Rules on Comments
If a post is tagged with a specific gender identity, keep the conversation centered on that identity.
You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people's identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways.
Recommendations:
We strongly encourage you to include your pronouns in your account bio so that others know how to refer to you without misgendering you. If you're questioning or unsure of your pronouns, that's totally cool—just say so.

Top text: When dating a trans woman leads to you realizing you're transfem too
Caption from show: I didn't know being a princess was contagious.
Forgive my ignorance, but how does it work?
Does the "straight" thing go from how you were born or from how you feel?
"Straight" from what they are right now, so for a trans woman (MTF) that means being a woman attracted to men.
This is why I'm a firm believer that "homo/heterosexual" is an outdated term. We need words to denote being attracted to masc/feminine people that don't also unnecessarily make implications about your own gender.
The most commonly accepted words for those concepts are gynesexual (attraction to women) and androsexual (attraction to men), though they’re used rarely
Exactly. I just recently realized I'm NB and the terminology for orientation is so confusing... Hetero? Oh so you still identify as male. Homo? Oh, you're trans. It's so complicated lol, shouldn't be that hard to say I'm nonbinary and like girls.
I see sapphic commonly used for femme presenting NBs who like feminine presenting people.
