Typically, gay cisgender men are easier for me to get along with, though prolonged exposure makes me feel dysphoric.

The few straight trans men I have interacted with come from another planet as far as I'm concerned. Both those who are stealth and those who are not seem to exude a form of masculinity that repels and repulses me. The most masculine cisgender homosexual will feel safer to me than a straight trans man and I know how strange that must sound given the transphobia rampant in cisgay circles — I have simply been unable to find camaraderie with trans men unless they share my gayness.
