"Do you find relationships difficult now that you're transgender?"

Asked by Anonymous

Uhm, it does add a certain tension, I’ll admit. I mean, I can walk down the street and people see me as a guy. I can go into a store and the staff won’t double think. But when I’m talking to girls, I assume I have to tell them, because I feel like it’s better to be honest about it first. I guess I just wanna give them ample time to back off; some girls don’t wanna be with a trans guy. It happens…unfortunately.
