I think one of the hardest things to deal with is how women still see you as a guy. We want to be friends. We want to be invited to the bachelorette parties and girls night out, but in the end they still see us as a guy and after only one thing.
I have had my wife tell me many times how different women took my being friendly to them as me coming on to them. I didn't want to have sex with them. I wanted a real female relationship and it just isn't possible sometimes. It is the most frustrating part of being TG. We are just not understood. The male stereotypes still shine through.
I have had some of these relationships but they don't last. The new boyfriend sees me as a threat and off I go. This part really s**ks.
