Would You Date a Transsexual?

Post Reply New Topic

I have in the past and it wasn't something that bothered me. When I was younger I considered myself bisexual, though, so at this point they'd have to at least identify as the gender I like. Even if they hadn't transitioned or didn't plan to, I think it would still have a fair chance if the dynamic was something that feels more "normal" to me... and hetero man-woman relationships felt off even outside the bedroom.

I'm curious if your aversion to men includes FtM men? I have been speaking to a woman who was raped by a heterosexual man, and now has lots of trouble being around them. BUT, she doesn't feel the same way around gay men or FtM men. The former is understandable since the danger she feels from cisgender men is sexually based and gay men won't want her sexually so there's no danger, but transmen may still be interested in her as a woman and yet, she doesn't extend that distrust and fear toward transmen as she does cis men. I assumed it was because so many transmen are socialised female at first and thus, aren't wired with that predatory behaviour that some cismen display toward women. They are also less likely to "dominate and be #1" as you put it. Also, given FtM bottom surgery, being raped by a transman is virtually impossible.
How does that translate with you?

As someone with pansexual, I would date anyone regardless of gender. It doesn't matter if they are cisgender, transsexual, bigender, gender fluid, genderless, etc. Gender doesn't matter. We just have to be compatable. I'm dating a transsexual woman right now.

Gender fluid? What the heck is that?
It doesn't matter to me, as long as that person truly loves and understands me.
