I left out some context as the post was getting a bit wordy already: I transitioned long ago, I "pass" incredibly well, and my friend has always known me as a (presumably) cis man. His question was coming from "I've never known a trans person and don't know what I'm supposed to do."
In that case, is the only thing stopping him from hitting on guys his identity as straight?
Yeah, I'm confused by that as well.
Honestly though, this might be the time for a "don't make it weird bro"
