Speaking of genitals and sexuality - why is it that a cis woman desiring to be penetrated by someone they're in love with is seen as just normal female sexuality, but a trans woman desiring the same is pathologised as some kind of twisted fetish?
Hell, ANY form of sexual desire in a trans woman is seen as evidence it's all one big fetish, and even asexual trans women are seen as having some kind of fetish.

We can't win
I'm going to openly say that my libido, despite being different from how it used to be, is definitely there.

My sexuality feels amazingly more comfortable these days.

Wanna hear me secret twisted perverted fantasy?
I want to be held and kissed by someone I'm in love with and penetrated in my vagina (I'll have one eventually).

I really miss being intimate with Amy, and I hate how over the years my sexuality got twisted into something else.
Now my sexuality feels beautiful and comfortable and loving again.

Unfortunately my body isn't right, and I can't be intimate without risking being betrayed by it.

Wanna ruin the mood completely? Cause me to have an erection.
Guess what - I have sexual thoughts and feelings about my genitals and what I'd like to do with them!

Perversion, right?

I want my wife, who I'm in love with, to take my virginity again after I have surgery, and it's going to be beautiful - as it should be.
Why should I be ashamed of having sexual desires and fantasies like any other sexually mature adult (asexuals excepted of course)?

What is wrong with me desiring intimacy with my wife?
I'm sick of having to hide my sexuality as if it's something shameful, just because I'm trans.

I'm sick of people making out we're all predators just because like the majority of the adult population we have sexual desires.
Wanting sex doesn't make me a pervert.

It's not perverted to desire sex.

It's human.
I'm sick of having to pretend that I want a vagina ONLY for the relief from dysphoria and physical discomfort.

Obviously that is one big reason, but it's not the sole reason.
I get the impression sometimes that desiring surgery so I can have the correct genitals is seen as somehow wrong if any part of my motivation is in any way sexual.

As if desiring sexual functioning and intimacy is wrong.
Yes, it's primarily because of the physical discomfort and dysphoria caused by having the wrong parts.

I'd want to get my genitals fixed even if I'd never be able to have sex ever again.

Because genital dysphoria is a big deal for me and hurts badly.
But I also am in love with my wife, and I want to express my love for her by being physically intimate in a way that feels right.

The mental aspects of sexuality feel better now, is it so wrong to want the physical aspects to match?
Is it wrong to want to enjoy even light erotic stimuli without feeling physically sick and sometimes actually literally throwing up due to having an erection?
I'd actually like one of the #GenderCritical people to tell me why they insist on labelling me a fetishist or a pervert just because I want the ability to enjoy the physical side of my sexuality without feeling sick.

Why?
Millions of cis men take Viagra and Cialis and other such meds to fix medical issues that prevent them from enjoying their sexuality physically.

Is it so wrong for me to want to enjoy my sexuality physically too?
