Topic	Should a trans person reveal they are trans before a date?
Musourenka 12/28/19 8:28:14 PM #271:	DrunkieBrewster posted... Not having your time wasted is a shared concern, so why not respect it by being up front before the date? That's mutual respect. Most people don't like the idea of spending time and money on somebody deliberately withholding information that could make or break the date plan, so why play silly games? Dating is not easy for trans people. They are in a minority within a minority. There's little that can be done about finding a mate with ease when you're trans.
