In this column, I am sharing, with his permission, correspondence from a transman in Brazil. His name has been changed.

Dr. Eva,

I have a serious question for you. I really would like to know your opinion and above all your feeling about it as woman.

After years of being alone, I hope to meet a girl that can be my girlfriend. I have my point of view of what happened to me, born with the brain of a male with some issues down below and wrong chromosomes. I do not feel shame of my past, I feel proud to have passed through all the challenges. However, I do not know if I want to tell the whole story and submit myself to another’s judgment.

Dr. Eva, is the penis so important for women? I think no woman will accept me without a penis. I hear women where I work say about men, “I don’t care about the face, I look at where it matters,” meaning how big it looks in the pants. It is so hard to take the risk to let a woman know, but I cannot afford the surgery to have those parts constructed.

There is so much fitness stuff out there with a different approach or a new way to scorch fat. Maybe they got the latest hot celebrity to endorse the product or system, I mean why not? I’m sure that’s how they got that body. It’s enough to make your head spin.

I’ve been with my wonderful husband for 14 years, and I’m delighted with my relationship. Having said that, when I provide dating and relationship coaching, I do find myself reflecting fondly on the last few years of being single before I met David. Back then, I’d learned how to relax about dating, and I was having a great time.
