It’s often hard bring straight and trans when “LGBTQ” usually gears towards same-sex issues. Even while I’m post-op, though, I support my LGB friends, as their rights for marriage equality, while secured for now, will constantly be under threat for the foreseeable future.

For 15 years I’ve identified as a lesbian, and since 2014 I’ve identified as a trans man. My name change is legal; my medical transition complete; I am legally male in the eyes of the law. However I date, even though I am attracted to women, my relationships will always be somehow “queer”, as I am a man with a vagina.
