First, let me say your, "Story", sounds like something out of a CD fantasy novel. Maybe, only because u haven't put enuff of your personal feelings in there for me to identify with? When I started, I had plenty of conflicting issues to work thru! Still do, 17 years later. U haven't mentioned even one! Unless u count the obvious one that would likely come up with your SO?
Because I'm much like the man in your story. A straight man with NO gender issues until I reached my 50's and tried on ladies things for the first time. Before then, it never even occurred to me to try them on. Altho, I had plenty of opportunities.
