'Straight men, on the other hand, also won't touch you because you're too assertive, with probably a fair amount of homophobia thrown in for good measure'
Well that and not being into dudes.

Great article, except for the following sentence:
"Straight men, on the other hand, also won't touch you because you're too assertive, with probably a fair amount of homophobia thrown in for good measure."
I don't think that's quite fair. Homophobia is obviously bad, but doesn't include not being attracted to guys as a straight man. That's just what heterosexuality is.

A few years ago, I cross-dressed as a man for Halloween.* I made the costume as realistic as possible, including strapping down my boobs (yes, with Ace bandages), "packing," etc.
It was easily the most physically uncomfortable I've been during Halloween, and I was sore in several places for days after. Trans-men who suffer that sort of cosmetic alteration on a daily basis aren't doing it because it's "cool," or because they think it's fun to trick people. They're doing it because they goddam have to.
* Specifically, I went as "Vinnie Viviano," who was pissed off because he couldn't get a part on "Jersey Shore." That part was fun.

Is it homo/trans-phobia if the straight guys that won't touch you are just, y'know, straight? Contrary to popular belief, straight guys won't f*ck anyone with a vagina; if you look like a dude and identify as one, they're probably just not sexually attracted to you.
Great and insightful article otherwise, though:-) Good like in your life!

"'Straight men, on the other hand, also won't touch you because you're too assertive, with probably a fair amount of homophobia thrown in for good measure'
Lemme tell y'all a little story. A lesbian friend of mine was recently harassed on Tumblr because she didn't like penises. The harassers were insisting that this was transphobic of her.
Am I saying that you're like them, Roman? Nope, of course not. What I'm saying is that if we start calling it "transphobia" when people don't feel attraction to certain traits then we reach that strange point where we're supposedly extreme left-wing but act like extreme right-wingers.

I'm more impressed with all the traveling this person has done. Must be nice to do all that.

As a straight cisgender male, I would date a male to female transgender. Who cares if she used to be a man. She also used to be 12. It doesn't make me a pedophile.

"Straight men, on the other hand, also won't touch you because you're too assertive, with probably a fair amount of homophobia thrown in for good measure."
Remember, folks, sexual preference is not a choice.
... unless it is heterosexuality. You only date the opposite sex, never people of the same, or transpeople? Give up being a s**t lord, you homophobe!
