I peaked in 2018, but the seeds were planted before over the course of 4 years. In 2014, I had an encounter with a HSTS in a bar who started bashing on gay men for not wanting to interact with him. I was polite and let him speak, but he started referring to all of us as faggots because, god forbid, we go to gay bars to network with other gay men to find hook-ups and relationships. It's like his dumb ass forgot what these spaces were for the minute he started wearing high heels and downing estrogen.

Over the next few years, I had several encounters with HSTS & BSTS in gay bars that reaffirmed for me that transitioning is just about internalized self-hated. Everything they complain about gay men doing, they do ten-fold. Not to mention I've seen the amount of pressure they put on GNC gay men to transition, especially if they do drag.

HSTS

That’s a gay man who wanted to become a woman, yes? Because that definitely is internalised homophobia. This man you speak of, and people like Kat Blaque, are examples of gay men who talk shit about gay men as soon as they transition. Furthermore, it’s not going to increase the dating pool, because only some bisexuals - and I mean some - are going to date and sleep with transsexuals.

gay crossdresser here. The amount of people who tell me I must be trans beggars belief. Literally for decades now.

No honey, you do not know me better than I know myself, now kindly fuck off. Is my usual reply.
