3 Types of Guys I’ve Met Dating Online as a Single Trans Woman

With my accounts on OkCupid, Tinder, Hinge, Coffee Meets Bagel and ChristianMingle, I am subjected to the same kind of messages from Mr. Washboard-Abs-No-Face and unsolicited dick pics that most women, unfortunately, receive. But searching for Mr. Right as a transgender woman adds a whole new dimension to digital dating.

As a trans woman on dating apps, I’ve always made sure that guys are aware that I am transgender. This avoids wasting each other’s time. There have also been many documented cases of trans women being hurt and sometimes even killed when they disclose their status to transphobic men that found them attractive, so being completely transparent is also a way of protecting myself from potentially dangerous situations.

These guys want to chill somewhere less public or exclusively at their place so they won’t be seen with me. I have actually “dated” some of these men, including one guy who checked his apartment’s hallway to make sure his neighbours wouldn’t see me leave his place. Another guy made sure even his social media presence wasn’t linked to mine. He lied about not having an Instagram account, then when I “came across it” and liked one of his pictures in spite, he blocked me.

I had another similar experience on a first date where a man greeted me, hugged me, then said he left something in his car. After a couple of minutes, I got a text from him while waiting alone at our table that said he had to leave because my transgender status was giving him anxiety. After that, I stopped chasing guys who were too concerned about their feelings to even think about mine.

He started yelling that I never told him. I responded saying it was all over my OkCupid profile, which it turns out he never read. He said, “I’m bouncing; that’s f-cked up,” and jumped out of the car, spat on the ground, slammed the car door and walked away. I sat in the back seat of my car in complete shock.

LGBTQ Town Hall Criticized for Excluding Black Trans Women'It’s pathetic that we had to fight for inclusion of our community in an LGBTQ space.' –BlossomCBrown BlossomCBrown The HRC gonna HRC… Knowing that some of the women quoted in this article have been critical of Bernie Sanders, I hope this will make them rethink their support for the LGBT establishment-corporate media alliance and their preferred candidates. BlossomCBrown It's unfortunately not surprising. The cisgender LGB community has all too often treated trans people as second-class, and trans people of color all the more so. They need to do better, especially these days. BlossomCBrown Bald men are dying! Our lives matter I'm an extraordinary bald man and I deserve to be here!!! That's baldphobic!
