I haven't posted in this forum for a while, but I kind of want somewhere neutral where I can discuss the issues I'm having with my sexuality. If this isn't a good place just let me know and I'll find somewhere else.

Fire away.

You may get some odd advice/answers though.

Hold on, let me get a cigarette. If you keep it G rated, I doubt anyone will complain.

Yes ask in a psychology / mental health forum, talk with a counselor or a psychologist, and you can read all about personal topics at the following web site...

Home - Embarrassing Problems

Note: I've noticed there are "less mature" replies in "relationships forums", might want to avoid asking there.

If you have thick skin, the forums are the way to go but otherwise I would stick with a more one on one. People tend to be very rude and you get a lot of kiddies who think they are amusing when they truly aren't. "Sexuality" is sort of a wide subject anymore.

As souls with bodies we must lend an ear to other souls without being judgemental or condescending. Even the universal consciousness that many of us locally refer to as their god in their vernaculars doesn't judge. Its all but a learning journey. So go ahead. Hope you get some input that helps you.

Ok here goes...

I am a trans female, currently in her 2nd year of transition. As far as that goes, I am okay. I am back in my home country and getting what I need.

My concern: my sexuality. I have dated both guys and girls, but I cannot decide which I like best and it creates problems. I feel way more comfortable with women, especially when it comes to intimacy. I identity as a lesbian as it's just easier as I still don't see myself with a guy long term.

But the fluctuation is the problem. I am very faithful, but I find myself wanting to be with the other sex sometimes. I actually just broke up with my GF partly over this issue and she could t stand the fact that I also like guys.

I have dated all sorts of people, including another transgender woman and I currently have a crush on a transgender man.

So my sexuality is all over the place and I can't make sense of it. I am. Just open to loving a large spectrum of people no matter what sex or gender identity.

My therapist wasn't much help. He still seems to think I'm a straight girl that can't accept that she likes men ('not true)

Can anyone else relate? You don't have to be trans ...this is about sexuality after all.

Thank you for reading.

Maybe just give yourself time to not date, just take time to be with yourself, get to know who you are. Especially with this huge transition.

I think you are putting too much pressure on yourself to figure it all out now. I think right now is to just focus on this one big change, embracing your changes.

You might find you are always bisexual. You might find you fall in love and are willing to give up all, including the other sex. Or not. But you don't have to figure it out now.
