So before anything I'm a trans woman (20), I do not claim to be a real woman or try to put women down or mock them. So please I'd like to ask you to abstein from comments about it because I already know what I am.

I've been trying dating apps because they feel safer than just dating people from your daily life when I was a teen (friends and classmates).

I do have a note on my profile that notifies these men about what I am before they can chat with me, some unmatch, others will say bad stuff before leaving, but another big amount stay. Everything goes fine we chat for a long time, we have a few dates, but in the end they all seem to lose interest at some point.

It just makes me so tired of meeting a lot of different men every month. I don't understand what they want.

I dont need to go further than the 6th word to know the answer. You know it. We know it. Sorry. Just face reality.

This comment has received several reports, but I am not going to remove it – it is polite and to the point in answering OP's question.

Yes, honesty can feel hurtful to some, no, it's not breaking any rules of Lemmy.world or this community (in my view as moderator).

Remember to be excellent to each other.

That's not "the truth," that's blatant transphobia. That is a statement that trans women aren't "real" women.

That's not how I read the comment, and I very much doubt that's how it was intended or how most people interpreted it.
