    I have been seeing these polls on the internet asking if people would date someone who's transgender. Most people on the threads have said no and I was wondering what people here would say.

    Yes, I probably would. But I'd have trouble dating someone who was in the process of transitioning, because I'd feel they changed so much and I may not. However, if I was close to them, maybe I would date them. Personally, physical attraction doesn't make me want a relationship, emotional attraction does. If I was emotionally attracted to anyone, I would date.

    Yep. Not much else to say, just yes, why not.

    I love trans men, and don't particularly care if they fully transition or not. They're boys, and I like boys!

    A woman yes, a man... That's a different story. At the end it's all about who is inhabiting a body, still right now I'm not that much into men, trans or cis. One night stands or FWB maybe, but I dont want to go beyond that.

    Yes I doubt I would care very much. The Seeker summed up how I feel about it perfectly in his comment -
    "I love trans men, and don't particularly care if they fully transition or not. They're boys, and I like boys!"

    This is usually a touchy subject... But the EC community is more likely to give interesting and respectful answers.

    I expect for some people it may depend on where the person is in the transition process. And some trans people will never get bottom surgery, which can be a dealbreaker for people who just aren't attracted to the genitals of the opposite sex -- which is perfectly valid. The only thing that's problematic when you refuse to date someone specifically because they're trans.

    As for me, I would date a trans person, binary or not. I would probably prefer that person to have reached a point in their transition and out status that they're comfortable with, because I like to date people who have their shit together and aren't too stressed out or depressed, but that's got nothing to do with their being trans, exactly. I have the same "requirements" of cis people. I wouldn't dump someone because they transitioned while we were together.

    Yep, cute guys are cute guys. Doesn't really matter to me if they're cis or trans cute guys, I'm sure we can make it work.

    I dunno. I mean, from an emotional point of view it probably wouldn't matter so much (if at all), but from a physical point of view, I'd find it hard, when we become intimate - unless they have fully transitioned.

    I don't know any trans people in real life - I couldn't really say for sure.

    No but that's not out of prejudice, just not physically attracted. Can't really help what I'm physically attracted to.

    I'd like to say yes. In theory, yeah. A trans man is a man too. After transitioning, I really wouldn't care one way or another. Before that though, I dunno. I have yet to come across a trans guy who was interested in me, though, so I can't say for certain.

    It's a nice idea in theory, but in reality, I probably only would if they were completely post-op.

    This thread make me hopeful!

    I would date another transgender if I'm attracted to them and we fit well together mentally.
