The feeling I was often left with from virtual dating was frustration, until I met my current companion a year ago (who is a cishet man). There is nothing more that I want to see than fulfilling and genuine relationships for my fellow trans woman, so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to put together some thoughts to assist bridge the gap between cishet men and their des By Matt Kailey A reader writes: “I am a lgbtq+ man and have no doubts really about that.
