Hey comrades! I’m seanchai (pronounced shawn-a-key, it’s a traditional Irish storyteller).
I’m a thirty year old trans lesbian currently living on Turtle Island. Hope for us to have some great discussions here, but for now here’s a song by one of my favourite artists, Devi McCallion, performing here as Girls Rituals.
We’re all living in a transworld, you can’t do fucking shit about it <3
I guess Dank might have been thinking you meant T4T, that would compound the adjectives into a single thing right?
I wouldn’t really say so, t4t is still a sexuality thing, and I personally wouldn’t really use that to describe myself. I don’t date men, trans or otherwise, and I do date cis women, so that’s why I use lesbian.
That being said, t4t relationships can be easier in a lot of ways, where other trans people have similar experiences, and are more likely to understand and be comfortable with you. There’s also less time spent unpacking cisnormativity in t4t relationships, which can take a a lot of extra emotional burden off.
Yeah, I know - I’m t4t and lesbian. Another potential reason (and one that initially informed my position) is that some cis lesbians can be rather terfy. At least, I have encountered quite some >.<
