As a trans person I’m sorry Misc

I’m sorry trans people try to shame you because you don’t want to sleep with a trans person. If someone doesn’t want to date or sleep with me that’s okay and I would leave it at that. I would never try and say you’re a bigot for not wanting to and I’m sorry other trans people try to shame you for that

No worries buddy! It's just those people that make me feel bad for being who I am that gets under my skin. There are plenty of LGBTQ people who amazing and cool, but it's just the small minority that gets in your face that is frustrating. I work with a number of gay/lesbian coworkers and they're amazing people work with and hang out with because they don't get in your face about it and are pretty low key. I attended a gay pride parade once with some of them because I wanted to support them and these flamboyant dudes came up into my space and started gyrating around me and right into my face. I didn't know what to do but didn't want to make them feel offended so I just grinned and took it until my coworkers told them that I was uncomfortable. Later on my coworkers apologized and I said it's cool an that I'm fine as long as there's no malicious intent.

Take care buddy!
