Aside from dealing with chuds, it seems like a much cooler lifestyle. I'm just too into women unfortunately (trans or Cis, i just like the feminine figure). You guys have fun.

    Trying to date online involved such an endless slew of men trying to have gay sex with me, i'm sure gay dating is hard in its own ways but dang the hookups are through the roof. Men be horny yo. And creepy, had more than one try to pay me to suck my dick, :jesse-wtf: yet weirdly flattering :blushing-engels:

      As a gay who is new to dating, finding hookups is a lot easier than finding commitment :sicko-wistful:

        Yeah I figured it'd be that way, the more people just wanna hook up the less likely they're looking for more than that. Hope you find someone who's right for you soon, though :latam-solidarity:

    I kissed a trans comrade several days ago and I liked it.

    She is actually a really old friend and it was my first time seeing her new look so we should probably have a conversation about that. She asked if that put some of our past interactions into new context and I was just kinda standing there struggling to remember anything she might have been talking about.

    I know this isn't 100% relevant to the post here but I wanted SOME place to type this out so this seemed a good enough place as any.

      i can remember a ton of pre-transition interactions with guys that clearly come off as them hitting on me in hindsight and if i'd hook up with any guy i've know as an egg, i'd absolutely ask the same question. would be interesting to find out if that's just me making things up or if there's actually been a ton of straight men that have always treated me different than guys.

        Thanks for chiming in! I had never really seen them as anything beyond a close friend, and didn't pick up on them transitioning (it came as a surprise after they had left town). I guess I'm just wondering like, is this person attracted to me? Not that it would change anything between us, I guess it's just always flattering to feel wanted. We've been talking as usual ever since and that's been fantastic, I just have that moment living in the back of my head, since it's only been a few days since it happened.

          She's been into you for a whiiiiiiiiiiile, love. There's a trope in trans circles (and genderbending fiction) that if you meet your former best friend as your new gender, it'll turn into a super romantic relationship. Not saying that's her expectation, but based on the details given it sounds like there are some fond memories there.

            Do you mind if I DM you about this at a later time? There's one more detail that idk if I'm comfortable posting out in the open, but I very much appreciate the perspective, and would love to talk about it with a 3rd party that doesn't personally know either of us!

            Thanks for sharing that, it does mean a lot, I've just got to play a show tonight and know that within the next like, 30 minutes im probably gonna disappear for the night.

      i think this guy put it well. queers can fight for something and, if not "win", at least make significant headway. their argument is about superstr*ights but i think it basically goes for all straights. you could call it "trauma bonding" but i think that might minimize it. the real battle was the friends we made along the way

    I'm bisexual and I think I can say that for certain.

    But if it makes you feel any better, I'm pretty much in the same boat because I am a massive coward and will probably never act on it.

        It’s super true. That line can certainly get blurry, which is I guess is why boundaries and clear expectations are important. Just easier said than done sometimes

    Maybe you'll find a cute femboy who works for ya someday, it helps to be open minded. Nothing wrong with being straight though, it is genuinely much much easier to date lol

    I have a lot of weirdness about feeling any attraction to any women that I know.

    I often wonder what it would be like if I was gay, would I be thinking similar thoughts or would it be completely different?
