Gender Expression & Attraction: Masc & Fem

I'm a feminine trans guy and I'm attracted to feminine or masculine women and feminine men. I definitely don't think the "opposites attract" rule is a strict rule. I know a lot of people in femme/femme or butch/butch lesbian relationships, and I'm sure the same happens with gay men. Just because people who don't follow the "opposites attract" rule might not be quite as common certainly doesn't mean it's anywhere near unheard of.

 

I second what Jesse said.

In the lesbian community that I've seen there seems to be more femme/femme relationships than butch/femme relationships. And butch/butch relationships are definitely out there though not as common.

Sadly, there are many misconceptions about butch women. And way too much judgment within the lgbtq community in general.

Generalizations never prove true 100% of the time. And usually far less often than that.

 

I'm a trans girl and I'm attracted to masculine women.
I would also say I'm a bit more masculine than feminine.

I tend to use terms like "masculine" and "feminine" pretty loosely, since those terms are totally loaded and they change depending on the cultural lens you view them through.

Anyway, for me it isn't a case of opposites attract, exactly. In fact, the people I find most attractive just have the same qualities I appreciate in myself, but in (from my perspective) larger quantities. I fall head over heels for a girl if she's stronger and more assertive than me—and I don't consider myself to be the embodiment of weakness or submission. So it's not like opposites attracting. More like, me being attracted to the things I like best about me. Egotism in other words.

You see, this is why I'm single.
