Title: Would you date a M2F...
Post by: xXRebeccaXx on November 02, 2011, 06:54:57 PM
I know like 70% of tguys are straight...but if you're gay then...would you date another F2M

I'm kind of bisexual/pansexual.  and I would definitely date a M2F (or a F2M) at any stage in transition, just as long as I liked their personality.

I would love to date a Ftm, many of them are pretty attractive and they also understand you and so so.

for Mtf I am more picky and nervous,
I bet I somehow are scared to be attracted to mtf for there manly features since I like boyish girls,
and so on, but I have also found mtf pretty attractive and could date on.

Wait, what? I'm confused.

Topic says: "Would you date a M2F", mtf are women and I'm 'mostly' gay so... eehh... I would probably give it a shot but it would be unfulfilling for the both of us.

then you ask "if you're gay then...would you date another f2m" hell yeah I would. You know, if we were compatible.

What are you asking now?

i'm pretty much pansexual as well...but i have to admit that i sometimes feel i have more in common with feminine men, tomboyish girls, and other ftms than with the trans women i've met so far, who were all very feminine, and i've never dated a very femine woman (nor an uber-masculine guy).

With all hands raised, definitely. I'd be more worried about connecting/being attracted to that person than whether they were M2F or F2M.

It seems weird to start or end a genuine relationship because of what's in someone's pants.  I cannot imagine being turned on to or off of MtFs/FtMs any more or less than any other men or women.

I can imagine it.  Like if someone is solely attracted to women, it may be hard, if not impossible, for them to date a pre-op transwoman.  I could imagine a person who is just unattracted to anything resembling "male" parts, that they couldn't do.  and personally, I wouldn't hold that against them.  They are the way they are too, they can't control what they're attracted to.

I will say that I don't tolerate cissexism too well, and usually trans people are a bit better with that stuff.

Really my only requirement with dating is finding somebody with a similar understanding of gender as me.

I'm bi, so I would go out with a transwoman or a transman if the opportunity ever presented itself and I found them attractive.

TBH, I may even be more comfortable with them than I would be with a cis person, simply because of the similar experiences we would have had - and I wouldn't have any worries about their reaction to my own transsexualism.

FWIW I too am a straight guy and as such obviously, yes I would date a (trans)woman! Trans or cis still a woman..!

I will go a little against the grain though in saying I would have some hesitation with a pre op MtF - but it would depend a lot on the connection we had etc.

I'm not saying it's a deal breaker, but for me at least it is definitely something I would have to work at to overcome.
Title: Re: Would you date a M2F...

I see transsexualism as a physical medical condition. That is like asking "would you date someone with diabetes?".

I like women but if I were to date a pre-op MTF then I wouldn't be able to emotionally handle my dysphoria and hers, especially if I loved the person because I wouldn't be able to bear to see them hurt or anything. So I think I'll stick to cis because it would be a lot easier for me. I would definitely consider dating a post-op MTF though if I ever met one.

I feel if she were early in her transition, like had just come out and was figuring herself out it might be harder than if she were further into her transition.  Same goes for a trans man.  I am basically bisexual but prefer women.

Post op trans men and women can still have and do still have dysphoria at times.

Post by: Wolfsnake on November 03, 2011, 01:54:28 AM
I'm attracted to feminine and genderqueer males. I definitely prefer cis males, from a purely physical perspective, in the same way that I prefer red or black hair, dark eyes, and Asian features. They aren't essential, but they are very nice as frosting on the cake. The cake is more important, though. I can't be in a relationship with someone if I can't be really good friends with them. If I fell in love with a trans guy, so be it. I'm not real turned on by trans-male anatomy, probably because I have Issues related to my own body, but I'd figure out a way to make it work.

I would not date an MtF, though. That's not because I'm a cissexist jerk. It's because I'm gay, and I'm particularly attracted to feminine men. I'd be attracted to her male features, and that would be completely unfair to her.

70% of trans men are straight? Its always seemed to me that 70% are gay or something.

I would date a transwoman, but she would have to be post op. I don't see how it would work out if she wasn't. I don't think I could ever reciprocate. If i was really attracted to her and she only had a boob job I would be willing to work something out and try having a relationship.


And this is my 1k post. I feel like I've spent way to much time on the Internet.

Title: Re: Would you date a M2F...
Post by: Ryno on November 03, 2011, 08:43:56 AM
The only kind of person I could never see myself with is a heterosexual, cisgender male (and I suppose I wouldn't end up dating a straight guy now, anyway). And that's probably because of the three men I dated - two of whom I had sex with, all three of whom I sucked off - before coming out as anything queer. I wasn't attracted to their personalities, and I'm not completely sure how I feel about male genitalia. But if I were with a pre-op MtF I'd be comfortable with her genitals and would treat them the same as I would any woman's nether regions, and obviously respect her boundaries the same as I would any woman's.

