How would you feel if I done the exact same question about Trans Women and Biological Women?
Just because they take copious amounts of exogenous testosterone doesnât mean theyâre men.

I have no problem with a person changing their gender.
I also think they're entitled to live their lives to the fullest potential because that's what everyone deserves.
There are certain things I want in life and that is a partner, to marry, start a family with and live together as happily as we can.
I'm attracted to men. Mostly straight men. Race isn't usually an issue for me, I just want a decent Human being.
I would also like to be able to have a biological child with that person.
I appreciate that sometimes when you are with a person you might not be able to do that. Maybe fertility is an issue.
But to give myself a fighting chance at being able to have that I would want to be with a biologically birth born man.
If u was a person not fussed about having kids. And not worried about adopting or other options then I may go for it if they are mentally and emotionally sound.
But for me I just want minimal baggage.
Men and women are already struggling in this messed up dating pool.
I just want to be happy
The thing about the wording of this question... is you are asking whether they make better mates... mating means to reproduce... ftm trans cannot reproduce like that... therefore they can't really be mates, can they? Unless you are from a part of the world where mates just means friends... in which case it would be similar to having a gay best friend... except they aren't gay... except they are gay? I guess it would be the best of both worlds, possibly? Or maybe I wouldn't be like you think...
Ok, here is an interesting thought experiment. Let's say there was a way for ftm to produce sperm... let's say for arguments sake it was possible to surgically transplant prostate, testicles, the whole 9 yards... whose sperm would be produced in those testicles? That of the donor or of the recipient? Would the body know how to produce sperm? Would there even be an existing section of genetic code containing those instructions within the ftm body? What about mtf? If it was possible to transplant the uterus, ovaries, etc into the body of a mtf trans person... whose offspring would that be if they got pregnant? It is my understanding that women are born with all the eggs they will ever need for their lifetime, as opposed to a man who is continually producing new sperm. So... genetically, whose offspring would that be? The donor's or the recipient's? If conception was even possible... would the body even know how to grow a baby? There are some incredibly complex processes involved here... where are the instructions to do this contained? Is the uterus just a bio-mechanical baby factory in itself or does the rest of the body need to know what to do as well? How would the body know if genetically it is still a man's body?
I mean I don't want to put anyone down, but you cherry picked masculine looking transmen. There are a lot of transmen who are not masculine at all, or moderately masculine. Not to mention, unless I'm mistaken, even with injection, they don't meet the standard levels of testosterone that the average man does.
But I would agree that they likely know, at least more intuitively or to a deeper extent, how to treat a women. Same goes for gay guys. They physically have a dick, they have those nerves, and it's wired to their brain. They intuitively understand how it works and what guys like, as to where women can only have a second-hand understanding of it through communication or judging our reactions. But I think most people would consider this factor fairly negligible as I'm sure most people are more than fine with how women fare in the bedroom. Men don't like struggle to get off with women, and I'm of the impression the bi dudes who like it roughly 50/50 don't recieve significantly more pleasure from guys (its different if you happen to find giys more attractive than girls).
You are trying to provoke people and get a reaction out of them.
People have their preferences. The wording of this question is kind of hilarious, because on a biological level, they cannot procreate if they mate with women because they do not produce sperms.
I, personally, am NOT into trans people romantically and that does NOT make me transphobic. Why? Becauss it is my preference. I would very much only date a biological, heterosexual male who is not trans. I believe that people have their right to be whatever they wish to be and I'm okay with them being a part of the LGBTQ community, because well, life is too short to prevent people from living their lives.
Not intimidated at all. I don't care what other guys look like, let alone people who can tailor their appearance through hormones and surgery... Which is the equivalent of saying a female who got cosmetic surgery (face lift, botox, lip filler, nose job, breast implants, etc.) are better looking than regular women who prefer to stay natural.
Or saying a model who is loaded up with makup, professionally photographed and then retouched in Photoshop are better looking than everyone else who just tries to live their life.
None of these are comparable to each other.
Except they are not men theyâre women.
mutilating yourself and attaching body parts that donât biologically belong on you and being injected with copious amounts of hormones doesnât make you a man.
Your chromosomes do and they can not be altered and their chromosome are female making them biologically women.
No amount of pointless arguing or crying about it is gonna change that.
and no Iâm not intimidated but I am annoyed that people are stupid enough to believe and take this kind of nonsensical pseudoscience seriously.
