Is it bad that I overlook Mtfs when I comes to dating

Stress finds its way into every relationship whether it be a trans/trans, Cis/trans or Cis/Cis relationship. Relationships in general can be stressful.

You say that you wouldn't be able to deal with. MTF's gender dysphoria while you're having your own but what if you get in a relationship with a Cis girl and she tells you she can't handle your dysphoria? Cis people just don't understand what we go through and it can become hard for them to deal with.At least a trans woman could relate to you. Not saying this would happen for sure if you dated a Cis girl, but it could. You don't have to date a trans women, I'm not trying to make it sound like that. We're attracted to who we're attracted to.

Also, the "straight men" you've asked about dating transwomen, I'm gonna guess they're in high school? (Correct me if I'm wrong) and high schoolers are shallow and those boys probably have no idea what transgender is besides what they've seen on reality tv shows that tend to portrey trans people in a bad light. It's one thing to not want to date a transwomen cause you just aren't attracted to them, it's another to not date them because you think they are less of a woman.

No that would be to stressful, I want what she has and she wants what I have, So why not be with a cisgender female, No offence

this is how i felt before i transitioned, both the women i dated several times had fully transitioned from M2F but i kept feeling they gave up what i wanted and though i do, esp. now, understand that could be seen as offensive, it was where i was at at that time - and they were both much taller than me - and had broader shoulders, but i did like them very much - however i could never let them near me sexually because...............well i dont need to elaborate on that one do I?

When i didnt understand so much how a transperson felt because i thought i was gay, i asked one of the M2F's i dated why she didnt join a group with other transpeople, as she hadnt many friends - she said "why would I want to do that" - then i started to get it..................

I mean its kinda true, Im not trying to offend anyone who happens to be mtf, Its a heas ace on top of head ace, And even what you mentioned, A transwomam would trigger my dysphoria more, It wouldnt happen if I date cisgendered women

Yeah, I couldn't date somone younger than me, I couldn't deal with the headache of ''this person doesn't like me'' turning into an end of the world everyone is against me thing, or the like, so I don't think you're wrong, really. Gender Incongruence, i don't know if its multiplicative or not, never dated another transperson, but we all have things that trigger our nerves.

Another's dysphoria might affect your own, and not wanting to be in a situation like that is okay, just like not wanting to be with an overly dramatic end-of-the-world person, not wanting to be with a sports fanatic never shuts up about hockey person, or not wanting to be with someone who can't stop talking about animals.

Agreed Maria, see there is one problem I have dealt with when dating other tgirls. It's that sometimes some trans like to be all gung ho about being trans, like it's a badge of honor. For me that is like not even the case, so when I was with the few I was with, I was called a self hating trans because I wasn't wearing it on my sleeve and super proud of it. Then there is the dysphoria and jealousy. "You pass better than me, I will never look that good, I will never get my surgery, etc etc" it becomes and all encompassing part of their life and it is just overwhelming and depressing. I realize that not all trans out there are like this and the transactivist4lyfe thing is mostly around the older generation, however sometimes it just becomes too much for me.

The title of this post is kinda telling folks and seems a bit centered around the word "I", appears to be riddled with some kind of pre-judgement.

Don't read into labels what ever they may be, every human being is unique, this community is about diversity and support.

Date who ever you want, really.

I know everyone experiences stress in relationships, And to dragonseeker quit trying to make that oh well transwomen understand no they understand their part, It would be easier period for me to date a cisgendered female, And no that was a grown man who said he wouldnt date a transwoman why would I ask a kid, And again no I would not date a transwomen, Their are different things that I go through than a transwoman, Why are you getting offended,

Like Bellexia said the oh you pass better than me dysphoria, Jealousy, I wouldnt be jealous of a cis woman, And I would even date a woman whos taller than me. Bottom line is a transwomans struggle is different from a transman, Again read through my other post the girl who Im starting to like understands me and shes a straight cisgendered female

I wasn't getting offended, sorry if you thought I was. I stated my opinion, and you got defensive. Idk why you asked this question if you didn't want to hear what others had to say. I wasn't trying to force you to date a MTF I just stated why I thought it'd be easier than a cisgirl which you clearly don't agree with. I'll stop now before I say something mean.

Uh yeah we do. I won't go into it but yeah we do. This is just silly at this point. Heck even I have ways with other mtf's.

First. I woo them, probably by playing the song of my people, then the ancestral Erkel dance.

Then I sing to them, usually a ballad of how I slew 999 ninjas and 1 ghost.

Finally they fall in love with me. Because I am awesome.

Yeah same, at this point it would be far too easy to be mean. I am gonna bow out and let this thread ride into oblivion as that seems to be the current path.