I would not have any second thoughts if I met a wonderful woman who digged me back and happened to be a transsexual as well. It wouldn't even phase me when she tells me. I wouldn't get excited about it, I wouldn't ask any sexual or genital questions, just like I wouldn't if I were dating a cisfemale. As a transman I wouldn't feel comfortable having someone I just met ask me questions like that so I'd never put someone else in that situation, even if they didn't mind. As far as dating an FtM goes, well, I've never been out as a gay man so the same would apply if I were with a cisguy. I'd probably be very conservative and not open about the relationship.

TL;DR: Yes, I would date an MtF.

It might seem that way due to what social circles you run in, but it's really pretty much the same spread as is it in the cissexual population. Some people are straight and some people are gay and some are bi and some are pansexual and some are asexual. It just depends on the person.

I've also heard that HRT can uh, 'adjust' your sexual preferences. Or simply the fact that once you start passing and are cool with yourself you can find yourself attracted to people you weren't attracted to before, for all sorts of reasons. Maybe because your brain chemistry is finally in line with itself or because, psychologically, you can finally see yourself in a relationship with someone as your *real* gender. Like if you were FtM and you didn't want to be with guys because you didn't want to be 'the girlfriend'.

Sexuality is fluid and strange and shifting genders kind of makes everything feel really complicated.
Title: Re: Would you date a M2F...
Post by: vik2ray on November 03, 2011, 09:26:37 AM
My answer would be. I'm bi. and currently undecided. ftm yes i would date and mtf...ha vent met any in person i dint know how i would feel.

Generally i like bio girls. but not having met a transwoman in person and had the time to get to know her as a person beyond a text message or an email. i will say sure why not id give it a shot after all transwomen are sexy.

And if Ive learnt anything about my sexual preferences its that i can always find some way of seeing the person underneath whatever guise it make take at the time. female male intersex or asexual or even something yet to be discovered i am willing to take time to get to know a person.

Despite having a main preference for ladies and being occasionally called a Casanova i can treat men as well as women to a romantic dinner. flowers and a back massage and curl up on the couch watching their favourite movie even if the genre bores me to tears. I'm still a romantic goth at heart.

I'm attracted to women only, which definitely includes transwomen. But to echo what a couple guys have said, it would be difficult to deal with body parts that I want for myself being attached to my lover. Maybe we could get a two for one deal at the surgeon's office and celebrate heartily later.  ;D

This, all the way.

I will mention though, that I think that dating a Twoman could have certain advantages that dating a biogirl wouldn't,
Like they would get what kind of dysphoria I'm going through, and they could relate to me being so frisky that I have to go take care of myself xD (I jest, I jest!)
Seriously though, I wouldn't be opposed to it at all, but I won't say that I'm specifically looking for a Tgirl, I just like girls in general :3

careful estimates are at at least 30% gay ftms - i saw an ftm forum poll where 60% were gay or bisexual. At the same time I agree that sexual preferences and sexual identity are fluid, especially if we allow ourselves to think outside our own box...

(to make sense of the data: Male homosexuality as well as ftm transsexuality have been linked to the testosterone exposure of a fetus in the womb, with ftms getting a dose that's higher than the average female's and gay men getting a dose that's lower than the average male's.....so it makes sense that there'd be a higher percentage of gay ftms than of gay cis men).

Generally speaking, trans-people don't walk up and immediately tell everyone what's in his/her pants or (if post-op on bottom) what used to be in his/her pants.
So.... until she told me (if she told me), I would have no way of knowing that the woman I was dating is a transwoman.

That said, I would date anyone because I'm panromantic. However, I would not have physical intimacy with any woman whether she is trans or not because I am only sexually attracted to men; I would also not have full on sex with another FtM because looking at his would remind me of my own and also because the genitals I like/am aroused by are those of cismen.

I COULD NOT BELIVE THEY WERE ONCE FEMALE? I DONT KNOW IF I SHOULD EVEN SAY FEMALE BEACUSE THEY NEVER WERE LOL. THE ESTROGEN MIGHT OF MADE THEM LOOK FEMALE BUT THEY ARE DUDES I COULD NOT BELIVE IT.

I WAS REALLY IN AN AWKWARD STATE OF MIND BEACUSE I ALWAYS FELT AS A MTF TRANS GIRL THAT STRIAGHT MEN ARE THE ONLY THING I WOULD EVER FIND APPEALING.

