Now that I've had my srs surgery, I have a question for anyone here who can answer it...for those of you who have had your surgery, and are straight, how do you go about meeting men who are okay with your being TS?  Is it possible, or am I doomed to be alone for the rest of my life?

Go out, be social, and hope for the best. I am involved in several groups/activities and have met all of my partners through various outlets. All knew me while pre-op and did not have an issue although I was intimate with only one partner just prior to SRS.

All I can say is GOOD LUCK! I don't know how many guys I have dated since 1974 but of the ones I told, only one didn't take a runner.

It seems to be harder if you are stealth - guys feel that you have fooled them - but I think it is REALLY hard for a straight guy to get past this.

It won't be you you are trying "to get past."

It will be them, how they view themselves if they know about you. That's a really very hard path to negotiate. There are men who can and will, but they hardly have signs on themselves saying so.

The answer seems to be in "getting lucky" after the man is told.

I hope you find one of those.

I know some girls who've had trouble, or have dated men but lost them after the men found out that they were TS. Although, I've also ran into some who have found a guy who knows and is comfortable with it. I think it depends on the type of guy you are looking for.

Being social is a good idea -- but also being social in what you like. If you're not into clubs/bars, you probably won't enjoy yourself and the men you do find will be bar guys who do the rounds in the bars. Bar stars aren't usually good to date. You might find someone there, but if it's not in your social circle than it could be more of difficult relationship. Not everyone is into the bar/club scene and it's not always the best way to meet someone.

I've known people who've found different clubs that interested them. Years ago I knew of someone years ago who found someone through a club called Toastmasters. You might want to check that out, actually. They are in almost every city.

I've known people who've joined book reading clubs at the library, or writing clubs, or art. Sometimes people take part-time classes. There's a lot of ways to be social outside of the bar, and if you're doing something you enjoy, at least you enjoy yourself and you have a better chance of meeting someone who like similar things.

You never know with guys if they'll accept the TS or not. Although, I find the big macho bar guys who sleep with almost any woman in the bar have a harder time, vs the smarter ones that are quieter and have a brain and confidence.
