Reader Question:
I am a pre-op transsexual, hoping one day to afford sexual reassignment surgery. I am 38 now and have actually taken the steps to transition for the past four years.
I am strongly attracted to women, but I do not know how to approach women with my situation.
Do most lesbian women take issue with gals like me? How should I go about meeting women for the long term?

Mary Gorham Malia’s Answer:
Dear Robyn,
A good place to start is take a deep breath – a few of them. Now you’re making very big changes in your life, and that alone can be overwhelming because the process is long and expensive.
I want to acknowledge your bravery and courage to own yourself and who you really are. With that said, you are correct in saying many lesbians will not be open to you for dating and a relationship.
Let’s change that story:
