Today, i walked into the bathroom and saw my beautiful girlfriend of 9 months shaving her face. Seeing my shocking reflection she says “Honey, we need to talk”. She proceeds to tell me that she was born a man and had a full sex change the year before she met me. Yes, we’ve had sex. FML

Dear followers,

If you were caught in this situation what would you do?

If I was a straight man here, I’d probably be disgusted, within reason. Being bisexual, I’d just be super pissed off that she didn’t tell me. I’m not sure how I’d deal with it. I’d feel lied to.

Uhhh, no.  If you have been given a full sex change, you are way past the point of shaving.  Transsexuals are administered hormones of the sex that they want to become, and also hormone blocking agents to block the hormones that they currently have.  No testosterone and lots of estrogen equals no more facial hair.  Sorry, honey, try sending this to failblog instead.

Only half true.  Transwomen have electrolysis and laser hair removal to get rid of hair in areas that ciswomen don’t have any.  Estrogen doesn’t get rid of the hair entirely, it simply makes it more downy.  So a transwomen who’s had hormone therapy but no hair removal treatments would have a very soft beard.

Either way, by the time a woman gets to the point where she’s had lower surgery and sexual partners don’t know her trans history she’s had laser/electro.  It’s a prerequisite for quite a few surgeons and expected by all the others.  It’s also amongst the first things most transwomen do simply because it’s the cheapest and requires no therapy.

    I’d ask what kind of crack she was on. By the time a transwoman is able to have lower surgery she’s almost guaranteed to...
