why are people i just meet and met since transition so lovely, friendly and just see me as me, when everyone else is just awkward at best, and a cunt at worst. i think when i move in with my partner i'll cut off the past apart from my parents and go stealth, fuck it

It's just seems like that's how it goes. Once someone knows you're trans they know and in our society you arent typically thoughts of as a real woman and people treat your differently. Same thing happens to me except the few people I've let know and still talk to are cool about it and not awkward at all, seems like my old guys friends (which I didn't have many of) all treat me horribly different, are dismissive of me, or just stopped talking to me. I remember seeing one I used to know at the grocery and he said "I'd ask you to hang out again but it would be pretty weird", he also told me to try pussy before I have my dick cut off.
Basically you can either have people know and treat you differently and be able to talk about trans stuff/your past or hide everything and get treated like a normal fucking person.

same reason you will always look weird to people you knew if you were 400 lbs and now 150, but not to new people. is it really that hard to understand?
>be me
>realize I can never come out to my mom as bi because she's a southern gal that thinks 'There's only gay and straight no in between. Just people that are confused'

Being in the bi mater race is hard

>Be me, in-denial bi MtF
>No interest in sex with women, actually repulsed when they had shown interest in me (that may seem strange since I say I'm bi, but I honestly think it's because they had been viewing me as a male, and the female body does arouse me a bit)
>Swore celibacy for life
>Now I'm out of denial, and I realized I'm attracted to men and developed an actual libido as a result
>Looks like I'll be keeping that oath of celibacy anyway, considering how ugly it seems I will be as a woman

Because it's hard to see someone as a different person like that. You just always see people as the person you originally knew them as.
Like, I'm completely socially liberal. I'm totally accepting of everyone and don't treat anyone different based on race/gender/sexuality. But if I knew someone as a man and they suddenly came out as a woman, honestly it would be hard to see them as a woman. It would be hard to stop seeing them as the person I knew. It's just how people are.
