I have another question (and sorry for derailing this thread if I am) but when a straight guy approaches a trans-woman and says "hi. I'm actually straight" isn't there some sort of confusion as to exactly why he's at the gay club?
The reason I ask is because I've read from many trans-women here that they want to be treated as any woman would be treated (and rightly so). But if a man is going specifically searching for a trans-woman in a gay bar is he:
firstly: treating the situation differently since he's basically affirming this a different type of woman
and secondly: running that "yeah right!" move where a gay guy tells you they are straight simply so they can have sex.
I guess what am getting at is: this definition of "straight" seems somewhat loose. How does one establish "straightness" when one is involved in semi-homosexual behavior?
Thanks for answering
