I love spending time with women, even when we disagree on basic tenets of reality. So I do go on dates with lesbians and bi women who are TRAs, or just "well-meaning" normies.

Really? That's so funny how different people respond to that situation, lol. It just makes me feel depressed when I hear other gay/bisexual women spout TRA talking points; it makes me feel more alone, and also frustrated to hear people call beliefs that are rooted in sexism and homophobia "progressive." Sounds like you've found a way to take something negative and turn it into a positive?

I mostly just don't bring the topic up, but I answer honestly if they ask about my views on the LGBTQ community. There's so many other things I want to discuss and share with a woman, so I steer the conversation towards those areas. The gender debate has been really draining for me these last few months and I'm not dating seriously rn, so I like to keep my experiences fun and flirty. Trans is the least fun and flirty topic so it's easier to ignore once we get past the "are you L B T or Q?" stage, if the woman says she's TQ/pro-TWAW, I know to keep things surface level and physical with her.
