    I can’t help notice a certain number of “butch lesbians” and “sis men” just saying “fuck it, I’m the other gender and straight” and going all the way.

    That’s either phrased poorly, or a frankly insane take on gender.

      Friend’s FtM dad transitioned in his late 60s, after it became more socially acceptable. Before that, he was just a very masculine presenting lesbian. Now he’s a guy - a straight man in what is effectively a trans-het relationship.

        A personal journey that depends on far more than sexual orientation, and that obviously cannot be generalized.

        If you made that clueless comment to a trans person IRL, I wouldn’t be surprised if they punched you in the face over it.
