So I am a little on the nosey side and I wondered what people thought about dating a trans person. To be more specific, people who only like one gender dating pre-everything trans people. I'm also wondering what trans people's experiences are with dating. Were a lot of people put off by what sex you were? Did people try to date you BECAUSE you're trans?
I wouldn't do it. Post-op would would be fine however. You'll get a lot of different opinions on the topic.
I feel bad bc I am trans myself but I don't really find myself attracted to any trans guys I've seen. Usually they lean towards the feminine side but I really like masculinity. It's not about the genitals I guess... though... I prefer masculinity there too... anyway I don't blame guys if they wouldn't be into me either... ;-; though some are cool with it or willing to make exceptions. I get plenty of male attention just I'm too afraid to tell the guys I do want it to go somewhere with.... So I kind of get anxious and they think I'm rejecting them... bleh
You can't force someone to be open to new experiences and if someone would have issues dating me as a trans guy, I would understand if they were respectful about it. I don't want anyone to tell me I've deceived them by not telling them right away or that I'm not really a guy because I don't have a penis. If they can't see themselves with me because I don't have a penis, whatever. Some people just can't try it. The whole point is just to be appropriate and respectful.
Personally I wouldn't have issues dating someone who's trans pre-op or post-op. Even if I were dating someone who hadn't come out as trans or whatever I'd still support them and be okay with whatever they wanted to do.
I am trans pre-everything so not sure how people would feel dating me but I would date anyone gender doesn't matter to me.