Jay why do you have to argue with everyone? You either want people's opinions or not! We get it your trans and your family don't accept it! Many of us are in your boat! You wasn't born male but there is nothing we can do about that, just accept it and try as live as male as possible or forgot it and get on with our life! I don't think anyone here has the right answer for you

This is more than a friendly warning that things are getting out of hand here, it is a serious warning that it is headed toward a lock down. Saying something obviously hurtful, mean or derogatory about another member, EVEN WITH THEIR ASSURANCE THEY WILL NOT GET MAD is against the most ridgid rules of this place. If a member refuses to post something because they know it is against the rules, it is NOT ok to tell them to post them anyway. I see this as a circular thing where ALL POSSIBLE differences and ideas will be met as we can see they have. In lieu of closing the topic it may be best to just let it die before real damage occurs.

That is my opinion as a member of the MODERATOR STAFF.

"Cisgendered girls don't experience dysphoria" like hell they don't. Why do you think they're so many plastic surgeons and eating disorders? Almost every woman I've ever met has at least some body image issues, many of them falling into the dyshoria category.

If you're attracted to women, and flat out say "I won't date trans women" then you're being a transmisogynist. If you're attracted to women, find somebody awesome who happens to be trans and consider that a "deal breaker" then you're being a transmisogynist.

Lets put in through a different lens. If you're white and say you flat out won't date somebody black then you're being a racist.

If the situation is that you just happen to not run into trans women, that's fine. If you realize that you're assuming everybody you've been attracted to was cis then you might be on the right road to thinking about ideas of gender.

Trans women have as wide of a spectrum of differences as cis women have. And you don't know if somebody is trans or cis until they tell you.

I can understand if there's the "I don't want a/someone else's penis" perspective. There is (in my opinion) a big difference between disrespecting a group and simply not wanting some of their characteristics. I don't want to be with a guy romantically, cis or trans, even though my best friends are guys and I love hanging out with them. I'd rather be with a girl (my girlfriend is also MTF) regardless of her innie/outie status.

Personally, I don't take offense to people who don't want to date a transperson if they want a girl-with-girl-parts or guy-with-guy-parts. There's a big difference between a lack of attraction and disrespect. I'm not attracted to black women. It doesn't mean anything against them.

Or eating dissorders, No offence, everything you said was irrelevant

body dysphoria is body dysphoria, Jay. Not all women get plastic surgry, that's very true. But for you to say that you will only date cis-women because they don't have dysphoria isn't being realistic. The reality is that even cis-women have body dysphoria, sometimes severe. I can understand not wanting a partner that also suffers severe body dysphoria...

I have to burst your stereotype bubble. Cis-women aren't immune to hating their body; in fact they seem to have most of a monopoly on it. I also understand being attracted to the parts as well as the package as a whole. But everyone is different and you can't judge an entire group based on steriotypes.

Link to comment

I just love statements qualified with a "no offence" because it is almost always followed/preceded by something highly offensive. I'm not saying you should or shouldn't date someone who is trans. I merely pointed out a flaw in your statement. Yes, trans people have body dysphoria; it's not unique to our community. Many, many genetic women experience body dysphoria. It's something you should keep in mind if you truly can't deal with someone else's body image issues when you're dealing with your own.

I will, however, most likely not reply anymore on your posts regardless of topic. I really hope you learn to accept yourself and those around you. And that you eventually stop seeing everyone as steriotypes and finally see them as unique individuals. Best of luck on your education and transition.

      While I agree with a lot of the campaign personally, I don't think a government-mandated reduction in childbirth is really necessary. As a young person, I hardly know anyone who wants to be a parent in the future. I think a lot of people will either be waiting a while or not having kids at all, meaning that the number of kids being born will probably decrease. Overcrowding's also mostly an urban issue -- plenty of places in rural America have plenty of space for both people and growing food.    Of course, everyone sees things differently, so I won't necessarily say you're wrong. I just think my generation is a lot less inclined to the family mindset than some that came before us.

      To me, it sounds like a solution searching for a problem.  I believe in the Russian perspective, that oil is abiotic and likely under every part of the Earth's surface.  There's plenty.  "Peak oil" and "climate" are excuses for government control.   As for roads, we use asphalt because tar and bitumen are a byproduct of fuel production, not the other way around.  Asphalt is not a great material, really.  It can also be recycled somewhat and used again.  Notice how road crews grind down existing asphalt into powder? Concrete is a better material for roads.  But in areas like where I live, very little of our roads are paved.  Gravel is a luxury, and a lot of roads are mud.  Same in many "developing" nations.  Pavement is better for transport, but its not like we would die without it.  Lack of pavement might actually be a good thing, as people might stay home more and food might be grown locally instead of relying on transportation.  It would stop this wacky idea of growing everything in California.     I believe the big crisis we face is globalism and government control.  Proposing some scheme to control our families? That's just more of the same.  Even if folks managed to get enough votes (or rig enough elections) to get the power to do that, it won't be as VP or president of the USA in its current 50-state form.

