It must be very lonely & demoralising if nobody finds you attractive. I'm not sure what can be done about it tho.

Friends can offer moral support & remind you of your worth as a human being but no amount of allyship can produce genuine attraction.

Even if your lack of potential partners is due to an identity that suffers unfair discrimination,it doesn't make the lack of partners unjust

I just don't think you can apply equality & inclusion goals to dating. This is an area where everyone is allowed to be discriminating.

''Trans people never get the sexual attention that we deserve'' they seem to think attention is a human right. WTF? No one 'deserves' it.
-
I get a fair amount of attention. I'm good

I wanted to read it myself & make a snarky comment, but sounds like it'd hit a sore spot. Trouble w/"queer allies" is they NEVER objectify u
-
I know the feeling of being put on a pedestal & everyone wanting to be seen w/you 'cause you're trans, but nobody wants to get close to you.
-
Which must be heartbreaking and very lonely.I'm not sure what can be done about it tho. No amount of allyship can produce genuine attraction
-
Well, I did a good thing about it, which is to hang out w/people who really do like trans women
instead of people who pretend for PC points -
But really, in terms of "nobody wanting to get close to me" in my teen years, I would've settled for emotional intimacy at that point anyway

Our chat with yr friend
@GodDoesnt yesterday shows that it's NICE to be appreciated. We all want to be desirable. It needn't b dehumanising. -
And anyway, as dehumanizing experiences go, it's one of the best. I kid, but wanting to want & to be wanted is the heart of inquiry re sex.

Sartre's stuff on sex in Being and Nothingness is very good - not at all "continental obfuscation."

I will check it out.
