First, let me be clear: this is only my personal experience, and most of it probably doesn’t apply broadly.

That said, I was surprised to discover that many men who are attracted to transwomen are genuinely into what’s often called “girl cock.” The very body part I sometimes wish I didn’t have is exactly what turns these men on —and I don’t mean fetishists or creeps. For the most part, they’re regular guys who actually want to settle down with a transwoman.

Still, it makes me wonder: if I get bottom surgery, will these same men lose interest in me?

I'm a member of a couple of subreddits that are focused on my country or locale.

Many members of these subs make an ESPECIAL effort to address an OP as "bro" whenever they realize that she is a transwoman. ("Cool story bro. Tell us more bro.")

One can surmise that these commenters derive immense satisfaction from such behavior. But what do they really get out of it?

I’ve been on HRT for almost a year now, and I’ve seen noticeable changes in both my face and body.

What I find most interesting, though, is how inconsistently people recognize me when I’m boymoding.

Take two recent examples: a friend’s son, who hadn’t seen me in two years, spotted me instantly from a distance. But a former coworker sat at the table right next to me in a restaurant and didn’t recognize me at all.

These two moments are just a few of many similarly mixed reactions I’ve had. It makes me wonder — what actually causes them?
