Of course you don't Jay.

I have an opinion too-you are having a whole lot of entertainment out of all this.

But again that is just my opinion and I really don't plan to post to these threads anymore. They all get to be alike and I am pretty sure you know the answers you are going to get before you ask the questions.

Not a game I want to play anymore myself but I wish you well

I've never understood this desire to make people want to date me or force clubs to accept me or whatever. I am not attracted to FtMs or gender-typical guys, but I I were, what do I have to gain by putting one more person in the dating pool that I would disagree with so strongly? I'd see their decision to not want to date me without meeting me as a gift.

Wow this thread...

I'm generally attracted to cis girls, guys and mtf, but would never rule anything out on a principle of labels... Just go with the flow and enjoy the whole experience of sexuality.

Folks it's ok now, as this thread was started by a person that demonstrated they were not truly seeking advice or help, but instead posted a topic that by it's very title was prejudice against one segment of the population, and then argued over what came next for what appeared to be some kind of entertainment. This person went on to say "I don't want to offend" but really was offensive and I believe knew this, and most likely enjoyed pushing people's buttons (baiter/troll). We are best to just stop replying to these types of posts here on our support forum, see rule 8 if you have any questions. We now return you to your posts of support, assistance, and unique insights.

Again - Date whomever you want, we all can be selective that's personal choice.

I really don't care either way.

Basically:

Do you and I have functional body parts that allow us to be pleasured and to pleasure each other, whatever those may be? Yes? Then we're good to go.

I'm not about to get bent out of shape about what those bits are, how you identify or how you prefer/like to use them.

So long as no one gets any STD's or accidentally conceives a child...its all the good and the same to me.

Getting caught up in the details and self-imposed 'rules' gets in the way of a lot of awesome relationships and experiences.

Im not judging anyone you missed my point if you think about it it would be stressful, I just cant do that I pefer cisgendered women, And their are loads of straight men who could agree

What if you can't tell the difference? What if you didn't know the woman was trans? A difference which makes no difference is no difference at all. What we have here instead is you rationalizing a prejudice. You don't have a "preference", you have a prejudice.

By the way I have this argument a LOT with straight men in my advocacy work. It happens because men in our culture are inherently homophobic and transphobic. It's somewhat unusual to see this in a trans person though.

You said:

But 2 people with gender dysphoria=hot mess

Oh really? What about someone who's transitioned, moved on with their lives and basically has no dysphoria? Once again you've made an incorrect assumption.

You have a lot to learn my friend.

if we transition, move on and have no dysphoria, it wouldnt bother us if someone discovered we were transgender - i feel with some people it might still cause them to feel upset, so therefore if that were the case, they would still be experiencing dysphoria............

If you have to use "other straight dudes think so" as a defense I think your argument is weak. It makes it look like you're leaning on this defense because you know people will think discriminating against transwomen in dating is wrong of you, but you say "other guys do it" to make it so you don't feel bad. This is not about random straight guys, you are asking whether other people think it's bad that YOU pass over transwomen as dating prospects, so I think it's best to leave other people out of the argument.

Facts are, that if you consider yourself attracted to women but exclude transwomen, you are categorizing them differently and essentially as "not really women," and that is wrong for starters. I'm not putting words in your mouth here, this is straight up what people are going to interpret. That is what people are seeing here, that is why you're getting people's backs up.

Nobody can make you change your view on this, but I'm telling you, if you continue to view things like this for the rest of your life you will have such a narrow view and you will miss out. I guarantee this kind of thinking pervades more in your life than just dating transwomen.

Everybody is different, you can't guarantee that you will have those specific problems when dating a transgender woman. You can't guarantee just about anything in a new relationship. You could be more compatible with a transwoman than a ciswoman. Or maybe you'd try dating a transwoman and you'd find those things do get in the way for that relationship, but maybe with another transwoman it doesn't. The only way to find out what a relationship would be like with someone if you're interested in them is to go for it.

