Comments on: For the Non-Trans Gay Men: Liking a Trans Guy Does NOT Make You Straight http://trans.kolyafloit.com/archives/for-the-non-trans-gay-men-liking-a-trans-guy-does-not-make-you-straight Life of A Non-Standard Gay (trans)Guy Sat, 13 Mar 2010 17:56:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Not Aiden http://trans.kolyafloit.com/archives/for-the-non-trans-gay-men-liking-a-trans-guy-does-not-make-you-straight/comment-page-1#comment-249 Not Aiden Thu, 07 Jan 2010 17:51:19 +0000 http://trans.kolyafloit.com/?p=86#comment-249 Haha, I tend to stick to the men's department too unless it's Pride (decent short shorts and hip hugger flares that don't cost $600 each). Don't know if you've ever seen/heard of Ugly Betty, but think Justin Suarez or Marc St James rather than drag queen. Gods I miss Europe. I lived in London and Paris for about a year each, both were the absolute BEST places for me in terms of trans stuff. They beat out San Francisco and New York by a decent bit and those are the best places I've been able to find in the US. I also think European guys are just better looking than American ones =P Random, is transfag back to meaning gay trans guy? I've been kind of hiding in the shadows of the trans community for a couple of years so my terminology is a bit rusty. It was gay trans guy when I first came out then suddenly switched to trans guy who only dates other trans guys and then I decided they were all pissing me off and left. Be nice if there was a word to describe us again. Haha, I tend to stick to the men’s department too unless it’s Pride (decent short shorts and hip hugger flares that don’t cost $600 each).

A trans guy I know from youtube just told me about your blog. It's FANTASTIC! I'm a gay ftm. Gay as gay gets. Total transfag homo. So much of what you've said hits home. I'm actually fairly straight looking. While I wouldn't call myself butch, I do generally only shop in the men's department. Occasionally I'll put on eyeliner or have fun with femme mannerisms but most folks are pretty surprised when they find out I'm gay. I'm also really open about being trans (trans stuff is all over my FB profile) and people do struggle with putting the two things together. I don't usually have problems with cis-gender gay or bisexual men. A short sincere yet casual conversation to clear things up for them generally does the trick. Then again, I live in Europe, things are different over here. Folks are more open-minded in general. Hey!

Rather, gay trans guys who are effeminate and on the transexual end of the spectrum instead of the transgender side. Nah, it seems to be pretty typical of gay trans guys.
