Hmm, well, to my surprise, when I first transitioned, I discovered that there were women who made it quite clear they were interested and it was also clear it was BECAUSE I was trans, and that turned me right off. I don't have the slightest desire to be anyone's "experience. "
But that was then and this is now, and people don't know my story. So now, I don't seem to have any problem attracting other Lesbians. The thing is, when things get to the point of real intimacy, I tell them my story. More than once, a woman who was all over me before she knew, cools off in a hurry once she knows. They always say the right things, but then I see them less and less. It hurts.
My last in person gf hadn't known, but was excited by the idea. That was fine with me because we already had a connection. I will confess, though, that her curiosity began to wear on me. It seemed that was all she wanted to talk about, once she knew.
But is the question, would I date an admirer who was TS themselves? An MtF, yes I would, but she would have to seem feminine in her soul to me. And not look like Winston Churchill. I did my time of being snickered at by strangers. I have no wish to go back to that, even vicariously. An FtM, I don't think I could. If i came to care for them, I think I would mourn every lost iota of womanness, so clearly it would never work.
