When I was around 8, my dad made the comment that it would have been easier for a trans lesbian to find partners if she’d never transitioned. I’m not an egg at 32 for exactly that reason or anything….

Sorry, !196 is for trauma dumping, right?

Hard disagree with your dad there, it would be extraordinarily difficult for a cis man to get in a lesbian relationship.

I’m 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. 💔

❤️ you’re doing a lovely job as a guide, if that helps. I’m very lucky to be married to a bisexual man who’s happy whether I transition or not and my family would probably be largely accepting. My dad would definitely make shitty “jokes” for a while, but he’d also be really excited to have a son, I think. Which is its own kind of shitty, but he’s never made it a big deal.

Profferers of that view reveal they see women as fungible, else they'd comprehend lesbians want to date lesbians.
