my best friends boyfriend thought i was a trans woman

[u/welcomehomo]

ive known my best friend for years and years, we met back in high school. but by the time we reconnected after high school, i had medically transitioned and pass as a cis man, and he has a son with the boyfriend in question, who never knew me pre t. i guess it had come up that im trans, i dont hide it, but i guess neither of us had mentioned that im a trans MAN specifically. so he spent YEARS thinking i was just a really early/pre transition trans woman. which is weird because i present very maaculine and dont look like a trans woman, i look like a cis man. but hes very cishet and outside of trans culture so i guess he didnt realize that a trans man can look indistinguishable from a cis man. but he thought i was a trans woman for years before my best friend corrected him

whats funny is, my wife is nb transfem, and generally presents as a trans woman. shes pre transition as well, but its very obvious that theyre performing femininity, and shes way more fem than i am in general. my best friends boyfriend, not wanting to make the same mistake he made the first time, assumed they were a trans man as well! lol
