Online I see a lot of references to trans women getting together with each other, but I've never seen similar for trans men (or trans men and women). Does this track to IRL? Or is this imbalance just a memetic artifact (trans memes are popular + yuri memes are popular = trans yuri memes are popular)?
from my subjective observation, trans men are less represented (or at least less visible) in general. be that in online spaces, memes, politics, etc., most discussions focus on trans women for some reason
Im in portland and have been transitioning for 10+ years. Pairings of all types happen. The trans fem yuri pairing online highlight is just gay lesbian fetish 2.0
Idk, I'm dating a trans woman and my ex was a trans woman and my girlfriend's exes were trans women and I'm a trans woman and we know multiple other local trans women couples. It definitely isn't just an online fetish.

There's a dirty joke about entering in there, but I can't make it work

Confidence (read as no fucks given) > handsome
I was never the most handsome in the room, but I never let that slow me down.

Idk, all the trans men I've met have been quite competent in that respect as well

Don't get me started on those sexy bastards. Ooooh, I got the vapors!

Most people aren't at their hottest when running really fast.

Dumb question from a cis person:

It's kinda the opposite irl. I met far more transmascs than transfems in person

You see it more because more people are into it.

Dumb guess from a cis person: trans men and trans women getting together is just straight

Thanks for the correction.

There's definitely extra steps. A lot of duet dancing is gendered and queering it is lots of work.

You just can't see trans men. I had a friend come out to me once, and if he hadn't been a baker I'd have never known where the little bastard was.
