Some highlights from the comments

I know it's rough, I've been there. But she's clearly not worth your time.

Yeah! Fuck her for wanting a normal lesbian relationship, utterly pathetic. We real queers take pride in our dysfunctional relationships that are built on lies.

i know its hard buddy but she isnt the right one for you. you deserve to be with someone who sees you for who you truly are, a trans man, and love You. ... side note this kind of thing has happened to me but im always curious why the other person wouldnt at least question their sexuality lmao like breaking news i was trans this whole time and you liked me so sorry to say u are attracted to at least one man lol

Someone's bitter because she painted herself into a corner. "It's invalidating for lesbians to date trans men because I'm a REAL man!" "Wait, why are you leaving??? Aren't you going to change for me???"

She doesn’t love you for you. She loves you for what you represent for her and her identity. That’s not true love. Sorry dude. Show yourself the love you deserve and make space for a person that wants you completely no matter what your physical being looks like.

Love is having no preferences or standards. Oh, and no interests or friends, because your whole existence should be focused on me and validating me. I don't know why I can't get a girlfriend...

consider a queerplatonic relationship ! it’s essentially a committed relationship similar to dating but without some of the romantic/s*xual elements, and you can see other partners because it isn’t dating. just an idea.

Have you tried reframing the concept of friendship so you feel less rejected? That's what I do! It's very healthy and normal.

This was my favorite eye-roller:

it sounds like your gf was with you on the assumption that you are a girl

Yes, how stupid of this girlfriend to assume that a female human being was a girl!

Can they not even hear how nuts they sound?

This is a bullshit toxic idea. "Love" is an illusion. Its healthiest correlate in the real world is a relationship built on mutual respect, shared history, shared values, often shared interests, and in the case of romantic "love", mutual sexual attraction. In other words, it is conditional on two people having something to offer each other.

I wasn't able to experience a healthy romantic relationship until I fully understood that it is fundamentally based not only on what your partner has to offer to you, but also (and perhaps more importantly) what you have to offer your partner.
