“How do you have sex?”
Lewis Hancox / BuzzFeed
How long have you been a man?
How am I meant to measure that? Do I start counting from the day I grew a beard? Started taking hormones? Changed my name? Or maybe from when I first said "I am a boy," at 4-years-old. Or maybe everyone could just accept that I've been a man my entire life — my body just didn’t agree.
You’d never be able to tell you’re trans.
This is kind of like saying, "You’d never be able to tell you were a girl", as though I’m successfully fooling the world. It also implies that if you could tell I was trans, that would be bad, whereas actually I felt just as male before my physical transition as I do now. We shouldn’t validate people on how well they pass as their true gender; it’s how they identify that counts.

So your girlfriend must be gay, right?
Quite simply, no. It's totally possible for straight girls to date trans guys.
