It's weird what kind of questions some people deem ok to ask me just because they notice that I'm "different". For instance: "So you like straight women to have the hots for you because they think you're a guy?" WTF? I didn't explain to the man who asked me this that I like gay or bisexual women who are into me and who know that I'm a lesbian.
I get transphobic comments from time to time even though I'm not trans. Interestingly enough, mostly from lesbians, bi-curious or questioning women. Had I been in a relationship with one of them I would probably have thought that they wanted to be sure that I'm gay and that I had no intention of transitioning because that could affect how they identify or label themselves. However, since those women were just acquaintances it made me wonder why they wanted to discuss my sex especially since they already knew that I'm a woman and that I'm not a FTM.
I do not get angry when some people think that I'm a guy and when they use personal pronouns auch as he, him, his when they talk about me. I'm not dressing and looking the way I do because I want to pass as male - it's just how I feel most comfortable.
