Where you went wrong was in assuming that this person is trans. As some of the guys mentioned, some butch-mannered, masculinely-attired women totally identify as women and are not trans. Some...

Well I can't say I'm surprised. As Ze mentioned, we get that sort of reaction from MtFs all the time. For me it was a rude awakening when I first experienced it because (silly me) I thought if...
Yes they do - thank goodness! :D
My list:
1. There are all different kinds of men (just like women come in all variations), so you shouldn’t feel you have to emulate any particular model.

Now where have I heard that before . . . ? Hmmm . . . :thinking:
I've never heard that about Stuyvesant - and I've heard quite a bit about NY history. I think the governor mentioned is the one I spoke of here:

Gay men are men, Stephanie :raisedeyebrow:
Obviously newbies :rolleyes: . . . everyone here knows Johnny is mine and I don't share. :tongueout
Thanks, John :koc: . . . so an Ultra Scan is what we call an ultrasound. :thumbsup:
Amend that to: except GGs/FABs, TSs and FtMs on this site.
I'd say be honest and explain only as much as you need to up front 'cause they're probably not trained in how to act in these situations and are wondering what to say and/or do. You could say...
Ah to be young and sneaky again . . . I remember those days. *wistful sigh* :daydreaming:
Looks like our friend gave up. Who was that masked man? :raisedeyebrow:
His avatar kind of looks like Kevin Kline in period costume. :heehee:
I don't think it's silly. Some people are willing to try and find a compromise for someone who means a lot to them, but I think they're just kidding themselves ultimately. :straightface:
You know you're not gonna get an easy, straight answer from me, right? ;)
I came out publicly two years ago and I found that initially guys took it better - with more of a "welcome to the club"...
Oh yeah I totally hate that. Alan's right, the thing to do is correct them so they know not to assume anything the next time. You don't have to be rude about it, just correct them as any genetic...
I think it's good that you know what you like - what you're attracted to and not attracted to . . . but I think most guys would tell you they don't want someone who's interested in them just because...
Okay I've thought about it, and I'm gonna take what's behind door number three, Monty. I'm gonna go with Zen's answer and say neither - though I reserve the right to amend my answer later, if I want...
How did I know you were gonna say that, Zen? I was hoping to take the lazy way out and just answer yes or no without having to do any actual thinking. :tongueout
I guess I feel pretty much as Cai...
Haha! That figures! :^5:
Oh geez, I don't know :thinking: . . . let me get back to you on that. :idontknow:
Before I answer the question (and the poll), somebody please tell me what definition of "feminist" we're using. I don't think everyone defines it the same way and I want to be sure first. :idontknow:
Sorry, can't answer that 'cause I don't identify that way (I'm in the -4 category), but I'm sure they do exist. It's a big, wide world full of all possibilities and no two of us are exactly the same.
I'm glad somebody said it. :thumbsup:
I second that. :thumbsup:
She sounds open-minded - and like maybe she knows a bit about this stuff. I hope you become friends - we can all use people like that. :)
Susan, maybe that can be a topic of discussion in the private GM section. Just a thought . . . maybe those of you who get it can enlighten the others. :thinking: When we say it, we're called...
