Straight guys and transsexual women...

[dilane]

I posed this same question to one of the guys who rejected me via email after I told him I was trans. Here's his reply straight from the horse's mouth:

That in my experience with several TS friends, is not unusual.

All the name-calling in the world isn't going to change that some guys just can't handle the thought. I know one TS girl who told her BF waaay late, when they were discussing marriage, and it did not go well. I've heard many second hand stories with the same ending.

However, like Mr. Wrong said, they are out there, but I think they are a distinct minority. But several acquaintances have BF's who know. One met the guy in a swanky straight bar in Beverly Hills. He was put off at first, then came around, and they're still a number after over a year.

This is something we who are thinking of transitioning need to consider -- nothing about this is easy, is it? Even in my experience out and about with guys who were obviously interested, most times the disclosure quells the ardor (but not always!) In my experience, most of the guys remain friendly.
