Trying to find love as a transgender man

Devin Gutierrez is a straight man, but he's never dated a straight woman.

A transgender man, Gutierrez grew up as a woman. In high school, he was a bit of a tomboy and came out as a lesbian. But even then, he knew there was something more he was missing.

"Being in a woman's body, I felt trapped," he said. "I would see myself in the mirror and see the feminine features of my body, and I would hate it." A year ago, the 30-year-old began taking testosterone, and his life completely changed.

He expected some of the change: Gutierrez knew his his muscles would grow, his voice would drop and his facial hair would come in. But there were surprising changes as well.

Your post has been stolen.

You can expect to receive it in a “group” e-mail and very likely turned into a meme on Facebook.

"I would see myself in the mirror and see the feminine features of my body, and I would hate it."
I'm willing to bet she was sexually abused.

Is there any good reason the media seems so hell-bent on normalizing this?

There are no good reasons, but there are evil reasons. Among them are the attempts to normalize deviancy and destroy critical thinking. A morally depraved population that is unable or unwilling to question is more easily enslaved.

“Grew up as a woman “

Only an insane person could say that.

Um - nope.

That meant straight women were "looking for something I don't have." And if he dated lesbians, he realized, those women would have to confront their own sexuality as well, because they'd be dating a man.

translation: "I want to guilt people into dating me even if it goes against their own morals, because mostly I really get off on manipulating people." sick...sick....sick

This story presented in the article is as sad as it is disgusting.

How can a transgender be straight?

I understand preference designation, but by definition, he’s a rare bird. Straight (to me) implies mainstream.

No, Gutierrez is NOT a straight man. To say so is a lie.
