I’m not really into trans people, so I only date cis men. Not trans men, not nonbinary people, and not women of any kind. However, my former boyfriend is now my girlfriend, and IDK how to tell her I don’t like women without her taking it the wrong way.

I wrote:

Hey, L,

I know you’re probably asleep, but I kind of needed to talk about something. I want you to know that I fully support you coming out as trans. I think it’s good that you’re finally your true self. However, I wanted to say that I’m straight. I’m, unfortunately, not that into women, which you are. I’m sorry, it’s just my preference. Know, please, that we can still be friends and I can support your true womanly self along the way, but I’m not interested in women and I can’t keep dating someone and lying about how I feel.

I hope you understand, E 🙂

    This is a pretty nonconsensual take don’t you think? If OPs partner were into men instead of women would she have to stay in the relationship?

      It doesn’t have to be black and white. This is something you discuss together, to see where each partner stands and where the relationship will go moving forward.
