I have never gotten the impression a male admirer was coming across as being better because he was claiming to be straight. Nor has any reminded me about it outside of the initial mention, if it even occurred at all. It is only a label as far as I'm concerned. He can call himself whatever he likes especially if he is paying for dinner. :-) It does not change a thing since his actions is the real measure.

As previously mentioned by others, there are creepy admirers and very nice admirers and a bunch somewhere in between. Unfortunately, the creepy ones give the rest a bad name. This is true in any group, including the various flavors of transgendered, where a few negatively taint the rest. Stay away from the creeps, and be polite, but firm when necessary, to the rest. If you can't do that, it may be best to stay away from the places where the admirers congregate. Actually, my worse experiences were with guys who apparently did not know I was transgendered and were being quite aggressive or jerks. T-girl admirers do not have a monopoly on creepy, scary, clueless and/or stupid. I give them all the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.
