Title: How often do you set off the gaydar?
Post by: antonia on May 01, 2014, 11:07:08 PM
Out of curiosity as a lesbian trans girl, how often do you trigger the gaydar, just about every gay friend I have misinterpreted the the signal that I wasn't transmitting, welleee anhh as far as I know, so how many of you girls seem too to have to many gay friends that just want to pull you hair out vs .....

ah man, tell me about it. its gaydar central for me. i try to act normal out in public but my fem side takes over and i get eyes from the my gay school mates. even my mother says "its ok if your gay, i'll still love you." its kinda gets annoying lol

The last bar I worked in I presented as a guy there. I would say about 80-90% of the staff and patrons thought I was a gay male.  Only one drinker knew I was transitioning

I can't seem to get away from it.  Ever since middle school I've had gay guys after me.  I never acted feminine or flamboyant by any stretch, but they've always seemed to flock to me.  Some are particularly bad, like almost stalker bad.

I never had issues. Then again, I was never in a place where I would expect to run into gay guys... (Conservative home, church, homeschool, Christian college).

That and I don't go out all that much. Never to bars and things.

most of the time, it's nowhere near that bad.  Just flirting with me and hitting on me, but this dude clearly can't control himself.

I've not set anyone's "gaydar" off that I'm aware of. I learned from an early age to fly under most peoples radars in general.

I'm starting to seriously consider wearing a biohazard suit until I transition, lol.  Safety is key.

In all seriousness though, I have absolutely nothing against gay people at all.  I'm just not into guys and it's incredibly awkward when a guy starts invading your personal space.

said it many times before, i absolutely love hanging with gays. they are better to hang with than straight people most time. its just when they start the flirting, sniffing me down like a blood hound or start the stalking is when i start getting agitated and quite upset. Biohazard suit! haha! good one. i should to until my therapist finally admits defeat lol

At least 5 people have asked me If I'm gay....

Ok, one more thing... I have a crush on someone here on Susans, I'm crushing on a pre-everything MTF.

I have set off a few peoples gaydar, mostly at work. It's usually annoying to me but it has also provided me with some nice benefits  >:-)

I don't think I do.  In fact, it shocked my workmates when they learned I'm bi-curious and it shocked my younger brother when he learned I'm TG.  I have no real opinion of this.
