You also said it would be problematic to you if a there were a (straight) man on the site who was only into straight women
Comments have been made all over both sites throughout the years
Met said it in a thread not that long ago...can't remember the thread...maybe the expectations thread? I'll find it.

Just for the record... yep except it wasn't really
about straight men, but a response to you're questions why does the community use the word "transman" instead of man when referring to men of trans experience and also why femmes may be attracted to transmen but not cis straight men.

That said there aren't any men who aren't of a trans experience here (that I know of nor have I seen any before), not because it's law but because they don't feel any connection apparently. Perhaps this is part the reason a few femmes feel a connection to transmen and not other men. Maybe sometimes, it's really a lot simpler motive (rather than making a distinction of traits) or what-ever when people make the distinction of transman rather than man... even just that some peeps be making things clearer for their own personal reasons b/c some might wonder why there's a man of non-trans experience on the site if they never mention he's of trans experience?

Ok, that's outta the way...
