confusion at actually meeting other trans women for the first time Afficher plus
It's weird that now that I'm in the city and actually meeting other trans femmes in person, I honestly don't feel there's automatically some connection. It's not that they're unlikable or mean, but more that I realize I don't have a lot in common with their experiences, even along being trans. So that's creating doubt, especially what with the whole "You're probably best off dating other trans women" advice I get a lot.

And it kind of sucks on top of my bi/straight feelings growing. My ex said some questionable things when word got to her that I don't really consider myself a lesbian. Which is weird, she herself is bi, and her last boyfriend figured out he was gay while dating her.
I get that men are pigs and the male gaze sucks, but I get sparks more for guys than women of any experience.

I mean, to get gross, I feel like I get interested in maybe one type of female body (short and curvy, which is kind of rare with us 😞), and I'm curious about a bunch of different male body types. Way more men than women catch my eyes these days.
And I was never really trans attracted. Trans people sort of made me uncomfortable before I accepted I was trans, like I knew on some level they'd evoke difficult thoughts I buried.

@ikea_femme I mean, if you're feeling more into men lately, go for it. And there are totally non-gay trans men to be dated, too.
I've been enjoying getting with trans women and related enbies a lot lately, bit that doesn't mean it's superior or just happens automatically. (And in fact it bothers me when people assume it will just happen automatically. Like, I still need chemistry with that particular person.)

@listelian My big problem is that I've put off dating even though I want to date for various reasons, and now I'm just kind of "???" sexually. Don't much care for my old porn, I like some different erotica now, but in a really inconsistent way.
I guess if HRT is a second puberty, I'm going through that awkward teenage phase where everything and nothing is sexy and you have to figure yourself out. Again.
