Transgender Support Group

I'm new to the group, so if I offend anyone or do anything out of line, please let me know ASAP.

I'm a bisexual woman who's been in long term relationships with both women and men. Not together, I'm very monogomous! For the longest time I considered myself lesbian, until I fell in love with a great guy.

I'm writing a novel that has m/m/f relationships and transgender characters. They all just kind of pop out of my head and onto the pages without trouble, along with the hetero and gay characters. I'm having a problem on a love scene with a cross-dresser, though.

This character is male, gay, identifies with both sexes and dresses both ways depending on mood and setting. I'm tripping over pronouns. My pre-op TS character was obviously 'she' at all times. This one is obviously 'she' when in girl garb, but what about when it comes off?

I can just make it up as I go, but I really want the character to be authentic. I'll be happy to take the issue private and offline if anyone is willing to help me out.

Thanks!
