Am I Still Straight if I Date a Trans Man/Woman? with Everett

I am joined by my friend Everett (they/them) to answer this week's question, using it as an excuse to talk about gender, queering, and heterosexualizing.

Question from Mohera:

I was watching TikTok and there’s a trans man I follow who put up a video about girls asking him if they are still straight if they date him. He said, “of course you are, I’m a man! Trans men are men!”

I totally get what he’s saying but after everything you’ve talked about with queerness, I had some questions about this. I don’t want to be problematic so I’d like to hear what you think.

While I 100% agree that trans men are men, it seems weird to me to act like a relationship with a trans man would be exactly the same as with a cis man. I think it would be a lot different to date someone who had had some of the same experiences as me and could relate to me better on those levels, and who had different life experiences from that of a cis man. It seems weird to just brush that off as the same exact thing and move on. What do you think?
