This question is for people who are sexually attracted to a single gender, so straight or gay people (not bi or asexual).

Some of these comments are so disappointing. Most trans people do not expect everyone to want to be with them, bottom surgery or not, because they acknowledge people have their own preferences. It is fine to have preferences, we all do and to say you don’t would be, in most cases, a lie. However, as I said prior, most trans people KNOW THIS. Most trans people are not mad or angered by people not wanting to be with them due to the simple fact they are trans. What DOES make people mad or saddened is the ignorance some hold against people who are transgender. Some people really lack compassion, the ability to feel what others feel, for me, I couldn’t even imagine the difficulty mentally someone born in the wrong body must go through... the confusion, fear. It’s heartbreaking and I’m so happy that so many people have been able to transition into the gender they truly exist as. I just don’t understand why the concept of being transgender is so difficult for some to understand. A person is born a female but is in the wrong body, they transition into the body they know represents who they are. They then use the pronouns that go with that gender, as well as USE THE BATHROOM to the gender they are. Why? Because it’s THEIR GENDER. For me, I chose that I would be with and sleep with someone who is transgender even if they didn’t have bottom surgery. Actually, since I’m a straight woman, it’s more likely I’d prefer a trans man without bottom surgery than with. I get why this is a discussion, I’m happy these topics are being communicated, but I’m disheartened by the way some people are belittling and berating transgender men and women. It is 2020. Some of you need to start worrying about yourselves and STOP CARING ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE DO WITH THEIR BODIES. And that’s on personal rights.
It's not belittling to refer back to the facts. A man can look great in a dress but still be a man, and I don't care which toilet he uses. I haven't even seen anyone arguing against someone fantasizing about being the opposite sex, just saying that regardless of their delusion, they intend to honour the facts. Do you get upset about people not supporting anorexics desire for weight loss?
I want to say I would but I don't think so... I am totally accepting of trans people, I have absolutely no issues with it whatsoever. I'd like to think that since I'm a cisgender hetero female, that if they presented as a hetero male (with surgery to have male genitalia), that I would consider dating them. But I think that finding out they were trans might change that for me, which actually upsets me a little because I can't work out why. I don't believe it's 'unnatural' to choose a different gender to your sex or have surgery, and I don't have anything issues with transgender people, so why does this matter to me? I'd be interested to know if anyone else has thoughts about this!
I don’t know. You’d have to somehow love them in the fashion of agape (courtly love), and convince yourself that you love them for their mind and personality. However, you realize that sex will possibly not go beyond 2nd base, and each of you may have to separately masterbate to achieve anything close to an orgasm since the organs may not be compatible. If the couple can be okay with that, maybe it would work.
I would date them but only as friends with benefits. their genitals dont matter for sex. But romantically I only have attraction to pussy. Theyd have to pass as my gender. And I could only masturbate. I dont like butt sex. Yuck ! i do think big dicks csn be attractive. But emotionally i only like feminine gender. I am also a boob guy. Theyd have to look as hot as you.

Not a chance. Wouldn’t date one with or without the genitals they were born with. Changing your genitals, growing or loosing your breasts and taking on a more feminine or masculine appearance, depending on which gender you’re switching to doesn’t make you that gender.
There are massive differences between the sexs beyond genitals, for example, neurological, bone structure, muscle mass, fat content, hormones and the amount of the hormones present, coordination and stamina to name a few. Many of those things cannot be changed, especially the neurological differences and brain structure differences. So in truth there is no such thing as switching genders.
I also refuse to use gender pronouns for anyone who identifies as a gender other than the one they were born as. I believe in calling things what they actually are and refuse to cater to transgender people regarding this.
I think it's completely possible to be attracted to someone who "presents" as the sex you prefer. However, if you'd like to have a sexual relationship with them and they don't have the matching genitals, I couldn't get into it. We could be friends... I'm sure we could date until the revelation...
I only want to date and marry a biological female. And I want her to look like a female, because I think girls are pretty and that is what I am attracted to. But her self-identity would not be an issue for me in terms of being a disqualifier. People are individuals, and everyone expresses their gender and sexuality in their own unique way. People are people first. Your partner is a human soul. You shouldn't judge them because they don't ascribe to certain stereotypes.
I'm never going to accept trans-gendered people if girls on here would freak out if their boyfriend or husband asked them to get breast implants but then those same girls are perfectly okay with getting a sex change... what is the common sense in that? It should go both ways, right? God never said it's okay to change what I helped create you as. If this entire world turns gay then eventually life would cease to exist... and the reason why the LGBTQ pushes their agenda is that they don't care about an afterlife of heaven or hell. They strictly go by their principles. It's quite sickening how the LGBTQ pushes their sex-heavy agenda on little kids I mean let kids play, draw and watch clean cartoons but the LGBTQ community thinks "Nah, lets corrupt the minds of the youth"... I don't care who gives this comment a thumbs down. On the Day of Judgment, those who are perfectly okay with this mindset can answer to God.
As for your breast implant analogy: There's a difference between choosing to modify your body (gender reassignment surgery), & having someone tell you to modify your body (being asked to get breast implants)
Well I could say people should accept their gender then. I’m 5’9 should I cry that I am not 6 ft 6 and become a girl? The lgbtq community has said very harsh things about straight people and religion therefore the lgbtq community is not about love. I see people loving their money but waking by people who are homeless not giving a crap, it means people are selfish and pretend as though more money will make them happier/better person same goes for the lgbtq community. You can disagree with me 10000% people can do what they want but we all have an expiry and our souls are returned to our creator for judgment in the after life just like we are judged in this life for results in school, at work, or through the legal system.
