Tired of being someone’s spirit guide/inspiration
Well now here’s an interesting thread.
It's getting to me how common that's been for me. that now I know over 5 or so people that have transitioned. It only gets to me because I am exclusively attracted to men and it's so common that it has me wondering what it is about me that makes this so common.

And I feel selfish and shitty for having the reaction I do because I want to be happy for people, but the commonality of this makes me feel uneasy and wonder why that is. Ultimately I'm happy they found themselves.

I'm always very confused by why these people just show up with a different gender and expect me to swallow it like we didnt' have sex and I wasn't attracted to them specifically because of how manly I saw them. It's always just this weird "hey" and I'm expected to accept it

Ahhhhhh don’t you love that fifth one? “One of the things I’m coming to terms with in life is that I am going to be seen as this amazing inspiring fascinating person to a lot of people and that’s as deep as any relationship they have with me will go”? I know I do. I love it for its hilariosity and I love it for its evidentiary worth. It can be everyone’s “NOW do you see the narcissism??” resource.
But also…”It’s always just this weird “hey” and I’m expected to accept it.” Oh yes? Is that what it’s always? And you don’t always feel like accepting it? What might that be like, I wonder?
I have a very deep resentment against this idea that because I am transgender I need to accept certain things. I need to be open minded about certain things and I need to just be okay with certain things. I think most people would give cis women some time to adjust.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha yeah right, most people who go “Hey I’m trans” give cis women alllllllllll the time in the world to adjust and never call them hard names or threaten them or ostracize them in any way at all. We’ve been seeing that for several years now.
Like there has been SO MUCH time between then and now that in a way I don't really care. In a way, I support that they've changed and they're happier. It's just hard for me to swallow how common this has become for me and it makes me wonder how many more emails I'm gonna get.

I feel transphobic for having the reaction I have, but at the same time I don't think it's unreasonable to have this reaction when more than 5 people I've slept with have transitioned and had much of the same reaction. They wouldn't spring this on a cis woman the same way.

Definitely not. They treat cis women with the utmost respect and generosity and don’t at all bully or silence them for any reason whatever.
If you’re wondering who Kat Blaque is, Wikipedia can help:

She is adopted.[2] In middle school, Blaque began to question her gender identity and started to identify as genderqueer.[3] She began identifying as a trans woman in college.[4] Blaque graduated from the California Institute of the Arts in 2012 with a BFA in character animation.[1]
Bless.
There’s high self esteem, and then there’s “One of the things I’m coming to terms with in life is that I am going to be seen as this amazing inspiring fascinating person to a lot of people”. Fucking wow.
Right? Narcissism Central.
Aw… too many people have joined the club and the poor tweeter doesn’t feel special anymore. :(
I recently heard a stand-up comic mock the way that phony people have abused the word “amazing,” and now I’m noticing it all the time….
