Some of my exes were a bit baffled but supportive of me when I transitioned, some others were like “oh so that explains x” lmao
One particular ex told me she felt some trust with me she didn’t feel with other guys when we were dating, and that even though I wasn’t like other guys she was glad. It was really funny when we talked after knowing I’m not a guy
I found my first crush (like 1st grade) on insta, and she was like "oh my god thank you, my life makes more sense now, you were the only 'boy' I had ever had a crush on" 😆
Most of the girls I knew from high school were like "no way! I never would have .. (beat) Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. That explains a lot". Over and over again.
Shoutout to that one “guy” I dated in my late teens that, while we didn’t end up being compatible in the long term, I used as a reference point for how a boyfriend should treat me, and no other male-presenting partner was ever able to match.
And now she’s out of the closet and so much makes sense about why I could never find a guy to treat me as well as she did.
Honestly was wondering why I always moved in with my ex’e when I was younger , till I saw the lesbian U-Haul meme and 💡oh that’s why hahaha (bi trans women for context )
First boyfriend I had was very clearly comphet, I ended up dating all the boys in my friend group because everyone told me I must have crushes on them because I hung out with them so much
Then I dated my best friend after drifting away from the other boys, and I ended up a massive lesbian and he ended up queer in some way, he's still figuring it out, currently thinks hes aroace
When I was young I had a very close friend whose family mine was very close with. We would go over to his house constantly, and we did pretty much everything together, didn't care about physical contact, etc.
A lot of the adults teased us for being a "cute couple." Turns out he's a gay man, not a woman, and I'm a lesbian, not a man.
When I was like ten I made a best friend and I thought that I liked him in a crush way and we ‘dated’ for a bit until I realized I just loved him like a brother and we were better as friends, he agreed and we were closer than ever. Then a few years later I realized I was a lesbian so oops.
Even after I had figured out I was a lesbian I had a few dreams where we were dating, and I was confused in every dream it happened in and I always woke up wondering ‘why’ since I know I’m gay.
And I guess my dreams were seeing the future, since turns out ‘he’ was actually she.
Met my fiancè at 10 years old, and we became best friends almost instantly. People always made fun of us and said boys and girls can't just be friends. Well jokes on them, we first got together after she came out as a girl to me. Sure boys and girls can be friends, but girls and girls surely can't
Same thing happened to me and most all of my early relationships… eventually both of us discovered we were some degree of queerness. I think (considering my age) I was attracted to non-cis, non-heteronormative people without understanding the underlying reasons why.
I love being friends with guys who don’t see me as a potential love interest. Even though I turned out to just be a neurodivergent cis woman, in middle & high school I thought I was trans and I presented as a guy, and the best thing that came out of it for me was being treated as one of the guys in my friend groups. They usually didn’t see me as a potential love interest, roughhousing and being jackasses to each other was fun, and it made me realize that I don’t hate being friends with guys, I hate being friends with guys who treat me differently because of my gender. I miss those friendships, but I do also love my gal pals and wouldn’t trade them for the world
Edit: this was more of a response to the image than the post itself btw, it just reminded me of high school
After I started presenting femme again I kept treating my guy friends the same, but they became way more gentle (not roughhousing, not being a jackass) with me, and two of them developed crushes on me, and it was really disappointing. I ended up becoming distant with them
My coworker was talking about the girl he dated in highschool when he was trying to prove to himself that he could be straight. He mentioned going to Pride years later in the late 90's with his husband. They were walking and coming the other way was none other than his highschool girlfriend with her wife.
Haha, this reminds me of me and one of my closest friends. We never dated but everyone used to think we were but nooope! I love him to death but just as a friend. ❤️
As a lesbian who didn’t know I was one, the only person I ever almost dated was a trans woman who was also in the closet, and a dude with lesbian moms. I really enjoyed hanging out with his mom, and never knew why lmfao.
My highschool "boyfriend" later came out as a trans women, I stayed friends with her after we both came out and I dated her as a woman after highschool, didn't end up working out though.
Shout out to the version of going out as a kid with a "guy" who ends up being a girl later that one is also very funny.

Reminds me of when my ex asked me why my name on fb changed and i came out to her and she just screamed “i fucking called it”

I was with my ex for 7 years. We broke up and like 4 months later I came out as trans. She said it explained some things 😂

I’m trans and the only person I’ve truly dated learned she was gay shortly after dating me… which is also when I learned I was trans lmao

I had an idea for a story where these two fall for the same person who is nb

You love beards
I broke up with my ex-bf because I was gay. We caught up a few months later and he told me he was also gay
I had the opposite experience, she ended up being a lesbian and I ended up being a woman
Funnily enough one of my closest friends have a picture with me we were 3-4 yo. Dancing as a pair in a type of “prom” of our country.
Really cute photo of the pair of baby gays
Had an ex bf named Noah who is mlm and im wlw. A little bit different situation but its always funny looking back on it.
I never had a boyfriend just girlfriends 🤭
My highschool "boyfriend" later came out as a trans women, I stayed friends with her after we both came out and I dated her as a woman after highschool, didn't end up working out though.
Well if you two ever get “married” should I get lavender scented candles for your gift registry
