I’m 2.5 years on hrt. I’ve noticed that in the last year or so that my face has changed quite a bit and that I am seeing a female in the mirror, I’m getting gendered correctly most of the time (except when I speak...but I digress). But I’ve noticed that (and it’s happening more frequently) that old cis male friends that have known me well before transitioning are hitting on me and going out of their way to say they would be in a relationship with me.

But 9 times out of 10 I go to question them it seems like it’s just some suppressed fetish or fantasy that they want to be with a transperson. But they play it off like they actually want more. Then I get ghosted or blocked.

Like idk if they generally have interest and sexting is just the norm, but I feel weird that I’ve had so many friends confide in me that they find me attractive (which I don’t think I am) and then immediately just ghost me. Like why can’t they just be honest with me?

I’m sorry if I didn’t really make sense it’s hard to get across the point I’m getting at.
