Stealth win!

[Elijah3291]

I was standing outside of work with my boss smoking a cigarette, and she was talking about how she quit 8 years ago, said that when she had kids it helped her quit, and she stops what she is saying for a second and says to me.

"Do you have any kids?"

me- "oh, no"

her (chuckles) "none that you know of! haha"

me- "haha, yeah.. none that I know of!"

thought that was cool, cause obviously, as a trans man it would be impossible for me to have a child and not know it, but, anyways I love being stealth at work. Also, isn't it interesting that people always assume that others are straight, I suppose I do this as well, i thought everyone at work knew I was gay (I thought it was obvious!)

Hahahah that's awesome. Whenever I say that most of my exs have kids people ask if they're mine and I say 'there's no way they are' but I think that comes across as an ->-bleeped-<- thing to say and they go 'well you never know for sure'. They also just assume I have sex with all my girlfriends too, which most of them I didn't. People also think that I'm homophobic just because I'm a straight male, it's odd.

Hah, nice one. But yeah, people do always assume others are straight. Weird.

I'm guilty of that unfortunately.

That's a pretty reasonable assumption, it's not like half the population is gay haha

Haha, great story man... it's the little things for sure.

hahaha that's hilarious. isn't it weird that a lot of people assume that because you're a male that you're a sleazebag too? obviously not everyone, but since I started presenting as male I've been on the receiving end of so many more comments like that, about random hookups and impregnating women... even/especially from strangers.

[Elijah3291]

yeah haha, it came by such a surprise when she said that, especially because I have never even been with a woman, and I dont think i look like a sleezebag lol

[~RoadToTrista~]

You must have paused or something before saying no lol

[Elijah3291]

yeah I did pause for a sec lol

I've gotten that online a lot. Never IRL yet, but I don't socialize with people really unless it's absolutely necessary, or someone who knows me personally.

I tend to err more on the side of assuming people are gay.  But where I live, a lot of people are, so I suppose it's somewhat reasonable.
