Hi there,
My partner and I are both gender fluid individuals and have found much love and acceptance in each others company. personally I have gone through the questioning of transitioning from female to male and after having a breast reduction found that I was quite comfortable with my female form and have decided that the body I have now is just fine with me.
my partner, shortly after we started to date, began to reveal some things about himself; he loves anal sex and loves to have sex with men but does not like to have relationships with men; he likes to cross dress but still feels that he wants to remain a man; He has tried being gay but found it wasn't satisfying for him; He has thought about transitioning but had come to the conclusion that he really like his body the way it was. As time has gone on (we have been living together for over a year and a half now), he has become more comfortable with himself he has fallen into himself more steadily which has been a truly beautiful thing to witness. He has become comfortable wearing women's clothing in public and has largely found acceptance from our community and friends.
At this point he still seems adamant that he does not want to transition but has recently begun wearing false breasts and has started talking about breast implants and the possibility of going on HRT. In my many years of being involved in the LGBT community I have never come across somebody who chose to get breast augmentation (and possibly HRT) but not transition all the way. Neither of us having experienced this process ourselves I am left feeling slightly apprehensive and nervous about the process. I wonder if anybody else out there has gone through this process and wonder what your experiences have been in regards to safety while traveling; HRT and it's effects on mood, personality, sexuality, and hobbies; or any issues you may have had in your day to day lives.
We have talked a lot about all of this and although I have expressed my concerns our conversations have not always clearly shed light on them and I do not want my confusion about the situation to limit him in his expression of himself.
Thank you all for listening
