Honestly gives me the ick and ruins it for me which stops me from wanting to watch any further, they always come out as wrong and super forced. Kinda brutal how transphobia was ingrained in most shows from the early 2000s and 2010s on some level. specially found in sitcoms. Big Bang theory does it on it's first episode, Dexter does it by the end of season 3, House and that one episode about the intersex woman, The good doctor and that episode about the girl who is trans. How I met your mom features many of these jokes across multiple seasons, Friends does too and the list goes on.

Your options are either:
-Chasers who will see you as a fetish because of your genitals if you're pre-op.

-Curious guys who see you as an opportunity to try something new.

-Insecure guys who will keep you hidden from the rest of the world (ie: family, friends...etc) and don't want to be seen with a traiknee in public because they're scared of being considered gay or something for being with a trans woman.

-Men who like you but who will snap eventually and be either abusive or agressive towards you once you decide to tell them you're trans. I've had experience with some of these type of men even if I had "Trans sexual woman" set on my profile on dating apps, apparently men can't read and can only think with their dicks.

-Men who will date you but they're just using you as a temporary thing and dump you for a cis girl eventually (has happened to me too) . Or what's worse those who will straight out cheat on you.

Sure there are some decent men out there but they're extremely rare to find and are already probably taken. Sometimes I kind wish I was at least bi but I feel no attraction towards women.
