    im not a transguy but that is very strange indeed, you should be able to date whomever you want or not and not be targeted at all, sexuality is complex and whom you date is your decision, not that of others

    I guess to some people it might seem like you don't think Transwomen are women too. But hey everyone has their preferences, it doesn't make you a bad person or anything. Just ignore them if you can.

    I never even knew this was such a thing, but then, I don't identify as transsexual and have little awareness of the issues within the community. If it's some sort of "obligation" between members of the TS community, it's probably a load of bull. You have the right to prefer whichever type of woman you want, and unless you're personally involved with the person targeting you, their opinion shouldn't matter at all.

    Personally, I prefer not to date women. :icon_wink

    I guess your statement could be read wrong - I understand you are expressing that you have a preference, but it could come off as "transwomen aren't real women".

    I also have to agree with Boyfriend - with a lot of transitioned women, you might not know the difference.

    I used to feel the same way. But hey, even preferences can be blown up in your face. Found myself attracted to a number of transwomen.

    If I may be honest, I tend to prefer men in general, both cis and trans*. And I don't find myself typically attracted to heterosexual women- I tend to prefer pan or bisexual partners. So we all have preferences, I suppose.

    ...But if you judge a transwoman on her lack of being able to carry a child, where does that leave you as a transman?

    Calling me shallow and transphobic because Of my preference you don't see me calling straight ciswomen that, It depends on the reasoning

    About the not telling... so for you it´s once a man always a man? I don´t get that, I should think she would always have been a woman, just got a body that doesn´t fit the inside. But hey, I´m not trans, but I would think I would want to hide my past, after all if I would be trans I just would have adjusted my body at some point, not changed myself.
    I can see how a transman would have to tell, due to visible scarring here and there, but that´s not the same for females as far as I know.

    And you realize there are women that can´t have children for various reasons?

    Anyway, if you don´t want to date transwoman, that´s cool. No need to defend your choice, I would say.

    No I see them as women I can't get past their body, Either way I don't want to date somebody else who is transitioning, Not my cup of tea, Either way she better tell me that's not cool to hide it I don't care if you pass, And I'm not dumb I know some women can't have children but God knows the desires of my heart so that was irrelavent to say

    Not talking about transitioning, but someone who has already transitioned and therefor you won´t notice any difference with a natal woman.

    As for having children: If it only were that easy that God provides what you wish for.

    You do realize that you won´t be fathering the child? Some other guy will be involved, or at least his sperm.

    Again, I don´t care about your choices, it´s not critique.
