Dealing with relationships is a difficult thing because they are constantly plagued by complex issues including jealousy, too little communication and minor disagreements. And some relationships have unique challenges attached to them. Being with an FTM transgender guy is such a relationship. Here are a few tips to help you develop a healthy relationship with someone who is interested in FTM trans guy.
FTM transgender guys are different
Although it may sound cliche, it's also worth noting that transgender men aren't all the same as everyone else. As a matter of fact, they all come from different backgrounds in terms of culture, religion, race, etc. Beyond that, their transition period is also different. It's important to keep in mind this because it will help you understand them personally. Also, it's crutial to note that transgender guys have the same romantic, social and sexual needs as everyone else. However, their needs may differ from those of previous cis men you have dated.
Others may have a different view of your relationship
One particular challenge of dating a transgender man is that people will make assumptions about your relationship. Because you're dating a transgender man, some people will think you're gay. Even if you don't admit it, your family and friends will secretly think you're gay. Being labeled gay by your partner's gender identity seems unfair and cruel. Still, you should anticipate some confusion and learn how to deal with intolerance.
Be ready to support your transgender guy
Trans transition is not a walk in the park. To make matters worse, some transgender people don't get support when they propose to change gender. Even their family and friends may be cold to them. So it's important to support your transgender partner. Transgender men have always faced the challenge of creating a strong male image. It is very helpful to praise his manhood to cultivate his masculinity. Also, if your man has any physical problems, be sure to support him. If he wants to wear clothes during sex, don't force him. Over time you can find a slow but loving way to get him to take off his clothes. If you act comfortable with his body, he will start to feel comfortable with his body, too.
Make him feel comfortable
It's important to communicate when dating a transgender guy. Be sure to ask about his physical and sexual needs and make sure you find out what excites him. By doing this, you will help him feel comfortable. It is worth mentioning that some transgender guys may not like to have physical contact with women, and some parts of women's body may make them feel uncomfortable. So, to make sure you both can feel comfortable, you can discuss these things directly.
