LifestyleIs it reasonable to expect a life of singleness trying to date as a "pro-reality" gay & lesbian?

No, some day you'll meet the right man.

Also, I think it's stupid to let political opinions get in the way of a good relationship (i.e. block someone over it). I lie right-of-center politically, my husband lies left-of-center. Sometimes we have to just stop talking about politics for a couple of hours. But otherwise our relationship is very strong.

I'd like to hope so because it's already hard enough traversing the gay dating world as a GNC feminine guy and now I have to worry about my being pro-reality is also going to be a slight against me? FML lol

The reason he blocked me aside form that though is that I actually did try to challenge him a bit. I asked him to define what a woman and a man are without using stereotypes of the opposite sex and he just couldn't do it. He kept saying it's "how you identify" to which I asked him to explain how one "identifies" as either sex. Apparently that was problematic and he couldn't logically defend what he was saying.

I dunno. The only issue I see is maybe your timing. But honestly blocking is a really extreme reaction, at least in my Gen-X worldview. I only block people who are truly obnoxious and harassing (and this happens to me very very rarely). To block someone just because you don't like their political views seems childish. I have tons of Facebook friends whose leftist political leanings I find highly offensive, but none of it is personally directed at me and each and every one of them I once found valuable enough to friend them, so the most I'll do is "snooze" them for a couple of weeks if they get too aggressive and I don't want to listen to it.

But he probably did you a favor in the long run. Do you really want to spend the rest of your life with someone like that?

Yeah same tbh. I only block people when they are being extremely antagonistic or obnoxious as well. It's just that around my age which are millennials (born in 1991) it seems some people aren't willing to agree to disagree when it comes to this "trans" crap because being against transgender ideology is "killing people" and all that noise. But yeah I wouldn't want to be with someone like that at all so I'm not completely bummed about it but it was more the wake up call that most gays have swallowed trans dogma and will not want anything to do with you if you're against it which just adds another obstacle when trying to date.
