I’m a bit perplexed at the amount of men I’ve matched with who are hardcore, Trump-voting Republicans. These guys are fully open to the idea of being in a relationship (not just a hookup) with a trans person, but staunchly support Trump. How does that logic work?

    I hope you stay safe. I’ve had multiple straight cis men tell me that they don’t care if someone is transgender, and more than a few of them had domestic violence in their criminal records. It’s alarming that it’s happened so many times, so I generally try not to step outside queer spaces when looking for dates now

      I’ve been reading for decades that trans people are more likely to be victims of domestic violence, but never thought it would happen to me until it did. I think I have a sixth sense for it now, and these Republican guys always set off the alarm bells.
