So Are You a Lesbian?

As interesting a subject as ours is, the questions newly informed people ask are common. I have become so used to the same rhetoric there is no more anxiety about my answers. I find that complete and blunt honesty is key. People always ask me if I'm a lesbian.
It has taken me a long time to understand who I am and a lot of courage to be able to say it. I answer yes. Beth being a woman kind of classifies us as lesbians. I am attracted to men, however I am attracted to Beth. I am attracted to the person, not the sex, nor the gender. I am attracted to the person I'm in love with. In the eyes of society, we live an alternative lifestyle.

The second question I'm asked is if I think Beth will leave me for a man out of curiosity. The other part of this question is always "Does she do this to get attention from men; is she gay?" My answer is No: No and at least not today. I'm sure she is curious as are many of us if we admit it to ourselves of trying something unknown. We are in a committed relationship. Just because I'm attracted to men doesn't mean that I am going to run over and rape that hottie on aisle 3. We love each other and are faithful just like regular married people. Attraction is one thing, but acting on it in any relationship is a whole different story.

We all yearn to be liked. I cannot think of anyone who would raise their hand to be beaten with an ugly stick. We dress to impress, but not to trick people. Anyone feels better about themselves when they feel their appearance is as it should be. No matter who you are, getting a second glance is flattering. Now, is Beth gay? She is attracted to women. She finds some men attractive. We have both become "lesbian" by circumstance. Lessons in life have taught both of us that love is precious and rare and never to cheat yourself of love for something as silly as appearance.

Oh, what about the kids? As parents we would love to shelter our children from the cruelties of the world. Though we try to protect them to the best of our abilities, it is impossible to keep them in a bubble. Our children will face challenge and ridicule. Our children are well loved and will grow up knowing about self respect and tolerance. They will appreciate life and love and beauty. Our children will know about honor, truth, strength and courage. Our children are blessed to have two parents and an entire team of loved ones to help them on this adventurous journey of growing up. How many of you were raised in a two parent, unbroken home?

As long as people are uneducated about Transsexuals and hold the key to unlock our strange mystery there will be questions. Plus I think people with boring lives are secretly curious and hoping for really kinky answers. Sorry, we're pretty average.
