I feel like I’ve ruined all prospects for myself by transitioning. What do I do?

Hey guys - pls no flame I’m just feeling scared

I’ve (25mtf) been on the dating scene for a few weeks now and I’m trying not to get freaked out about the results. I live in a very queer city, but I’ve only ever received attention from gay men. I love and support them, but I’m very sapphic. I don’t mind the idea of femme t4t, but I’m a bit scared of the prospects in my area. I don’t know.

I’m trying very hard not to be desperate, but I think I might be overly picky at the same time. I’m getting out there as much as I can and all that - for myself more than anyone else - but I get lonely!

I don’t drink in excess, I don’t smoke, and I’m strictly monogamous. My ideal day is in a library or cafe! I don’t pass as a woman, but I think I give off definite “trying” vibes. I workout, shave regularly, wear make up, dress femme/androgynous, and I look nonbinary.

At the end of the day, I just don’t see anyone really falling for me. I know bi and pan people exist, but it’s been a long time since I’ve had any luck. I’m taking it slow. I’m not getting my hopes up. I just hope I find my person someday.
