It's not grilling, I fully understand the curiosity.

With regards to your first question, I know of people who underwent partial transition, albeit many did so by pretending to be transmen and then only following through with some procedures, before stopping. I don't think it will ever be possible for me, due to financial reasons, but if I could do this too, I would.

My attraction to women affects my life in the way of having to be aware that when I am open about it, I will be perceived as as a lesbian and treated accordingly, espcially given the fact that I'm also open about my disinterest in dating men. I have actually been conflicted about whether I'm just a lesbian or just an asexual for over 10 years, before settlig for both.

People often forget that outside fandom, and indeed even inside it, few people understand or respect the idea of asexuality to begin with, and lesbians are not welcomed with open arms. It caused me many years of internal conflict, constantly questioning myself and having feelings of guilt over either being a "bad lesbian" brainwashed by heteronormativity to not want relationships with women, or a "bad feminist" brainwshed by patriarchy to find women attractive. And that's not even taking into account the ongoing war between lesbians and female bisexuals.