Seriously, say you started dating a girl, found out you really liked her, went out with her for a while, and then eventually she tells you she's transgender. You would then break it off, even though it was going perfectly, only because she's transgender? That's truly and simply discriminatory, and it's even worse coming from another transgender person. How would you feel from a similar perspective?

Take it from someone who once thought they were exclusively gay, love and relationships are things that can find ways to surprise you and change your life in ways you never pictured. I never thought I'd be in a relationship with a girl, and now I am and I am the happiest I have ever been.

In short: to be completely honest, I personally do think it's bad that you pass over transwomen for dating prospects as a rule. Because:
1) I think you are not treating them as the women they deserve to be treated as.
2) You cannot assume things will fail before you know the person for things like that.

That's my $0.02, whether it makes a difference or not. I can't make you change your mind or date transwomen, but you asked what people thought so here it is.

I also think that, whether you are entirely conscious of it or not, you also believe it's bad you overlook MtFs in dating.

Because why else would you pose this question to us?
If you truly believed that there was nothing wrong with excluding transwomen from your dating pool, then you wouldn't bother asking people whether it was bad. This thread is basically a method of looking for reassurance that this is okay because somewhere in your brain you're not sure that it is. So there's that to think about, too.

There are two aspects of a relationship, the domestic portion , two people cohabitating to further a common goal , and the sexual aspect of a relationship. Both have equal baring to the health of a relationship. in some instances sexual attraction happens first. in which both parties are drawn together based on their partners physical lay out and attractiveness to them respectively , and then the domectic portion happens . in many the domestic portion happens first , it can happen in a number of ways, people working together.... chatting together. sharing a common space . building a non sexual relationship, that can and often times does over ride ones physical preference in a sexual partner . meaning caring and loving some one enough that thier flaws become transparent to you. or at least their pyshical ones.

Specifically your question. While i do not see it as a bad thing that you do not wish to have a relationship with some one who's body does not fit your ideal of the type of woman you want to be with. just state that " while i do consider trans women female. i am just not physically attracted to male genitaila so i feel it is not something i could personally get over and have meaningfull healthy relationship with a trans woman " and left it at that. I could respect that .

But what you have done is present your opinion in the form of back handed compliments , and more back hand than complement.

the mantra that you chant " No offence " coupled with your other Mantra " and Straight men wouldn't date trans women either " is very telling of your true intentions. your attempts to skirt around what ever it is that you are just itching to say. is as transparent to me as glass.

No offence , but every thing you say your opinions your thoughts on the subject of MTFs AND FTMs i might add ( i have read your other posts ) sound like Every Hurtfull, mysogynistic, transphobic , homophobic, bigoted and ignorant male argument against why Mtfs and Ftms are not really female or male , that has been spouted out by Every Hurtfull, mysogynistic, transphobic , homophobic, bigoted and ignorant male. i have ever come in contact with . You are either being intentionally insulting or not smart enough to realize you are putting your foot in your mouth every time you open it . i really hope it is the latter. but i suspect that it is likely not.

I have to believe you're trolling at this point.

1. It's not a preference, you're being prejudiced.

2. Transsexual women are women, period.

3. "me feel more normal". So you're saying transsexual women aren't normal.

I'm not responding to this thread again; I just wanted to make it clear you ain't fooling anybody.

Im not trolling at all, But if thats what belileve then fine, Again everyon has their preferences, Just because I won''t date a transwoman doesnt mean I don't see you as one, Never said that, You misread, I said I would feel more happier and normal with a straight cisgendered female, And Im wasnot ever being transphobic or homophobic, I do have beliefs, Just because someone might not agree wiith it doesnt mean their transphobic or homophobic.

Jay, why don't you give it a rest? After 66 replies, I don't think anything new is going to come of this subject, and you are clearly enjoying stirring the pot, which is boiling over.

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!

      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
