I am not trans, but, time after time, I always seem to really get along with anyone that isn’t heterosexual. I’m a man, who is attracted to women, but I seem to really share many things in common with such people, like a recent co-worker.
I like open source, I like poetry, I love anime, films, many different music genres, drama and art, philosophy, the beauty of the universe, etc . . . . . . . that are all things I struggle to find in common with most other hetero folks.
I just wanted to know if, well, this is relatable to anyone, like, does anyone have non-trans friends that they get along with much more that the average person, or is this strange?
I don’t think it’s strange, maybe uncommon depending on where you are. One of my (trans woman) best friends is a cishet man. He has said similar things to you in the past, how he has an easier time generally getting along with women and queer people than to other cishet men.
He is an emotionally intelligent person, and is drawn to people who share his interests and level of empathy. This tends to exclude most of the cishet men he knows, but not all.
