      It’s not statistically wrong, as about half of transfems would be willing to date men. However, most of those are also bi or pan, and when the dating environment for men is so full of chuds, women and enbies are more appealing.

        I feel like there’s less of a mental barrier to transitioning if a trans girl likes boys. The gay cis to straight trans is less of a social jump than straight cis to gay trans. If your friends already think you’re gay and are cool with it, they’re more likely to be accepting when you come out as trans. So they probably transition earlier and just get on with straight woman things, like sobbing into a glass of gin because their husband doesn’t take them seriously. You know, instead of shit posting on Linux forums.
