Yes and it cuts both ways. Prior to transition when I was driving an Infiniti I got female attention but driving beat up Hyundais and Fords the only attention I got was from the police, like driving around with a sign that says, "pull me over".

Post transition my life circumstances are much better but the cars affect my dating prospects totally differently. Driving a brand new performance model EV in 2022 I had at least two dates where the guy would lose all interest in me once they saw I was driving a car that costed several times their annual income.

You could literally see all interest melt off their face, "my car is the white sedan, can you drop me off there?"

Immediate flip from being warm and engaged to this cold, "gtfo out of my Nissan" vibe

You can't have a shitty car as a man and you can't have a nicer car as a trans woman

Sounds like you dodged at least 2 bullets.

Wait "performance model EV" wasn't a Tesla, was it? They may have been in fear for their lives.
