I have recently started dating this guy that I've know for years now. Our relationship blossomed very quickly and things were amazing. Recently he shared with me that years ago he would dress as a woman. In the moment I was supportive and happy he was comfortable enough to share with me. But the next day it sunk in that maybe he won't want to be with me if he decides to become her again. I didn't handle it very well and he was upset when I expressed my feelings. He felt like I wasn't accepting. I'm not sure if he is transgender and it's something he's been hiding away or if it was just something he enjoyed doing. He won't talk to me about it now since I've expressed my worries. He regrets telling me and is very upset about the way I handled it. I don't know what to do. It's ruining us. He's so angry with me and refuses to discuss it at all. I'm so upset over it all. I love him and want him to know it's okay to talk to me about this. But I think I've ruined my chance for that. Please help, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
term of description for a certain type of individual or lifestyle. In all actuality, Transgender
is a umbrella with different levels or types of trans- people. type 1 the heterosexual
occasional crossdresser. Type 2 the gay man crossdresser or drag queen performer.
type 3 the male that lives full time as a woman has had hormones and counseling gone
through the real life test, but doesn't want surgery. Then finally, type 4 individuals who
are so uncomfortable the role that their born with , they go all the way with corrective
surgery. Male to Female , or Female to Male. Without knowing more about your significant other, I would say at a glance an occasional heterosexual crossdresser.
Transgenderism is something a person born that way learns to live with. It doesn't mean
it will hamper or destroy a relationship. Until people learn to look beyond a persons sexual orientation, and realize that there are many sides to a person , both the masculine
and the feminine, transgenderism will remain a challenge both for the transgender and the family or friends involved.
