I need to educate myself. First time dating CD.

Let's see how long this relationship lasts.
The problem is that a lot of women say they are accepting etc but eventually they decide they want a normal life and the fact that their B/F dresses up or wants to become a woman doesn't fit into the picture.

Well that's not very supportive, I'm genuine in saying that sexual orientation or characteristics or personality traits really have never mattered to me. I know that already. I'm just wondering if I should prepare myself for more changed. I need education. I can read all I want but I was looking to people that understand the experience first hand.

And I'm kind of wondering if this will lead to him wanting to actually become a woman. When my gf transitioned it wasn't hard because of my lifestyle... I would have stayed with her no matter what. But the transition completely changed who I had fallen in love with. And I'm afraid of that happening again. That's all. If you want to bark out the "reality" of it, you could at least try and be helpful. I am a huge supporter of the trans community and have been heavily involved with my ex's transition and we remain very close. You shouldn't be so quick to pass judgement when I'm sure you don't like people judging you.

Thank you!! I look forward to chatting with you. I really just need people to talk to so that I'm not all up in my own head... I look forward to my journey with him, whether it be rocky or not. I've been in a very eclectic variety of relationships and believe me they all came with their own sets of querks. Its never easy. And you're right, I fell in love with him. All of him. I'm open to new experiences, I just don't want to lose the man I initially fell in love with either.
