier choice for me.

And you know what?? Those tool bags who were cutting you down can go pound sand! Eff that! Seriously! Respect the privacy and the intimacy of your partner! What a bunch of potholes they are! Moving and putting that BS in your rear view mirror is a good thing.

Imma hug you now 🤗
