There is been a lot of discussion in recent years on gender and it seems as if anything goes at this point in time. Perhaps that is why we are not alarmed that a man who claims he is an ‘alpha male’ is dating a transgender woman.
Jesse Schwenker is a 29-year-old man from Florida who is self-proclaimed as being an alpha male. He has fallen in love with a transgender woman, 25-year-old Cassidy Cauley. Although it is unconventional, it seems as if it is working out for them.
Jesse believed in traditional love and he didn’t have any idea that he would ever go against his belief. The love story between these two started, however, when he stumbled on her profile on Instagram. It didn’t take long before he was feeling the vibes.
At first, Jesse got a lot of negative feedback because he was dating a transgender woman but he emphasized that negative comments only caused their bond to grow stronger. They have continued to strengthen their bond since that time.
At some point, Jesse and Cassidy decided that their story was not one that should be kept under wraps. They knew that it wasn’t the popular choice but they wanted to break free from the barriers and be a voice for men who want to date transgender individuals.
They have a message they want to share with the world and it really involves the fact that love doesn’t know the boundaries. Regardless of your past or your identity, you can be part of a loving relationship.
Cassidy had struggled with her emotions until she was 14 and she identified as a woman since she was very young. When she came across a YouTube video that inspired her, she began the process of transitioning completely. Even though online comments were hurtful, she wanted to be true to herself.
Before she found Jesse and the love they shared together, she tried her hand at various relationships. Many people were disappointed when she disclosed her transgender identity, feeling as if she had led them on.
That wasn’t the case with Jesse, as he had a genuine interest and wanted to support her. It really changed her feelings on the subject and now they have connected deeply.
Cassidy met Jesse in May 2022 and they spent a week together. That’s all it took for them to fall in love but things didn’t go smoothly from that point forward. Jesse spoke with his parents and his friends and he didn’t get a warm reception. He did lose some friends but he feels that it’s a blessing because they never could have been true friends in his estimation.
There are also people online who called them brainwashers among other negative comments, but the couple has developed a ‘thick-skinned’ and continues to be a voice for others in the situation. They feel that there should be no stop to true love and they want others to be inspired by their story.
Jesse is now planning on proposing and he hopes that they will adopt two kids so that they can have a normal life together like any other family. Through it all, they’ve maintained a clear message, the evolution of societal attitudes must change and love will always come out on top.