I have zero sexual or romantic interest in males, and in any flavor of transgender.
I support transpeople's right to do what they feel is right for themselves, but I'm not under any obligation to be attracted to them. It's great that some people are, but I'm not one of them.
Fair play to you.
I'm bisexual but I would only ever date someone with intact genitals. I'm sorry but if you have had surgery to change the way you look then you are broken in my eyes and I would be scared of you falling apart. It's never good to try and change your junk to the opposite thing, I've seen pictures and read the stories. It just sounds horrible and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemies. If you have to pretend to be a different gender, whatever you do, don't mutilate your bits!
No I would not, because in addition to reasons given in your answer choices, gender dysphoria is a mental disorder that very serious ramifications. Someone who can't accept their own body is just the tip of the iceberg, and the bottom of the iceberg is the highest suicide rate of any demographic in the world, and one of the highest of any demographic in history. It's all a bunch of insane drama that I want nothing to do with under any circumstances.
I couldn't date them, period. I'm kind of a purist, and prefer to keep things natural. Born a male, always a male to me. It doesn't matter how you look. You cannot give birth so what biological purpose would serve us beyond physical attraction? Nothing. I have a biological imperative built deep into my mind to procreate. The moment my brain learns that it isn't possible, attraction is lost. It's just natural. This is just my temperament. Others might feel differently.
No I want to date them and I wouldn’t date them if they did have the surgery so basically if they after surgery and then trick me into sleeping with them and never tell me that there were originally a guy we would probably be fine if they did tell me they were originally guy I would show him the door I don’t date people with Y chromosomes
It's not just about the genitals. Even after having his genitals surgically mutilated, he would still be a man with body dysmorphia. I don't mind him carrying out a feminine role in a homosexual relationship, but I have no interest in this. I am attracted to women.
*her
@baked_bean No. If he has a Y chromosome, he is a man, regardless of how mutilated his genitals or hormone supplemented he is.
I'm not having a go at your opinion for this. Just wanting to share some info you may/may not know.
Gender can be seen as a spectrum and some people's body's align with where their brains/souls are. however for some their body can be at one end while their mind/soul/who they are is at the other end. It is then that they have to choose whether to try and live as they are or to change/transition their body's to what it feels like it should be.
I believe that this one fits a bit better.
You ever kick a toe or knee a wall and you can feel the bone is broken but everyone around you says it's not and to not worry about it. However it's in your body so you can feel it.
Then you tape the toes together to try and fix em best you can so you can continue on with your life.
@baked_bean the difference is that a medical examination would show a damaged bone. This is not about acknowledgement of damage, it is about dysmorphia. When we were younger, my basketball loving brother and I thought we were meant to be 6'6" negroes. I am glad that there were not surgeons telling our parents that they could help us achieve our natural state by pigmenting our skin and and lengthening our bones.
Was that something y'all wanted to be or felt you were tho?
A therapist could also help show you whether or not you are transgender kinda like a medical exam.
It costs a lot of money for people to actually have some of the surgeries so they wouldn't want to chose to have to have it.
There is still a lot more to learn about what it means for someone to be transgender, humans dont know 100% yet why/how this happens there are studies being done everywhere tho with new information all the time.
I wouldn't date a transgender person, regardless of whether they are biologically male or female.
As a straight male with regular gender identity, I only wish to date other straight people with regular gender identity.
No bi, no pan, no alternate gender identities.
Nope, as a bisexual woman, I would only date a biological woman or a biological man.
So a biological man who looks like a woman but still has a penis just seems odd to me. But I also wouldn't date someone who had surgery as well cause I want the real thing.
I know the question was not meant for bisexual. But, not every bi person would date a trans though. I think that's why they created the word pansexual. But anyways just wanted to share my opinion :)
I am simply not interested in Trans Women. I fully support their fight for inclusion, acceptance and pride. I have never cared on way or the other who bumps uglies with who. I personally have not attraction to Trans women but everyone has their preferences. Solidarity with your struggle though.
I don't think I would date a transgender person. I'm very impressed by those who are comfortable with it. I think I'd miss the male body part. I personally think that having the genital operation is a very big decision and possibly life threatening.
I chose this one because you said "couldn't be attracted"
Of course I could be, but once I found out, the attraction would go away.
In my opinion, it's just crossdressing with or without the surgery. They are still genetically the gender they were born with no matter what they do to themselves.
Nope. I'm only interested in women who are 100% female from birth and have natural female anatomy. Men who manage to look female through medical procedure aren't female and they never will be.
There are 2 types of transgender in my prospectives:
1) Transgender that looks like a man and trying to be a woman = Red Flag
2) Transgender that looks like a actual women. It just a woman that traps in the man's body which is naturally fine = 😏 I don't mind at all
Transgender is Transgender, whether they pass or not.
You're just showing how judgmental and picky you are.
. . . Off you go
Im a lesbian, I only date females. Not men who feel like they're women and believe in brain sex. Im not attracted to feminity, I'm attracted to females. Trans men I probably wouldn't date because most would be pissed that I, a lesbian (someone who only likes women) like them.
So no, Im sticking to exclusively non trans females
Unless a trans woman is physically indistinguishable from a biological female, genitals and body overall, I wouldn't be interested to begin with. But even if that was the case, the problem is that with the scientific technology we currently have, trans women aren't able to have kids. That will probably change very soon, though, but until then, I won't, since I want to have kids eventually.
I would not dismiss the idea of dating a transgender person.
All really depends on how well we get along with each other.
But I do hope they plan to one day have the full conversion in the future.
Unsure how I feel about having sex with a shemale / trans woman.
