Welcome to partners_of_ftm!

This is a place for former, future, and current partners of FTMs. Whatever your gender or sexual identification - whether you're gay, straight, bi, pansexual, butch, femme, androgynous, nongendered, other gendered, or even trans yourself - if you were, are, or plan to be partnered to an FTM, this is the place for you. It was created because although there are a number of transgender-specific forums, several of which are geared towards partners, often we are lumped together with people whose experiences don't have a lot in common with ours. Partners_of_ftm is a place where we can deal with some of the issues that only FTMs and their partners deal with.

This forum is designed for personal, rather than political, discussion. Clearly there will be a lot of overlap, but basically, anyone from anywhere on the political spectrum should feel totally welcome here. Really, you can write about whatever the hell you want, as long as you do so respectfully. Also, because I am nineteen, this community may have a more "youth-oriented" flavor, depending on who's interested. Of course, there's no age range - as I said before, anyone can join.

This community is a positive space. While we all deal with difficult issues, this is a place for support, and hopefully will maintain a positive atmosphere.

When you join, it'd be great if you could post a short introduction (your name, where you're from, why you're joining, your favorite food, what color underwear you're wearing...Kidding! Just the basics are fine.)
