With a side of: Gender

With a side of: Gender

So I know I don't have very many readers at the moment but if you don't personally know me, this may be a little weird (and if you do know me but don't know this, it will probably still be weird).

*coughs*

You may have an idea as to what I'm talking about here. In my previous posts, you may have noticed I always say "Babe". Never husband. There's a reason for this. I don't really have a husband, per say. I am married. I married a man, yes. But my wife is transgendered. If you're not sure what that means, check here. (Wiki is very clinical about this stuff, YouTube has some awesome stuff if you look.) If you don't feel like clicking either, here's a quick, very vague description. Born a man, feel like woman in the head. Got it? Ok. It's way more than just that.
Anywho, she came out to me about a year ago (and to her facebook about a month ago). I was pretty confused in the beginning, which is understandable. It's different for me than for her (obviously). If I post about trans stuff, it's going to be from my point of view (if you're interested in seeing hers, here's her blog).
So, meet Olivia, my wife (or Wifu as we call each other lol).

Here's some Q&A's I've been asked lately:

Wait, I thought you were straight?
If I were to be honest, I'm probably more pansexual than anything. I'm attracted to pretty much any sex/gender.
But he won't have a penis any more.
There are more things to do in bed than penis in vagina. If that's all you think, I pity you, I really do.
Okay but won't he like men later?
Liv is very much only sexually attracted to women. As I am, in fact, a woman, I don't think there will be a woman.
But Goo won't have a father any more! He'll have two mothers!
GASP! A same gender couple raising a child?! What has the world come to?! *sarcasm* Goo will still have two parents who love him and care for him. He probably won't even notice until he has someone points it out to him that there's something odd there.

Are you sure you're okay with this?

To be completely honest, it still freaks me out sometimes. But, I find myself falling more in love with Olivia everyday as she becomes more open with herself. I know it will be hard, but I'm there for her and she's here for me. I wouldn't have it any other way. If there's something on my mind, I can talk to her about it and not have to worry. The opposite is also true. I'm here if she needs to talk.

So...

Does gender define us? Probably. Does sex? Depends on who you ask. I find myself coming more in tune with my gender as she does. I came from a family that isn't very comfortable with the female body (sorry Mum, but you're not). In my mind, it doesn't matter what you identify as. Others don't think so but that view is slowly changing.
Not sure what else to write... I could go on about my thoughts on this for a while but they tend to be quite circular. Have any questions? Feel free to ask Liv or I. If you want to know something, we're quite open about stuff. :)

Thank for reading, until next time!
