Has anyone out there had any type of a relationship with a T-girl. Pre or post-op. I know this may not be the forum 4 this, but I'd like to shed some light on this subject.

I've been in a relationship with a post-op girl for a couple years now. Actually, I hate refering to t-girls are pre or post-op. They are human beings just like everyone else. It's amazing that in this day in age there is still so much discrimination and hatred out there. Which brings me to my current situation. I've been dating this lady who is post-op for a couple years now and we met through this business. We sort of connected and became friends first and our relationship developed into a more romantic one over time. Everyday has been better than the next. She quit the business a little more than a year ago. Well, she didn't tell me she was post-op until a couple months into the relationship. I had suspected it, but wasn't sure as she is very passable. But some of her friends are definitely not passable. Big deal, but it aroused my suspicions.  Well, she told me one night and I was immediately shocked, but that didn't matter cuz I has gotten to know a great person regardless of gender. We continued our relationship, but over a period of time, you meet each others family and friends and this is where it gets tough. You find out who you true friends are and which family members will stand by you. Well, this sort of happened in a bad way for me with my family a few months ago.  My father question me about my GF's gender at a family birthday party, but not in front of her. She brought one of her not so passable friends with her this day. No big deal, just her friend. I told him that I would talk to him later about it. Well, he had a couple drinks and wanted to talk right then and there. I said ok fine and told him. He went nuts and kicked us out of his home, my home I grew up in. Since then we only speak through other family members. In the end, the only family that I do have are my grandparents who are completely supportive of our situation. Which is surprising cuz they are very traditional. My mother is also Some of my friends also know and I've lost a few because of it, but the one's that could care less and have been there are the ones who are my true friends.
I think that if you are in love with a human being it doesn't matter which gender, race, religion, background they are. With love all that doesn't matter.
