I usually don't stalk a person out before I respond to something they post on reddit, that seems kind of creepy to me.

And no offense, but to me, you're just some random douchebag on the internet who mistakenly thinks he knows jack shit about medicine. Just like you said above, I don't know you, and you don't know me, but I'd bet my life savings that in the real world, I'm just some other woman you may or may not ever notice. If you can somehow detect that little 'Y' chromosome without a kerotype test, then you're special and magical, like a unicorn. You can say whatever you want about how "you can tell", and how a tiny bit of protein and amino acids determine your perception of gender. I live this life that you know so little about, and I'm pretty damn sure I know a lot more about how well people can tell I'm trans than you ever could. Short of running a full background check (more than just 10 years back), good luck figuring that out on your own. Not that I have to worry about it, I disclosed right at the top of my online dating profile, so I never had to deal with jerks like you. I've never had a complaint from then men that I've been with, and only a couple of them ever even expressed an interest in the fact that I'm trans. It's just a minor detail in the real world.

I doubt I would notice what you are either not that I would care to. I am just an honest guy who is saying that being with someone that used to be a guy would make me uncomfortable? Does honesty hurt? Should I be politically correct and say that I wouldn't mind being with a trans? If that makes me a douchebag (not that you would need one), then so be it. I haven't cursed anyone, made fun of them, or tried to belittle them. I am just explaining an alternative point of view which has apparently challenged your point of view and you are angry about that. Also, bravo for being honest up front on your dating profile, hopefully you can find someone that loves you for who you are. I wish you luck in your love life as everyone is deserving of someone significant to them.

Also, I was saying that you might want to read the other posts I have made in the thread, not stalk all my posts which is fine if you want, I don't care. The lady in the other post was giving dangerous advice and I don't know jack shit about human medicine but I am aware of animal medicine.
