Lifestyle tips

People can just be the worst sometimes, and they can be especially weird when it comes to the trans community. You'll find someone meant for you eventually, not just someone who cares for the superficial parts of you, but the entire you. Don't let this one person drag down your entire self esteem

Not trans, but I feel your pain. Back during my single pringle days, I'd chat it up with a bunch of dudes who seemed decent. If the conversation went well, I'd say, "Just so you know, I'm black. That's not a problem, is it?"

You'd be shocked at how often that was a problem.

And on top of that, I put my race in my profile. They didn't read it.

But remember, the problem is them - not your transness.

That reminds me, I should fill out my profile. From past experience I can say, knowing as much about the major factors that might affect compatibility/attraction is so important in the first instance, to prevent disappointment further on when feelings have developed. Nothing worse than getting feelings for someone who just doesn't like something major about you that's part of who you are. *vomit*

For me it's being on the autism spectrum; gonna be part of my profile cos it's really important that people know it rather than I tell them when I have got feelings then they go off me! (a mistake i made in the past imo).

But agreed, gotta read profiles folks!

I'm so sorry this happened to you, and everyone who has been shunned for awful reasons that hurt you.

I'm Bi, I'm taken, I'm old, and I'm not here to find someone to bang. LOL! I also wish everyone would take a peek and see, I try to, I consider it a courtesy to learn a little about the person that they'd like me to know. And if it says men DNI, or people over 40 DNI (that stings 🤣) I respect that! 😊

It saves so much time and energy. I hate empty profiles for that very reason, I want to know who I'm talking to beyond your height or weight. I'm so sorry this happened to you, no one deserves this kind of heartbreak.
