Edit : just realized I posted this from my alt account by accident. I'm tired underslept and feeling all giddy, yet making mistakes So I apologize if I need more karma or something.
I just started dating someone who is a close relative of one of my favorite "famous " people growing up . By famous I mean, in the niche circles I was in this guy is pretty big .
He is everything you'd think someone related to such a cool chill dude would be like .
I'm about 1.5 weeks post srs. He's just super awesome and not chasery at all. Not creepy, he says he's demi and likes to take things slow and form an emotional connection amd he's seeking a life partner. Definitely not remotely transphobic . Just good positive vibes all around.
He's very respectful and understanding of the fact I just had surgery. No weird intrusive questions or anything , and really wants to get to know me on a deeper level, he even said that he's willing to come hang out with me by my bedside and have a takeout date , but assured me that he understands if I need space to recover and is willing to wait because he likes me, as in what's inside emotionaly , not my body or whatever parts I have . It's so unbelievably special and apparently he's close friends with a couple members of some reggae bands that I like and grew up listening to .
He's just so kind and embodies love in a very unusual way that is hard to find these days , especially in a cis heterosexual man who's a bit older than me (but not creepily so... ugh I feel old admitting that he's in my dating range now :/ )
Anyone else have experience with this?
Ironically my extended family who I barely talk to now is kind of famous but nothing cool or Interesting that I'd tell people. I've been on the receiving end of this 2nd degree mildly famous vibe on dates and It's probably more awkward for me then them when I eventually do tell them.
Edit : Also btw interestingly enough now that I'm post op when I tell people I'm trans and post op the answer is usually "thank you for telling me and being forward about it, but in the end I'm a straight dude and I like women. It doesn't matter what parts they've got ,i like women , I just Want her to be happy with her body and that's all that matters . "
Times are changing for the better and these fetishizing times we've all been used to are going away . I knew this already as being pre op I never had anyone reject me for being trans , if anything I'm just picky and rejected them . I got SRS because I needed to , and I had dysphoria that needed remedying .
