Be secure with yourself and the relationship. We're likely to already feel insecure about it guys or girls, please don't add insult to injury.ĥ. When you've recently started dating a girl who is early-to-mid transition, don't look at her like she's Chewbacca for having some facial stubble in the morning. Some girls are further along in their transitions than others. To many guys, we're "good enough" for sex but not to be seen out with in public.Ĥ. I leaned forward and whispered in his ear, "I'm a transgender female." His looked shocked, but then he then grabbed my thigh and asked, "Can I see your cock?" Sadly, this is not uncommon territory trans people are often violated like this. After about 10 minutes of conversation he asked if he could take me out the following night. Once, when I was at a lounge with a few friends, I went to the bar to grab some drinks and met this guy. Once they ask me out and I inform them of my gender, however, a total 360 happens. When I've met men at a bar or restaurant, I've had great conversations with them. Men that I've dated tend to oversexualize transgender women as these rare, mystical beings who are always horny and ready to have sex. Treat me like a person and not a sexual unicorn. Also, it's kind of offensive! A lot of this information is available online. Asking me what's the difference between a cross dresser and transgender makes me feel like I'm your personal textbook. For example, once we've gotten to know each other, asking me if I'm non-op (transgender individuals who have not had any surgery), pre-op (transgender individuals who have not had genital surgery, but may have had breast augmentations) or post-op (transgender individuals who have had breast augmentation and genital surgery) is fine, since it's a personal question about me. Many guys tend to ask questions, which is good in some circumstances. Don't make me feel like I need to be your teacher 24/7. Simply put: Don't let what you see in porn dictate how you communicate with a trans woman.Ģ. Unfortunately, these fantasies are all too often produced and directed by cis men. Porn companies are giving their audience a fantasy.

The term "tranny" makes me feel like a thing rather than a person.

Don't refer to me as a "tranny." Sure, while you might see a lot of trans porn stars labeling themselves that way, many trans women experience it as derogatory.
