To a person like that, I'll bet "bisexual" is just a temporary phase for some straight women in college who will kiss other women in order to flirt with men. *grumbles*
Yeeeeeah. I've gotten that logic from my partner's mom - "But if he likes men, wouldn't it be easier for him to stay a girl?" Erm. Not the issue here :|a
I've never used Craigslist so I have no idea what it's like there, but you gave a perfectly reasonable answer to his question, and he thinks your brain works, so there doesn't seem anything wrong there.
to be fair, I spent ages pre-transition during puberty trying to figure out how I could still feel like a guy and want to be one if I also liked guys, because I had this idea that being a lesbian was a necessary first step to being trans; to the point where I tried to make myself like girls in hopes that I would eventually become lesbian enough to be a guy. It was only at 14 that I had the revelation that this just meant I was a gay guy, and then I freaked out a little because I'd been told all my life that being gay was wrong and will get you sent to hell et cetera. Which probably said something, given that I hadn't had similar qualms about trying to make myself like girls, because that didn't feel gay.
i'm ftm and i never thought i was a man trapped in a woman's body. i just realized i am much more comfortable with myself presenting masculine, and being recognized as such. there are so many interpretations of gender, that really, to explain it to a closed minded person really isn't even worth it.
i'm queer, married to a cis woman, but i've dated just about everyone under the sun. my body and who i chose to be romantic with isn't anyone else's business. if some asshole responded to an add like that i would just hit delete and not give them the time of day. not to mention you used potentially offensive language with the "lesbo" comment.
LOL TROLL. What a dumbass! While it's awesome of you to explain, I hope you don't worry too much about emailing him anything after that. I think your response was pretty professional compared to his dip shittery. ;) But yeah, loser and not worth your time! Good luck finidng interesting people that aren't total dorks!
