The only day I was hanging out with my friend, Blanca. Blanca had I met her 3 years earlier would have been my ->-bleeped-<- hag. She's a very cute girl who kind of she admits, let herself go. So we were at the thrift store, which is our major hang out. And this guy started hitting on me and asking me for my number. It happens often at the thrift. Then as we were leaving she said, "He didn't even look at me. But he hit on you...did he know you are a MAN?"
On top of that, everywear her and I go(the mall, grocery store, etc) men constantly look my way and check me out. Then she is upset about how men don't talk with her ever. She'll then tell me I am a pretty girl and I look better than her. She saw my guy pics and she was like, "You were one hot ass pretty guy".
Now this doesn't typically happen with my two former fruitflies. Fruitflies and ->-bleeped-<- hags are two different kinds of women in the gay community. Fruitflies tend to be very attractive and my two best "sisters" were my fruitflies as a guy. One works in Smashbox as a sales associate, the other has held management jobs and is a devout Muslim. They both knew me as a gay man and had to deal with the constant drama I had with other men I was dating. Sarah actually helped me transition to who I am now with her cold hard honesty. Since although I was out of the closet, I never did drag which would have helped me more. My Mom would have killed me.
Now when the two very attractive girls and I go out in public. We all get hit on equally. I think everytime we go out, we find men hitting on us all. They never remind me of what I am and how guys don't know. In fact, Sarah's ex and I met and he wanted to take a pic of me cuz he thought I was beautiful. Sarah of course, was smart and didn't tell him.
But anyways, I think ciswomen can be incredibly catty when it comes to transition.