NOW I KNOW HOW ALL THOSE STRAIGHT GUYS FEEL WHEN THEY HIT ON ME AND I TELL THEM IM TRANS.

PROABLY THE SAME WAY I FELT WHEN I SAW THESE FTM GUYS.

DONT KNOW IF I EVER COULD DO IT THOUGH,

I NEED SOMEONE WITH  A BIG PENIS. BUT THATS JUST ME. IM ONLY SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, AS SOME FTMS ON HERE WRITE THEY CAN ONLY DATE A POST OP TRANS.

If you're looking for a forum of allies, you're not going to find them with a bad attitude.  If you'd like to be heard though; as everyone does, you should extend the same common courtesy that we extend to not only you, but other members of this forum as well.  Everyone has different backgrounds, but we all make an active effort to communicate openly in a way we can all understand.

I THINK THE ONE LOOKING FOR ALLIES IS YOU, LOL. NOT ME. I CAN HAVE MY OWN PERSONA AND DO NOT NEED OTHER PEOPLE TO STAND UP  FOR ME. I CAN FIGHT FOR MYSELF. THATS THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN :> NOW GO HURDLE WITH YOUR ALLIES AS IT MAKES U FEEL MORE SECURE LOL.

I COULD NOT BELIVE THEY WERE ONCE FEMALE? I DONT KNOW IF I SHOULD EVEN SAY FEMALE BEACUSE THEY NEVER WERE LOL. THE ESTROGEN MIGHT OF MADE THEM LOOK FEMALE BUT THEY ARE DUDES I COULD NOT BELIVE IT.

I WAS REALLY IN AN AWKWARD STATE OF MIND BEACUSE I ALWAYS FELT AS A MTF TRANS GIRL THAT STRIAGHT MEN ARE THE ONLY THING I WOULD EVER FIND APPEALING.

NOW I KNOW HOW ALL THOSE STRAIGHT GUYS FEEL WHEN THEY HIT ON ME AND I TELL THEM IM TRANS.

PROABLY THE SAME WAY I FELT WHEN I SAW THESE FTM GUYS.

DONT KNOW IF I EVER COULD DO IT THOUGH,

I NEED SOMEONE WITH  A BIG PENIS. BUT THATS JUST ME. IM ONLY SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, AS SOME FTMS ON HERE WRITE THEY CAN ONLY DATE A POST OP TRANS.

Yep, I would certainly date a MTF.  Like the common sentiment, I like women and of course they are women.   I think there is the side benefit of both sides understanding a bit of what the other has gone through is attractive as well.

To be really honest, I don't know.

I am not trying to offend anyone so be warned before reading the below.

The mental part of dating an MTF would be really easy. If I like her, and can relate to her she is just like any female. Physically it would be challenging because I would be jelous that she got to be born with the body I want (and vice versa) and I would find the sex akward if not impossible if she were pre-op. I know that probably makes me sound like I am only after one thing but sex is a part of a healthy relationship and it is important to me. I don't think I could stay in a relationship without it.

If she had a vagina then that would make the question boring since it'd be just like dating a cisgender girl.

My boyfriend is a transguy.
I know I said I would date one, but I just wanted to clarify I actually am.

Most likely not. I'm just not into girls at all.

I'd probably date another ftm, if I got along with them. I don't know if I'd be able to have sex with them, though (and I feel like a total ->-bleeped-<- for it). Any kind of female-bodied nudity throws me into an anxiety attack, now. I kind of hate myself for that.

Actually, just reading N.Chaos's comment. I think could become an issue :(
But then again it kinda has been in my relationships with gay men. From my side more than theirs. My body will always give me a low sex-drive I think, despite T and its hard for a bio-guy to accept that.

I suppose with an FTM there would be more understanding when it came to sexual relationships.

I date all types of human beings, so long as they're nice enough, we're on the same wavelength, etc. - so yes, I'd date a trans person.

In fact I seem to gravitate towards trans folk in particular, maybe 'cause I feel there's more of a chance since we'd understand each other, we have similar issues, etc... I'll deal with the sex issue if or when it happens :P

I would most definitely date an MTF. I know one that is absolutely stunning and I cherish the time I've been able to spend with her. But, I would also date an FTM. The only person I would have a problem dating is a cis man because of dysphoric reasons.

FTM I don't think I would but I'm not ruling it out at all, just feel it would be twice the drama

I'm bi so I am attracted to men and I find FTM's attractive but I think because I have so many insecurities and so much I dislike about myself I'd find it hard with an FTM as they'd share a lot of the things which I dislike because I dislike about myself, if that makes sence, no offence intended there, it's just me being weird and insecure haha. I wouldn't rule it out though, depends on the person not what gender they identify as.

