SOME people assume transgender men are lesbians who couldn't handle being gay. They really think a female would go through all the hassles of transitioning to male just so she could trick other women into sleeping with her.

That just isn't the case at all, and as a transgender man, I find it highly offensive and presumptuous. They know nothing about me. I haven't gone through this to trick women. I much prefer tricking men.

Of course, that wasn't my initial plan when I started on testosterone as a sophomore in college.
