In fact, a University of Michigan study published last year found that trans youth not only reported high instances of being misgendered by romantic partners, but also said they encountered rampant transphobia on dating apps
If people don’t accept your definition of your gender and then get their gonads out – appropriately – for that gender then that’s rampant transphobia. That’s how they’re actually defining it.
Sheesh.
dating for people of the trans experience is a shit opera
Whodathunkit that turning yourself into a strange looking He-She would negatively effect your chances of romantic success.
many continue to see trans folx as a threat to our social fabric and no one has borne the brunt of that animosity more than trans people of color
Crack-addled black tranny prostitutes hardest hit (literally).
There’s tremendous joy and revelations to be found in dating as a trans person, too.
Is that a stoma pouch, or are you just pleased to see me?
It gets tricky because I think a lot of ‘straight’ women aren’t interested in me because I’m trans.
Crazy how women aren’t interested in a 5’2″ “man” with a dessicated vagina or a ridiculous coke-can Frankendick made out of their flayed leg meat.
I just turned 21, and I’ve never had a successful relationship, or any relationship, period. I don’t say that to throw myself a pity party; I’m young and things can always change but as of now, this is my truth.
Spoiler: it doesn’t get better, and in Hell they’ll roast thee like a herring.
I feel like as a non-binary (not nonbinary but not-binary) trans person, I don’t fit into a lot of people’s images of their ideal partner
I hear Doctor Moreau is single, and he has his own private island.
Hello, I’m a trans person and, by definition, batshit crazy.
Wanna date?
Steve’s last line wins the thread.
“being misgendered by romantic partners”
Wait, they became romantic partners but did not know you were trans? Are you sure?
Given that I will not – ever – date a transwoman, I’m more than happy to be transphobic. I’m not a homosexual, so will not date a man. It really is that simple.
For those who have a passing interest, watch this. Or not…

They don’t even believe their own bullshit. They’re just adolescents trying to see how far they can push the politicians and corporate CEOs. It’s the same routine 11-year-olds use for substitute teachers.
If everyone stops taking their demands so seriously, sure there will be some screeching and flailing for a time, but they’ll eventually grow tired of begging for attention and either grow the fuck up or move on to the next thing.
Dennis – Wanna date?
I see you’re a scholar of the classics (Frankenhooker)
El Draque – Thank you
Longrider – “date” doesn’t even mean going out with a bird anymore. It just means loveless fucking. That probably sounds great to anyone who hasn’t done a lot of fucking (i.e. all of us at that age), but it explains why younger Millennials are so dysfunctional, trudging through the monotonous barren hellscape of socially and romantically malnourished, pornscarred lives that they do.
The days when your Dad would cheerfully sire you in the back of a Ford Cortina, then find himself forced to marry your Mum right quick if he knew what was good for him, then do normal family man stuff such as buy a house, have more kids, read Top Gear Magazine, shout at you, etc. really were a halcyon technicolor dayglo boogie wonderland in comparison.
@APL “Her name was Lola. L.O.L.A Looola…..” 😉
I believe that song, and its message, is ….well known…
If dating is a shit show for queer men, then dating for people of the trans experience is a shit opera.
The majority of homosexual men and trannies have dysfunctional lives – who could have guessed? And they blame everybody else and not themselves – unprecedented!
I posit these “trans folx” and “non-binary queer folx” are just as “transphobic” as they claim the so-called “cis” people being trashed in the article are.
Why aren’t these whiny trans people dipping into the trans, nonbinary, queer dating pool that’s growing bigger every day and hooking up with each other? Think of all the mutual affirming that could take place! The total understanding of each other’s trans experiences in a cis world, the mutual mental masturbation sessions over being “misgendered”, etc. You have a built-in support group in a fellow trans partner! Even better, be a polyamorous trans and spread the love around!
Is there enough mental to go around for polyamorous trannies? If so, that would be a goldmine for Tim Newman!
