    just curious whether or not people would date those who biologically are different from their interests but identity-wise match :slight_smile:

    I would date a trans woman if she were post-op.

    Pre-op or no-op probably not. I can still find pre-op women physically attractive, but it usually leads to sexual incompatibility pretty quick, which isn't fair on our relationship.

    Absolutely. I'm still in the process of discovering my sexuality right now so will require some patience from partners of any gender but I don't see any reason it couldn't work. I tend to find the whole concept of gender pretty confusing anyway, or at least the labels and connotations that go along with it, so I'm open to anyone if our personalities match.

    I think he's asking straight and gay people, guys. But since everybody tells their opinion, I'd definitely date a trans person.

    There are trans people who I would date, but in general, I would rather date a woman who is biologically female.

    Honestly I have no idea. I've known only 1 trans person and that was a long time ago but I think it just depends on the person and I suppose you can never know who you are going to fall for. if you love someone, it shouldn't matter, so I think I would be open for it

    yes! i think if someone straight up says they'd never date a trans person then they need to think critically about why they're making a generalization like that when the trans community is just as diverse as the cis community

    I've thought about this, because I kind of have a crush on one, and it is a hard question. At first I'd say no, but as I think about it, my opinion sways between yes and no. I's say mostly yes, I mean, it's worth a shot, right?

    Because I'm 99% straight, I can say that I don't think it's likely I would date a trans man. That said, I know many who are very handsome, so I wouldn't close my mind to it. I just don't think the odds are good I'd ever meet one where the chemistry was just right, or where I could compartmentalize his anatomy.

    Sure, I would! I actually have a crush on a trans youtuber girl u//w//u I've had people questioning me because of this, cuz most people know me as homosexual, and according to them there's no way someone who's only sexualy attracted to their same gender could be attracted to a trans person, but my best logical explanation is that when I see a trans girl, who (by her actions, maybe clothing and general appearence, and/or other factors) I read as I girl, I'm just as likely to fall for her as I am to fall for any other girl. And about sex, I don't actually know how that would go, but I'm actually a virgin and don't think sex is a think I need for now, so I don't think it would be a problem.

    of course I would, and I even did.
    for me, a male is a male. it doesn't matter to me how his body looks like.

    I'd personally prefer someone biologically female.
