This post will cover overcoming difficulties. It may be my most personal entry here for a long time to come.

A lot of transgender people struggle with being misgendered, harassed, misunderstood and laughed at.  They often suffer from neurosis, depression, various anxieties and fears, lack of self-confidence and low self-esteem.  They come up against ostracism, violence and various kinds of daily abuse.

All of this in the name of being born in a way most people are not.

So you found this guy through an online dating site and go on your first date with him.  By the end of the night, you’re sure that he’s up for a second date.  But he doesn’t end up calling you and you wonder why.  Did you say anything wrong? Was he really that into you?

Don’t fret, girl. If you want to figure out if a guy really likes you, here are 5 signs that will help you find out if he’s interested in you:

Because the latter like to emphasize their femininity, whereas many ciswomen no longer do so?  Because men feel threatened by social changes or, on the contrary, they embrace the challenge of the traditional sex dichotomy?  Or maybe because they simply “like women with dicks. I like tits and I like dicks…  Something erotic about getting fucked by someone who is a woman.” (Men Who Have Sex with Transgender Women: Challenges to Category-based HIV Prevention) 

New Year is a good moment to start anew and at the very beginning, so I thought it’d be good to clear up some basics about such complex issues as sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
  First of all, they are separate, unrelated and completely different things.  Of course, one’s feelings is far more complex than it can be described in a short article, and the following sentences should only serve as an approximation of the topic.

One’s biological SEX depends on the combination of their chromosomes, genitals, gonads and sex hormones.  The binary nature of fertilization caused many cultures to believe that there are two sexes (males and females), but in reality, there are many ones in between (including intersex), depending on the particular combination of the abovementioned factors.

Today’s article will be a little more personal because I’m going to tackle what my fears are as a transgender woman in the world of transgender dating websites.  Please know that everything I’m writing here will be from my sole experience and things may or may not apply to you.  Don’t blame me if you find yourself wasting a minute or 2 because of this lol.
