This qualitative research study examined the experiences of sexual-minority women in romantic and sexual relationships with female-to-male transsexuals (N = 20) using grounded theory analysis. This article reports data on issues related to sexual desire and practice in the context of a partner's transition, which participants said often compelled a process of renegotiating bodies and sexual connection. Participant reports on the influence of transition on the couple's sex life were mixed. Many participants discussed changes in sex which were negatively affected in the course of transition by a lesbian sexual orientation and a personal trauma history, and positively affected by a more embodied partner and a partner with increased libido. More general changes to the nature of their sexual life are detailed, including a greater dependence on heteronormative gendered sexual scripts as transition began.
本定性研究使用扎根理论分析方法，调查了性少数群体女性与跨性别男性（女变男）在浪漫和性关系中的经历（N=20）。本文报告了与伴侣过渡相关的性欲望和性行为问题的数据，参与者表示，这些问题常常迫使他们重新协商身体和性联系。参与者报告说，过渡对夫妻生活的影响是复杂的。许多参与者讨论了性方面的变化，在过渡过程中，由于同性恋性取向和个人创伤史，这些变化受到负面影响，而由于伴侣更具身体意识和伴侣性欲增加，这些变化又受到积极影响。更详细地描述了他们性生活性质的更普遍变化，包括在过渡开始时更加依赖异性恋性别化的性脚本。
