Thank You for your response! Your kindness and consideration toward your girlfriend are very touching. I did have a partner who saw me the same way. She met me prior to my transition and saw Genivieve inside me from the start. She transitioned with me and we were together 3 very happy years. Unfortunately alcohol took her from me.
I wish I could be so transparent with my boyfriend, but he is very attached to my current incarnation and doesn’t want anything to fog that vision.
I understand how a man needs a bit of mystery and illusion for the magic of physical attraction to work. I don’t begrudge him that need, because his attraction benefits us both.
