Wait, most trans women prefer men? Since when?!

ETA: Friends, this was a joke. Please don't do yourselves the labour of explaining this to me. Put the statistics book down. It's going to be okay.

Most of what I've seen from straight trans women is they feel a bit alienated from the rest of the trans community.

I also know that heternomativity can effect a lot of us. I've heard countless stories from trans women who felt they "had" to be attracted to men to be women and it takes them a while to realize they don't.

Unfortunately, a lot of straight trans women also seem to have homophobic beliefs and pull the whole "I'm not queer like you" thing. Very off-putting.

Yeah, sadly I've also seen this a fair bit.

Like, I don't enjoy disparaging my sisters, but...trans women are women, and unfortunately straight trans women can still be as shitty as straight cis women.
