I have only met one other straight trans man besides myself and I’m wondering what that is. I see a lot of straight trans women but not a lot of men. To be fair, I’m in high school, so everyone’s going through changes right now and isn’t sure about their identity. But it sucks for everyone to automatically assume that I’m gay just because I’m trans.

I went stealth for a lot of high school but eventually got outed (I go to a small school so everyone knows me). Most of the time people treat me normally, like how they treated me prior to being outed. But I’m also getting grouped with the effeminate gay trans guys, too. The only other trans guys in my grade are a gay guy with purple hair, a bi guy that doesn’t cut his hair and dates straight guys, and some pan-poly-whatever with a curly rainbow mohawk who wears skirts and eyeliner (they might be non-binary? i’m not sure). All of these people are named after nouns. That’s not me! I don’t know why everyone thinks that that’s me!

Is there a psychological reason for this? Have the trans guys you’ve know detransitioned or come out as straight in the end? Have you seen this trend? This is also kind of a rant but I wanted to hear your experiences and opinions, too.