So I have never dated a trans man, but I am curious about it. I donât think there would be a difference, but the mere fact they knew what itâs like to be in a female body makes it interesting. Ultimately I am more interested in compatibility and similarity than I am in large discrepancies. Although I am âheteroâ I have wondered what itâs like to have a female partner, simply due to the fact that we likely experienced a shared perspective, existing in female bodies and how that plays out in society.
But again, Iâve never had the honor and know nothing.
Itâs crazy how they can look so much like men but they are artificially adding an absurd amount of testosterone some even higher than some regular men so the muscle makes sense theyâre basically on PEDâs plus they develop very masculine features due to the excess T so I mean if you like very sexually dimorphic traits then I guess but they also donât have dicks Iâm sure would be a major hurdle for most women. Also the excess T could very easily affect mental state and behavior just like men who take PEDâs.
These men were able to afford good surgeons , hormones and were able to spend a lot of time in the gym. So they are doing a lot better than other trans people who canât afford their transition.
The private part issue is also an issue for me. They either donât get the surgery or opt for a metoidoplasty ( where they get a small penis from bottom growth) or a phaloplasty ( where they make an average/ish penis from a skin graft )
they were previously women so they may be more sensitive to your emotions. But sex is important to me so it wouldnât work out.
To be honest, it's kind of up to the woman. Some women are lesbians and they can't seem to find the perfect woman to be in a relationship with. I don't know if you can count a trans male with a woman as a lesbian relationship, but if trans women can be better mates for men so why can't it be the other way around? I actually had a trans man as a best friend but I just told him we should just stick to being best friends because it would really look extremely weird to have sex with a trans man knowing that you're not gay. Not trying to be sexual, but it's a gigantic turn off for a straight man to stick his hot dog in a trans male vagina knowing that he's a woman trapped in a man's body.
You say cis men know its true, even though the same amount of women disagree. This is what liberals do. Argue against those who aren't the ones they view as victims, and then ignore those who are the "victims" even though they're the ones who know better. Insane propaganda.
I am bisexual, but I will not date anyone who isn't cis. Part of the reason is I prefer different things in men and women, but part of it is also that I want a man who can wear makeup (if he wants, though not my preference) without thinking that makes him a man. If gender is a social construct, then why would certain things make a person trans? Trans people are just stereotypes and characutures. Do what you want, but if you think that makes you a different gender then it's not for me.
I don't know if they are better in the sense that they're hotter cuz they look like regular attractive dudes. But I agree. I feel like they would understand women better since they once were once dudes
No they aren't better, just because they look like men doesn't mean they're men. Same goes to a "cis" dude acting like a complete immature retard. Being a "man" would mean you have male sexual organs, a male brain and take accountability like any person is supposed to when they're not kids anymore.
I'm not a transphobe, but being trans is not the same as being "cis" gender. They didn't invent the term without reason.
We're just human after all. Not better or worse.
I would not be interested in a trans man at all. No hate against the trans community but they are missing the one crucial piece of male anatomy... 🍆 Sorry. And if a woman dates a trans man and also wants children then they have to go through the incredibly expensive and lengthy process of artificial insemination.
Straight women wouldnât go for âtrans men.â Because theyâre just women with hormones injected.
As difficult as men can be, us straight women still love them. And if we fall in love weâll put up with his crap sometimes like they put up with our crap sometimes. Not all REAL men are bad.
I don't think so no. You say they'd know how to treat a woman, but lesbian couples fight and break up just like straight couples do. And you say they're men, but you also say they have the personality of a woman? I'm not sure how a trans man would feel about that.
Aren't most women gay anyway? So dating a female that looks like a male is like the best of both worlds for them, isn't it? Or does that apply to transwomen? I don't know, but if lesbians like OP want to be with women with muscles, then she can have all the trannies she wants. Same for all the other lesbians other there, even if very few straight women seem to exist.
s Ok, not gonna lie, that last guy Shawn looks hot AF.
Anyway, I am panromantic so I'd totally date a transman or transwoman. Dont matter to me. My only thing is I don't do penetration so no matter who I'm dating they have to know that nothing is going inside me. But if they want a great relationship otherwise, I'm definitely the girl to call. Especially you, Shawn.
I'm just gonna leave this video here of a lesbian feminist woman who had that same prejudice as you that the ideal man is a woman in a mans body, and then put those beliefs into practice only to find out the hard way what nonsense that is.
