Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I am a transgender MTF who is attrracted to women, and I have always been fascinated by female athletes. For a while this confused me sexually, making me buy into the idea that being attracted to features that are associated with a particular gender means I really just want to be physically intimate with the biological sex category associated with the gender associated with the feature...an unpleasant rabbit hole.

Anyways, while my voice bothers me and my genitalia and lack of womb and breasts bother me, the fact  that I have a body like an MMA fighter does not bother me at all - in fact, I find it terribly sexy and in a way, it helps make up for the other physical incongruities. My point is that for me, I do not regret the muscles I have (I''m still considered "skinny," while also being "ripped"...I hate physical-body terms) but maybe this is related to my sexual preferences? It would be interesting if my sexuality played a role in transitioning to a more comfortable body-psyche balance.

Good for you.  There is nothing wrong with being muscular if that's what you like.  The whole point of transitioning is for you to be comfortable with yourself and being true to your heart.  If you are comfortable with muscles, then that's fine.   

I have no idea how your sexuality would play a role in your transition.  Are you saying you want to look like the thing that attracts you?  That's what I got from your post.   One thing I will say, make sure you are transitioning for reasons other than your sexuality and your preference to muscular women, such as the dysphoria you mentioned in the post.   

People at first think I do not have so much muscles, but I have more than most biological women. As I prefer health, I like women having some muscles. Here, there are too many skinny girls lacking of exercise.

I think muscles on a woman can look sexy, but generally female muscle tone looks different than a man's
