Do girls like MtF?

I'm a cis lesbian and I'm going out with an MtF trans girl. I also have a friend who's in a similar position to me, cis/trans lesbian relationship, so it's not uncommon! ^-^

At the end of the day, if a girl likes you she likes you, if she doesn't she doesn't. You being trans should have nothing to do with that. As cheesy as it sounds just be yourself and wait for the right girl to come along.

 

It wouldn't bother me. I mean if there's a connection there then nothings getting in the way lol. But don't worry about it. If girls don't like you because of that, they're not the girls for you!!

 

there seems to be less of an issue with girls accepting MtF than gay guys with FtM, or am i making incorrect assumptions? i've read some of the accounts of transphobia and ignorance experienced by gay FtM on apps like ****** and s***** , which was kinda surprising and disappointing. i know it's ****** and all but some attitudes really fuck me off.

(edit, mmk, apparently can't name certain dating apps. read the rules, guy.)

 

I do.

 

I'm dating a gorgeous trans girl who I love to bits. ^_^

 

Don't worry ! At the end of the day you are as much of a woman as we are, and while I have never fallen for a trans girl yet, I sure as hell saw many that I found drop dead gorgeous so had I probably gotten to know them better and all, who knows ?

 

There are girls who will and girls who won't. Just keep your head up, if you get rejected by someone then they obviously aren't for you.

 

I find transgender girls attractive, but I guess I am not really the target for this - I don't find gender to be so much of an issue, and I'm trans... But still, yeah. <3

 

Some do. Some don't. That's just how it is.

 

Sure. I do anyway.

There's a lesbian at my school dating a transgirl who's barely even started to transition.

 

It seems to really depend on your circles. While it may have improved recently, I've been reading through Julia Serano's "Excluded" and her chapter on dating was rather sobering. At least in the circles she has tried to frequent, and at the time the essay was written (2010 I think?), there was a good amount of squick coming from the lesbian communities in her area. Enough that her commentary was that she was only dating bisexual women and straight/bisexual men... and not by choice.

I do thank Miko and Maddy for their responses though. Because like jewell, I've been having the same concerns and doubts, in part fueled by Serano's actual experiences.

 

In my experience lesbian/bisexual women are usually pretty open to things of this sort.

 

I'm interested in girls in general, not just cis ones. I don't really separate the two. I could fall in love with a transwoman the same way I'd fall in love with a ciswoman. I care more about who she is on the inside, so I don't see much of a difference.

The only issue I would have in dating a transwoman would be if she never planned on surgically transitioning. I do want to have sex one day, and I just wouldn't be comfortable doing it with a penis involved. If we both just never had sex, it wouldn't be fair to either of us.

If she was pre-op and still planned on transitioning one day, I could still date her, we'd just have to wait for sex (which isn't a big deal; I don't plan on having sex until I'm insanely close to someone, anyway).

 

I sure do.

 

Was married to one for 15 years. We had three kids.

 

It will limit your relationship pool a bit. Some girls will, some won't.
