The “Convenience” Of Being Gay And Trans

Hey guys,

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of content online centred around the “convenience” of being gay and transgender. These videos talk about how great it is to not have to do prep and to be able to bottom spontaneously.

I think there is a misconception that all transgender men are comfortable with using their natal anatomy. For instance, most porn featuring trans men sees them participating in vaginal sex. Likewise, a lot of cis men pursue trans men because they want to top them.

These misconceptions fail to recognize the diversity of the trans male experience. Lots of trans men enjoy topping, only engage in anal, identify as sides, or have had bottom surgery.

While I’m happy for guys that can use their natal anatomy, I think these conversations can easily become fetishizing. Cis men flock to the comments talking about how “hot” trans men are and how they want to experience being with them.

I know it isn’t that serious, but as someone who has had bottom surgery, I can’t help but feel uncomfortable when these topics come up.

What are your thoughts?
