My trannie friends & associates say that the majority, if not 100% of the men they deal w/ R on the DL. PARTICULARLY the ones who 'trick' 4 a living. The ones w/ b/fs state that they consider their b/fs on the DL, b/c, it's not like when(if) they introduce them 2 the family or friends from their "real" world, that they say, this is my g/f, & she has a d***. They keep that 'tidbit' of info. 'under wraps', 4 as long as possible, or 4 good. One ladie even told me that her b/f, when asked by his mother why she never had any children, in all this time, that she tried in her previous relationship, but the pregnancy ended in miscarriage(TOTAL LIE!) They also consider these men to NOT be bi-sexual, but hetero-, b/c they are w/ them, & they consider themselves(and feel like on the inside) women. That part is still kinda grey(murky) 4 me...
