    Now, don't let the fact that I am a transsexual sway you in anyway. I'm curious about this, so I want people to be honest. There may be other transsexuals on the site who are also curious about this.

    I'm also not going to push anyone to post. Those who do, however, can post their answer with a brief description if they wish. Trust me when I tell you that I understand if people are iffy about transsexuals. We can be a complicated bunch and difficult to live with. A lot of us suffer from various forms of emotional and confidence issues, so we can sometimes be a bit "high maintenance."

    At the end of the day, however, we're just as human as everyone else. We desire companionship. We want someone to love us.

    I'll start by answering. Yes, I would date another transsexual, only another MTF. Why? FTM are men and I'm a lesbian. I have no interest in men, even if they are in a female body.

    Case by case basis. Or appearance wise, if I find him or her attractive. I'll be honest and say I don't think I can be with anyone transitioning though. Just one way or another. If this is asking in regards to if you'll find someone, you definitely will. There's someone for everyone in life.

    Sure, why not? I had a crush on an FTM person a year or two ago so... I guess that's my opinion on the subject. :slight_smile:

    I've never had the opportunity, but a while ago, I though this trans guy at our college's GLBT club was flirting with me, and my interest was piqued, so I think I'd be able to do so. But being attracted exclusively to males, I picked FtM only.

    Yes, and I have- my first boifriend was a transguy. I didnt realise that he was trans at first- just thought he was really butch lesbian. I really didnt know how to handle him at first and i couldnt understand why he would like me to use male pronouns if he's clearly in female body___ yes i was so green. But i have come to a point where we understand each other very well and he was very patient with me and tried to explain- and i also did a lot of reading to try and understand him.
    Besides not understanding him so well at first- i still found him ridiculously hot and he probably became even more appealing as i got to understand him better.

    It was also kind of hard in trying to understand what it makes me if im dating a man- and pretty much just gave up onusing the lesbian label. if somebody i dont know asks me if im a lesbian, i say yes but it's so much more to me.

    anyway like somebody before me said- yes you can love anyone without thinking about gender(or some can :icon_wink)-- but for me its his strange gender and exactly the fact that he is a transman that made him so delicious :slight_smile:

    Absolutely. In fact, i would really love to date one.

    Either gender.

    But i would have to like them on an intellectual level first.

    I chose "maybe", and it's kind of hard to explain why, except to say that there are very few people I find attractive to begin with - and when I do, the reasons are often surprising even to me. So I can imagine situations where I wouldn't find someone attractive in part because they're trans*, but I can also imagine situations where I would. If that makes any sense.

    Assuming they have a personality which I like, I would date a female to male transsexual if they've already undergone most or all of their change.

    Sure, why not? If I love the person enough it doesn't matter what their gender is.

    I've been asking myself this recently.
    Im following a fair few FtM on tumble who post pictures of themselves and how they're changing from TT and stuff.

    It's really interesting and I have to admit finding a few attractive.
    I'm still confused on FtM downstairs surgery (being too scared to google such things) but I'd say after getting to know them and being in a relationship, then yeah sure.
