I am a bi transman but my attractions lead more towards women. I’m only on queer dating apps because apps like Hinge, Bumble, and Tinder just have never worked out. Literally the only people that hit me up are lesbians or straight men. I’ve called them out in the past and said I’m not comfortable dating or hooking up with someone that’s not into men because it just feels invalidating af and they always get mad. I don’t have much else to say but asking anyone else deals with this.

Being called pretty (self.FTMMen)
submitted 2 months ago by Klutzy_Software_5138 to r/FTMMen
How do you feel when someone calls you “pretty boy” or “beautiful boy”? Tonight at the train station a homeless woman begged me for money and she kept saying “you’re so pretty.” Mind you I am nearly 6 years on T, I got a beard and while I’m skinny and short, I aim to appear as masculine as possible. Anyways when she called me that I basically said “I am a man” and she walked away.
Idk for me being called terms like pretty, gorgeous, and beautiful have always felt incredibly emasculating to me. I have fought so hard to be a man. I want to be called handsome but no one ever says it to me. I just get called “nice” also the boy part of it all. Beautiful boy, pretty boy like I’m almost 26 years old. I’m not this cute Uwu boy. I am an adult man.
Idk I often don’t hear cis men get called these terms. Why are transmen constantly having feminine terms and infantilizing language thrown at us and when we say something about it we are told we are “ungrateful.” That I have “toxic masculinity” when really I just want to be seen as a fucking man like every other cisgender guy. It’s just so annoying to deal with.
I understand people are only trying to be nice but it still rubs me the wrong way. Being called pretty for me brings back trauma of the days I couldn’t be me and I just don’t like it.

People are calling her "pretty" and her only dating app matches are straight men and lesbians, but she completely passes! Look, she has a beard!
