Because of their expectation I’d stay home with kids, they never valued my education, educational achievements or emphasized things beyond domestic sk**ls. I’m the second youngest. By the time I was in high scho...

Personally, I’m open to trans friendships and connections, but I also know I’m only physically attracted to partners who have female ge***alia. A few weeks ago, I matched wit...
