That is so funny/sad because you must live so far removed from reality if you think that real men would act like they do in gay romance novels (written by women). So many emotions and confessions of feelings and I assume the smut is not very realistic either. You will never live that sort of life, trans or gay or not, because nobody does! One of my gay friends said Heartstopper is unwatchable for him because it's way too unrealistic. But these delusional girls somehow think they are missing out on their "gay guy" experience.TiFs talking about their love of yaoi and how they think it's a reflection of real life men. Archive

Does anyone else get crippling dysphoria when reading or watching mlm romance?
I’ve been reading a mlm book recently and am reminded that I go into a depressive state every time. It’s just like… I’m never going to have that experience. Rationally, I know it must suck to grow up as a gay man in such an unaccepting world, but I’m jealous. My teenage years are almost gone and I haven’t even dated any guys. I never got a chance to have someone have a crush on me. I never looked like a boy. I never acted like a boy. These books, while I love them, make me so incredibly frustrated and depressed. Kinda just wondering if any of y’all understand?
I'm a hard-core yaoi reader so I always try to self insert but it's like damn...I wish that was me
yeah :/ it's so hard bc I want to consume media like that but I know it just makes me feel like shit afterwards. I watched heartstopper for the first time a few weeks ago and I was sent into some really bad dysphoria from it, I really liked the show, but it just sucks that I never got to have an experience like that
I really like mlm romance but felt bad about it before knowing I was Trans. Tbh it made me feel happier that I could live a life that I dreamed of once I accepted being trans. Even if I don't have a cis man's kinda body, I'm happy enough with it. My disphoria comes more from people than anyone else
I read a lot of yaoi and mlm fanfic as a tween/young teen because I saw myself in it (am a gay dude) and wanted that for myself. I didn't realise it at the time, but yeah LOL
I get what you mean though. I found it difficult to watch Heartstopper because it just filled me with a sort of grief-like feeling over never being able to have those experiences growing up as a guy. The scene where they have their first kiss? GOD I wish I'd had that as a teen. :') Dysphoria sucks
This is extra retarded and the reason we have so many fujo troons now. I am fully convinced that they were shamed too much by Tumblr about "fetishizing" gay guys so they had to make up a new identity.I really like mlm romance but felt bad about it before knowing I was Trans.