      The months of June has already been planned out for me with only minimal time for sleep between the Trans Chorus Of Los Angeles and the various communities around me that are in the service area of the LGBTQ  Center I was on the Board of Directors of that are having Pride Events, both LGBTQ Pride and Trans Pride stand alone events.

      I've realized that our laptops are using much less plastic than they used to.  They are smaller devices that use less raw materials and are easier to ship and hold up better in shipping than bigger computers with removable parts.  They seem to have gotten rid of the overheating/fan problem for the most part, but there is a performance hit for that.  I use a 10yo desktop computer with a moderate level gaming video card to run 3 monitors.  I'm a producer though and most consumers have no need for that.   I really haven't watched TV since the 80's.  I spend some time researching on the internet and then I spend a lot of time meditating on the objects in my environment and on the streets.  From living on the streets for a year, I've learned that people can say anything and can control you, but the laws of physics and mathematics are outside of that and really even transcend time itself.  After people would not support my music, I built my life as a software engineer based on mathematics and engineering.  I've had a moderately successful career with that and have written code for many different industries.   The problem with stopping oil usage is that if we still need the bitumen to pave our roads and shingle our houses, then what do we do with the gas when we refine it?  There are natural deposits of bitumen, but you know, with so many people out there, demand is huge and we are using this stuff up.  If you grow corn for corn syrup, then what do you do with the cobs?  We've shipped coffee and bananas all over the world.  We took material from those environments.  What do we do now?  How long can it last?

      I think that threats that can be proven should be incarcerated for half the sentence of the one they would commit if carried out.  Lies unfortunately are just words unless as you stated if not under oath. 
    • Ivy
      I think it depends on where and how it's happening. We also need safe places where, the perhaps more easily intimidated, can feel free to express themselves.     And what about threats of violence?  Can this lead to a place where only the violent can have this freedom?  Is it "free speech" to threaten and intimidate opposing views into silence?  I mean maybe, if I can say anything - "if you don't shut up I'll kill you."   Or spreading lies?  (perhaps about an election). Lying is okay, unless you're under oath - for what that's worth.   Censoring books in schools?  That was fine until the bible was included.  (there is some nasty stuff in there) Then, there's what used to be that free speech birdie place.  You can denigrate queer people all you want, but "cis" is a slur, and prohibited?  Free speech as long as I like it? And let's not go into court cases and gag orders. Porn?

      I have noticed when anyone speaks against their though process they don't like it no matter what sided. Republicans are quick to defend Trump when he's not professional and treats his employees like crap. One employee didn't get paid at all and then he had the nerve to say that he would sue the worker. He already has a model as his wife and still goes after other women. Biden gets lost quicker than a 2nd Lieutenant gets lost at land navigation. Not to mention his open border policy which is flooding the country and can't even take care of the American citizens that we have now. I could go on about both sides. I personally don't get mad at anything someone says to me. I know it's not true so I'm over it before it even starts. You have to have thick skin.

      For some people, diversity of thought is okay as long as you agree with them.  I have noticed this on both sides.  Yesterday I got cussed out on FB for advocating the rule of law, which I thought an innocuous thing to advocate, because the danger a certain alleged totalitarian poses to our country.  So we should throw out the law to protect the law in the view of this person.  For that I was greeted with a long stream of obscenity.  The cussing poster claims to be Republican, which is supposed to be all MAGA and right wing and all and law and order.  Strange.   I don't think I have been cussed out by someone on the left.  I have been insulted in knowledge and intelligence and worship of Trump (which is false) but not directly cussed out.  And they get bent out of shape badly if you disagree with them, typically. Come to think of it, I have been.  Disagreeing with someone apparently is the worst thing you can do to them, invalidating their identity or something.   There is REAL diversity on this forum, and for the most part we get along.  Even if I were not dealing with trans stuff, it would be attractive that way.

      I put out an ad on Indeed for a campaign manager in January.  I got 435 responses and had meetings with 2 of them every day for a month.  No one was willing to donate enough time to my campaign to jump start donations so that I could pay them a salary.  Reposting is an excellent idea.  I don't have the time for it.  I'd love it if people would just make creative clones of my website like in the old css zen garden days 20 years ago.  I have $26.50 in my bank account today and need to sell my fancy, almost mint condition, Specialized M2 bicycle for less than $200 to buy food.   Stepping into this executive level role like I have is very intense work and I've been sleeping 4 hours a night for the last two months to stay in character.  In other words, I could use some help.  I've had 3 Gen Z transwoman musicians living with me this year and all 5 of us that have lived in my house this year have significant time living in cars and the streets.  My first wife is a symphony conductor, arranger, bass trombonist and carpenter who used to do concrete work on the freeway.  I have a picture of her on a private plane with Yo-Yo Ma from almost a quarter century ago.  I'm not just some crazy street person with $26.50 in my bank account.  I've played music for Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and I played a gig with Ray Charles in 1995.  And that is just the beginning of my story.  It's not easy to change the reproductive habits of 8 billion people.
