<p>Surgery helped. Hell, transition as a whole helped. Being a girl has helped. Sure, it might be nice to be the penetrating partner, but I also dearly love being penetrated, and this has added that to my life.</p>
<p>Talking and thinking about it has helped. I spend a lot of time working on this, because even if I can’t become a sexual person, becoming more comfortable with being an asexual person would be a good thing.</p>
<p>Even kink has helped, as mentioned. As has typefucking. I’ve started interacting more as Makyo lately, as an explicitly transgender character, as someone so very like myself. I’ll never be able to have anything other than complicated and weird trans sex as a complicated and weird trans woman, and so doing so intentionally, owning the less-than-ideal realities of my body and mind in a place where it’s so easy to take part in the ideal feels like a healthy step forward.</p>
<p>Late bloomer that you are, you’re learning that all of the less-than-ideal aspects of sex are a part of the whole experience, and that you can still have fun despite them.</p>
<p>Yes. Let me own the lube and the awkward positions. Let me own the wet spots and the performance anxiety. Let me own my weird-as-hell body. And then let me own sexuality. I would be plenty happy with that.</p>
<p>No, I’m not unhappy. I’m happy with this, really. I’m happy with fantasy and art and TS. I’m happy with verbal teasing and masturbation.</p>
<p>The only bit I’m really unhappy about is that it keeps me from making others happy.</p>
