feel like even if i transitioned proper, nobody would see me as a woman even other trans people. And even if i started I’m sure everyone will just brand me as a chaser taking extra steps. Though I’ve just been having real bad luck meeting other trans ppl

I understand your fears, but ngl the thought that people will view you as a chaser for transitioning may be paranoia. If you treat others normally and are just trying to live happily and authentically, theres not much people can unless they are just transphobic. That said, I totally get the fear of being misunderstood

I felt the same way/still slightly feel the same way. Others don't really see me as female except a few really cool friends and other trans people. Not everyone is gonna accept you, but I promise you'll find your community.

It’s just I have lots of experiences trying to interact with other gay ppl, and they come at me sideways over it. Like I had a friend last semester who was a lesbian and I was like hey yk I’m bi and trans, we at least got being part of the same general community in common right? And we hung out but as soon as we weren’t sharing classes she was like I don’t belie you’re either of those things and ghosted on me. Like even when I tell ppl they don’t believe me, despite me trying to show it

And I've had 2 t4t relationships since I started hrt, none of them minded that I was only into men pre transition. No one has called me a chaser. Just be respectful and treat your partners well and you'll be fine
