Maybe it’s because I’m boymoding until further notice. I’m boymoding until I have successfully lost enough weight to ALLEVIATE some of this dysphoria. Or maybe it’s because my personality just doesn’t click?

I can’t make gay friends. Ever since I knew I was transgender even all the way back in 2013, going to pride felt… Wrong somehow.

I go to gay bars, I am friends with a lesbian couple. I’ve been to drag shows. And for an unknown reason. Most gays don’t ever reach out to be friends… The only people in my life who have ever actually reached out are straight cis men and women. I try to have gay friends but they don’t stick around.

Maybe some of us are just a “cis Becky” in a trans girl’s body? Maybe I’m not good at explaining things… There’s just no real sense of community or camaraderie. I don’t know how else to explain it… like yes we are technically all a big part of the LGBTQ+ but I’ve heard from trans heterosexual post transition men and women (in particular the ones from transmedical) don’t really feel like they have an actual place here… I noticed it too

Cis het men and women have been the only ones to ever reach out, include me in stuff and actually be friends IRL. There’s an unknown reason why a lot of gay and trans people don’t actually reach out. And I don’t know why.
