Hi everyone. The situation I am talking about is where maybe you tried to friends with another trans person but then you find they don't want that from you. They are just hostile to you instead.
I found myself in two situations like that and I found there's really nothing I can do about it. I did the best I could.
Have you ever found yourself in that situation?
I don't think I have, but what comes to mind is where they might be in their transition. If early on maybe they lack confidence to be more outgoing, sort of shy in discussing transition topics. Maybe do not want to discuss them as they are a private thing with them. If later in transition, perhaps would prefer not to hang out in a transgender group, instead preferring to develop cis-gender friends for dating or whatever. Like hiding out among cis-genders so that others would assume that they are too.
I'm just guessing here.
Not really. But continue to be friendly and perhaps your next encounter will yield a more positive result.
