I'm a FEMALE to MALE transsexual. I was born a GIRL and I am now becoming a MALE (usually people get this confused because when they hear "transsexual" they automatically think it's a guy who got his stuff chopped off) that is not the case with me. I was born a GIRL and I've been on hormones ONLY..no surgery as of yet, but I'm VERY passable. I don't want to be seen as a "butch lesbian" anymore, and I'd REALLY like to date a straight woman, who may see me as more of a man than I think a lesbian would..but how do I explain the whole transsexual thing to a straight woman who thinks I'm a natural born male with a penis? Is having a penis really THAT important to being a "man"? Seems to me, character would be more important, cuz I ALWAYS hear from girls about how much of a jerk their man is, and well, me, coming from a female perspective, I think I know how to treat a girl...I just can't get them past the "ewwness" of my condition. Any suggestions?

I'm 26 years old and I'm a full time college student, so the girls are there, I'm just really nervous about outing myself to girls my age..many tend to be immature and feel it's their duty or buisiness to "warn" others about me...which is why I don't ask girls out, I don't trust that they won't "out" me to everyone.
