Trans Men and Queer Women: Who's This Boy to Date?

"Well doesn't that really limit your pool of potential women?"

Sitting at our favorite beer bar, this was my buddy's response to my statement that I "didn't want to date a lesbian." He had suggested that I take advantage of what he dubbed "my online pull" with queer women.

His comment stands out in my mind because it suggests that straight women don't want to date a trans man (experience suggests this is not as true as most people assume) and, because regardless of the validity of that suggestion, he is right.
