That’s the post. I had only dated bisexual men before and it was kinda nice to know that a person that really only finds women attractive finds me attractive. Chime in if you want to share similar moments.

    regardless, isn’t it weird to doubt the reason’s for someone’s erection when the reasons are being celebrated by OP? Like, if someone feels affirmed and happy about something, why suddenly apply skepticism towards it - even when warranted it’s still rude, and in this case it doesn’t actually seem that likely that an erection was due to “emotional excitement” …

    That’s the thing about trans women, you can’t gaslight them about what it was like living as a boy or man, they also had involuntary erections and know what that’s like. When cuddling on a date, an erection is probably related to attraction … this doesn’t really need to be litigated (and if there is still a desire to litigate that and raise the nuances of why erections come about, it’s still basic politeness to recognize this isn’t the appropriate moment to do that in).

    Trans people feel enough insecurity, tbh.
