    Why is it so hard when you're trans?
    Before I came out, I had a lot of people wanting to date me.
    Since I came out, I've been with one person who I met in high school because we were both trans, him being FTM, which ended shortly before he went to college.
    It seems like everyone wants a girl who was born a girl or a boy who was born a boy, not any combination of the two. And anyone who does want to date me now wants to because I'm trans (which, to be honest, I wouldn't mind at least once since I am curious what it would be like to physically be with someone, anyone, in case I happened to die tomorrow).
    But is it so impossible to find someone who can actually have a real relationship with someone who isn't whole?

    It will be hard, because we do not have the "right" genitals. For instance, a gay man might not want a Trans man because he does not have a penis. This is the reason some non-bisexual/pansexual people will not want to be with us.

    Can I just give you both some hope.. I am pansexual cause I know that I can see myself in a relationship with either a man or a woman who see themselves as they are biologically and also someone who is trans gendered wether it be MTF or FTM as I see more then what's on the outside, I care more about the inside.. So just know there are others out there who feel the same and you will find someone.. It might take a while and you might feel its hopeless and will never happen, but that right person is out there for you.
