"Like a woman"

[ErinSassyPants]

I think it could depend on where you fall on the TG spectrum.
If you grow up as a man it's heavily enforced that you should be the dominant partner but this may get a bit skewed if you're not interested or have negative feelings towards your parts.

Instead of dominant and submissive you could always go with top and bottom, I mean, you'd have to be okay with the gay but that's a bit less discriminatory and assumes both partners are equals.

Personally I'm not wired to be a top, I just wouldn't know how nor do I have any interest in learning but like everything else it could change.
I just don't feel comfortable with the idea, of course it may have nothing to do with being trans and I was just going to be a bottom regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation.

Take that with a grain of salt though since I've not been with either, it's all just theory to me at this point.
An interesting one though but it certainly helps me open up and explore more by discussion.

I'm sure where you fall affects your perspective on quite a bit about gender roles.

The thing is, that top and dominant don't mean the same thing. Same with bottom and submissive. It is the point of dominance and submission that it not be egalitarian.

My theory is that gender, sexual orientation and dom/sub are all separate dices thrown in how we are wired. Of course they have to be those fancy dices with lots of numbers because all of those are continuums. So I think if you are wired to be a bottom, or a top or dominant or submissive then that is how you are wired separately from the other dice.

It's going to be so fun to find out what you think of all this once you get to the test drive part of your life(o:

I definitely prefer "top" and "bottom" words, even in a heterosexual relationship. My wife's definitely a bottom. And I'm definitely a top. And removing the dom/sub definitions gives us more flexibility in describing ourselves as sex partners.

Totally makes sense, I bet you prefer the words because they more closely describe your roles.

Edited to add
I just saw more posts above these.

Leona, I think that will be an awesome discussion!

Emma500, It's the "like a female in every way" that I'm asking people to describe. That description doesn't mean anything, it doesn't tell me anything. What does it mean to you when you say that?
