I don't get it. At all.

it's like dating that person who talks only about how much they hate their ex. Why? Embrace your "new" life. 10 years later, why are you still talking about how much you hated your ex?

I don't get it. Not derailing the thread. Just throwing a thought out there.

I don't. I only disclose when absolutely necessary. I talk about it here only when the subject comes up.

99% of normal straight people aren't going to have romantic relationships with a trans.
95% of gay people aren't going to either (and see the brouhaha over "TERF's") - a gay man wants a gay MAN, unless I suppose they really do just want to pitch full-time. Same for gay women.

So they're basically left hoping that trans-men are attracted to trans-women.

At no point did sex (whether or not I would be getting any) determine whether I would transition or not. That did not concern me. It still doesn't.
