i hope you don't mind if i continue this discussion, as i've just re-read this for the third time today. you're right, much of my confusion likely had a lot to do with the fact that we're seeing things from andreas' perspective here. we don't get to see what's going on in philipp's/pia's mind and how sexualized this entire experience may be for him. i'd like to though, very much. it'd be fascinating to find out what's going on behind the scenes here.
i think gender identity tends to be such a sensitive issue because everyone brings their own experience to it (forgive the obviousness of that statement, please). my best friend's wife just last year starting living as a man. it's actually been a bit of an issue in their marriage because friend is a lesbian and is struggling to understand what this means in terms of her own sexuality and identity. we spend a lot of time discussing these very issues you're working through here. you mentioned that this fic was loosely based on your real life experience; i, in turn, put on my own real-life goggles as a reader.
i'm eager to see where you take this with footie_bang. as mentioned above, i'd love to see this from philipp's perspective.
i hope that i was able to get across how much i really loved this fic. i would like it if we were friends, so i hope that you don't mind that i'm going to add you.
