Would You Date a Transsexual?

Post Reply New Topic

I would. Though; as with my taste in women, I have my preferences visually. So I guess it's a bit of "as long as she's pretty". As someone already pointed out in a sense "I'm not attracted to women with masculine features". Well, maybe I am to some extent...

That said; I do want to stress that I feel that getting along on a personal level and having matching interests is a good start, having physical attraction comes into play after that. If I can get along fine with someone on all those levels, I'm not going to be fussy about what might be going on down there (I think; never had any experiences with that).

But I suppose, as something I pointed out in another thread on sexual preference; I think I'm heteroflexible in that regard. I just have no interest in men or strong masculine features.

I would not expect a heterosexual male to show any interest in me.

I personally wouldn't become involved romantically with a transsexual. There is more to attraction than psychological construction; physical construction matters as well. A transwoman is still physically a man, and a transman is still physically a woman. There is no method that can TRULY alter this fact.

The topic of TG people brings me up to something else; What exactly is it that people think is unattractive to them? Is it a woman with masculine features (or in other cases, a man with feminine features).

Or is it merely the idea that, if you get involved with someone, that there might be something else going on down there which you have no interest in and would make you feel you're questioning your sexuality and preferences?

A friend of mine doesn't have any interest in TG people. He thinks most, if not all, look way too masculine. Then I showed him a picture of an adult TG star, just out of the blue, without telling him what the deal was. The topic of transgender didn't even come up at that moment. Sometimes I just browse Tumblr if my friend is around and we end up checking out some naked women for the heck of it; nothing wrong with 2 guys having beers and checking the meat market once in a while. By now I think that's what Tumblr is for, lol. Anyway; so I showed him a picture of her face, her upper body and all and asked him "would you tap that?" and right away he said "she's pretty cute". So then I showed him another pic of her, revealing she's actually a TG performer. I never saw someone so confused, lol. (the performer in question is Sarina Valentina; preference in women and looks aside, though one can argue she has a better porn look than some born females in the industry)

I also remember once having a discussion with someone about how he pointed out that he's fine with it as long as it has female private parts. I'll just say this; Buck Angel.

I'll show myself out again

What, exactly, do you mean by "physically"? If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...

then it still may be a deformed goose.

Do you check every apparent mallard you see, in case it's a deformed goose?

thankfully i am not interested in ducks in that way, so i would not bother.

Who said anything about a duck fetish? If you saw a being that looks like a mallard, would you consider it to be a mallard, or would you say "oh, but it might be a goose"...

But if you find a woman attractive, you will check to see if she's trans, and if so will retcon yourself to have never found her attractive?

I would and I wouldn't... Haven't been in enough relationships to give a true opinion.

I have already. I think that I would only date a MTF that had not gotten bottom surgery though, (that's what she was) because I would not be sexually attracted to the others. I find the current surgically constructed penises unsatisfactory... or I would consider getting one myself. And I have no interested in vaginas. Er... vaginae.

False analogy. A post-op transsexual may "look like a duck," but beyond that, it fails to meet the remaining criteria for being a duck. The limitations of modern medical technology only allow for, at best, a superficial modification of the human form. There is no means of actually altering one's sex. That is pure science fiction. To attempt to do so would merely render you, as b9 somewhat crudely put it, a "deformed goose."

This.

Most straight people want men with heavy masculine features and women with heavy effeminate features.

I got told that I was too effeminate for gay men and too masculine for straight men, so that is why I choose bisexual men for relationships. They tend to be the ones that find us transgendered and transsexual people attractive.

What, then, do you mean by sex?

How about we focus on your definition of sex, since clearly your intention is to destroy mine.

That escalated quickly.
