It was incredibly unrealistic to expect those men to sleep with her. I feel bad for her, but at the same time she needs help.

I honestly am wondering if it makes sense to message this poor girl and try to talk some sense into her. She was talking about "ending it" as a result of this experience.

She's only two months in on T and no surgeries. She's only got a lot more of this kind of rejection ahead of her, and her life would be so much better with some therapy and just living like the straight girl she is. Maybe she just doesn't know you can live as a butchy, non-conforming straight woman?? She needs a real therapist to help her, or at least a real friend to tell her it's OK to just be who she is.

Should we use this space to try to help our sisters who are suffering in this way? I mean there's really nothing to stop us, since we've been kicked off reddit anyway.

That thread was so cringe, poor thing. As a straight guy I was wondering how a young woman could be in such denial of others' needs and attractions. I can't imagine going to a lesbian bar and expect to be the Belle of the ball lol. Self-knowledge and accepting our limits are a hard road for all of us.

Your compassion and understanding are exemplary. Sign me up for the 'be yourself' team.

They surround themselves with other people who constantly "validate" them, to the point that they truly start believing their delusions. This woman sincerely believes she's a gay man, and anyone who wont play along with her delusion is obviously just a hateful bigot. She simply cant seem to understand why they dont share in her delusion the same way her "queer" group does. Its fecking sad.

Go to a lesbian bar and declare yourself ‘Belle of the Ball’. Then harangue anyone who wont worship you as a ‘transphobic Cis-TERF’

It seems to work nowadays
