"However, I've come to find that I only feel more and more ashamed about myself when it comes to finding potential new partners, especially straight women. I feel like I am leading them on or trapping them when I have to end up telling them about my transition.
"I often find myself feeling like I'm just not good enough, since I'm not like most guys, or that I'm not really what they want. All in all, it makes me feel hopeless about dating. My question then is this: Are transmen resigned to perpetually dread this kind of thing? Are there any chances for a transguy to find a straight woman, instead of, perhaps, looking for only bisexual women, who would then at least have some kind of physical attraction to us?"
