We don’t know if we are doing the right thing……………..
But me and my husband thinks this should be the best way for him and for us…………..

… if I show intimacy interest towards a transsexual woman?
Under social norms, if a guy is straight, it means he’s attracted to WOMEN. This means that he might be attracted to a “transwoman” (male-to-female: born male but transitioned to female) as well, since a transwoman is essentially just a woman after she’s undergone all the surgery and hormones.
So if a straight man was attracted to a woman who was once a man, he would still be straight.
If you’re a gay man, that means you want to stay as a man and you’re attracted to someone who is a man! If you’re a gay woman, then you want to stay as a woman and you’re attracted to another woman!
So please… being a transsexual woman is nothing gay. Having a relationship with a transsexual woman is nothing gay too.
