When I was around 8, my dad made the comment that it would have been easier for a trans lesbian to find partners if sheâd never transitioned. Iâm not an egg at 32 for exactly that reason or anythingâŚ.
Iâm gay and trans too, I feel you on having family members make shitty comments and being afraid of being unsupported and unloved. It sucks and hurts to hear shit like that. đ
â¤ď¸ youâre doing a lovely job as a guide, if that helps. Iâm very lucky to be married to a bisexual man whoâs happy whether I transition or not and my family would probably be largely accepting. My dad would definitely make shitty âjokesâ for a while, but heâd also be really excited to have a son, I think. Which is its own kind of shitty, but heâs never made it a big deal.
Thanks for the links! Iâve been looking through QZAP on my own, but a few of the candidates I was wanting to look at arenât loading for me (not sure if itâs because Iâm on mobile or if itâs an issue with the archive). Iâll check the other sites as well đ
For the uninitiated: It's more the other way around. Trans folks are like 20% straight, almost the opposite of the cis population which is honestly not that mindboggling if you consider that that sexual orientation and gender identification are different things, not just conceptually but biologically. Flipping one switch doesn't flip the other.
