As a trans woman, I feel like it's utterly pointless to hope for love anymore. The men I've encountered are either sleazy perverts I fend off or vacillating wimps that ghost you. I've never dated because I've had to deal with too many of the former too regularly. It's all futile. I'm going to be invariably alone. Why do men make it so hard? It seems like men just want to have sex and have their ego stroked. It's never gonna happen for me. Never.
