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.

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.
