The Girl Who Has To Lie

#me to see selfies,

#microfiction to read my lil stories

#dyingthoughts for my random rambles

Like okay, you'll get tons of likes and matches, which is cool. And you get this buzz of confidence that maybe you pass or maybe you don't, but you're still cute. But then you're messaging a guy and he seems cool and then oop! He stops talking out of the blue. Or he un-matches you. Or he says something completely insane. And of course he did one of these things because he actually read your bio for the first time.

And the thing is, you can put "Trans Woman" at the very top, with the hope that he sees it, but he is just swiping right. So when you actually match he hasn't read that but you can't know that of course. You can only hope and assume that he knows what you are. So then your hopes get up that there's cute guy who is actually into you, and the circumstances of your birth don't matter to him, but that isn't true of course. And no matter how long you talk, or even if you somehow end up going on a date you know that you're an imperfect woman. That at any point he is willing to drop you for a woman who can "give him children", or whatever.
