Answer 1

That's quite an interesting question. I'm straight myself, but have been confronted with that question on numerous occasions. To be honest, I don't know. I mean I know they're still people in the end, but it'd be strange thinking that a woman I was dating was not born that way naturally. I understand it's a very controversial and provocative issue, so I don't wish to offend anyone. But to me personally, it'd definitely depend. I think I'd be more comfortable with a genetically-natural woman, rather than a transgendered woman. That's just the way I see it.

Answer 2

Why are you asking a question directed at straight guys on a gay board?

Anyway, fyi, "a transgender" is bad grammar. "Transgender" is an adjective, not a noun - one is a transgendered person, not "a transgender". You also appear to be thinking of transexual women - a specific category, while "Transgendered" is a much broader term.

Also, please, a trans woman was *not* "once a man." She is a woman. Period. She always was a woman. Trans people aren't some doctor's creation, no one "becomes" a man or woman via hormones or reconstructive surgery. Such medical options are just that - medical options, treatments which may make life easier or even possible, but they don't define us as human beings. One's identity is defined by one's mind/neural wiring/psyche/soul - medical treatment doesn't "make" one a woman or a man, it just makes evident what was already true.

And though discrimination is rampant and a heterosexual man who is known to desire or love a trans woman may face some of the same mistreatment trans people live with, this desire or love does not legitimately call into question one's heterosexuality. They are women. If a trans woman expressed interest in you, and you desired her, this is a heterosexual relationship.

Answer 3

No. But I dated a transgender guy who once was a woman. He ran a medical lab for a living, very intelligent, total scientist type.

Answer 4

I would so date a T girl as you say....
I'm bi so I don't know which part of the whole situation I would be more attracted to but I look at them and I don't wonder if I could I say to myself i would so do it!!!
Scary!
well I guess is the best of both worlds... and if she was post op I would still do it because it take balls to remove the ones you have and go through all of that... I truly admire their courage

Answer 5

As a gay man, I would only date a person that has a penis. I was married for 11 years. Once I had the courage to admit that I am gay, it's tough to consider going back to a woman, even if that person started their life as a man.

Answer 6

Yes, I would. It's not their fault that they were born with the wrong "plumbing." They are women just the same and should be treated as such.

Answer 7

I'm gay, I couldn't possibly date a woman.

Answer 8

why asking a a question like that where mostly every one is gay, come on go and ask it in a different enviornment.

Answer 9

no, but I'm gay so I wouldn't date any kind of woman regardless of whether she has a penis, a vagina, or a surgically constructed vagina

Answer 10

No, but I'd date her brother.
