Especially if I'm going to be dating you? I'd like to know things that might make certain aspects of our relationship more difficult.

Whether cis or trans, I feel like you should disclose anything that might require some adjustment on the other person's part.
-
I also don't think it's phobic to not want to be faced with certain things. Whether it be someone having kids, dating interracially, etc.
-
It might be selfish and self serving AF. But I think we need to be careful with the word "phobic" bc there's a lot of Grey between b&w.

Type is very grey. Very very grey.

Murder and violence against transfolk is phobic. Verbal abuse. Systematic abuse. The things that make it hard for transfolk to live fully.
-
But where I see the disconnect is where many people don't consider transfolk are real men/women. That takes education. I'm learning.
-
I still don't know all the nuances. I still need educating.
-
But I do know it can be tiring as hell having to continually explain your existence and all the nuances it has while being an other.
-
And the potential backlash that can occur from doing so. So I do understand why some choose not to disclose.