Not sure about MTF because I prefer men so it's difficult for me to feel attracted to people who identify as female, but again not ruling it out :)

Post by: schism on February 23, 2012, 07:33:52 AM
i'm attracted to people on an emotional and mental level rather than physical, so it really doesn't matter to me what gender or sex they are.  if we have a connection, that's all that really matters.  the only thing i'd be concerned about is exacerbating either persons' dysphoria, particularly in a sexual context, but i think that in a relationship with an MTF there would be a level of complete understanding that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with a cis gendered person.

plus there are some really hot chicks here....

I would never date another trans individual.  Definitely not MTF cause I'm gay and I make sure to steer clear of other FTMs because of the horror stories I've heard.  Trans pairs (especially FTMs) tend to compare each other's progress, surgeries, and "passability" from what I've seen - and I could completely see myself do that.  It would just be unhealthy I think for me.

My first instinct would have been to disagree with you, but I know what you mean because I have known a number of FTM/FTM pairs and, yes, this can be a problem, but usually more when it's early in transition, I think. But, yeah for some reason this seems particularly common among FTM couples.

Now, as far as the original question goes:
Yes, I would and I have dated MTF's.

As far as FTM's go, I don't know. I'm less attracted to men generally. And it just seems kind of like opening pandora's box of disphoria, depending on what stage of transition.

For one couple I knew, the comparing went too far and the less-passable or not-as-far-along on T individual STOLE their partner's hormones without telling them so they could "catch up".  The other individual couldn't find their hormones (and didn't yet find out that the other one threw them away) and tried to get more.  Long story short, the doctor wouldn't prescribe another batch until the old prescription ran out and the individual got rather ill because they were suddenly out of T and they had been on it for years.  When the truth came out, the relationship ended.

A couple other stories include self-mutilation attempts (or self-surgeries) within couples where one is post-op and the other is pre-op, especially when in comes to top surgery.

I've also heard multiple stories of cheating and unfaithfulness because one of the partners decides that a strappy is simply not "man enough" than the "real" thing. 

Granted, the last one is not so much horror as much as it is foolishness.  But I think that would be another reason I could never date another FTM - although I do not agree that what is in between your legs defines what you are, I just simply could not have a sexual relationship with a person with biologically female genitalia.  Perhaps an asexual relationship if comparing wasn't an issue.  Overall, I think it would just be simpler to go with a biologically male partner.

To me, I don't see folks as FtM or MtF or anything like that. A lady is a lady if she says so, and a gent is a gent if he says so. And if you're neither/something in between/both/etc? I'll roll with it and do my best to be a supportive partner.

What matters to me is how I interact and get along with someone, not what's between their legs. If I can find someone to be happy with and find a great friend in, then I'm cool with them. Granted, if I were to date a trans lady(or even a cis guy), I would probably feel very envious of what they have and it might strain the relationship/make anything sexual damn near impossible, but if I cared enough about that person and they me, things might turn out alright.

Probably gonna bring down the fires of hell on myself, judging by the previous pages, but eh.
My view of it is pretty much that there's two levels of being attracted to someone (basically), gender identity and, in my case at least, the genitals themselves.
Personally, I like girls and have a strong preference for boobies/all the other girl-goods. So technically speaking, I'd be strictly attracted to ciswomen, I guess.

I like shorter, curvy girls, so if she's shorter and curvy then yea. There has to be some kind of physical attraction for me, otherwise I'd rather just be friends.

I use to only be attracted to MTFs as i started transitioning and as i learned to love myself but these days i find FTM's more attractive but i am still not able to even think about Cis people.. let alone cis men..

Personally i can't understand how trans people can be in a relationship with cis people like they  are something special.. when in reality its we who are special, if anybody is special

I am at a point in life where a relationship is not needed and well just having another to share my farm would be cool. any FTM's want to be a farmer ?  ;D

I absolutely believe this too. However, after dating a few transwomen, I will never date another one again. The stories would be enough to fill a novel.

I 100% believe MtF are true women but I just cannot date another one. I don't think I have the patience, willpower, and fortitude left in me anymore.

I dont think cis-genders are special, most cisgenders are kind of annoying to date, because most of them, dont know alot about the trans issue thing and your usunally there only knowlegde or exemple on good and bad, which kind of is annoying in a way.

but many people are cis and I dont really choice who I get attracted to or want to be with,
if I did I would plain it way better im sure.

My sexuality has been acting a little funny lately. When I started to transition I thought for sure I was gay, but now I'm not too positive. Sometimes I think I might like girls, but I dunno.

If I did like women without a doubt, of course I wouldn't reject someone for being a m2f. As long as I found them to be engaging and I was attracted, I don't see what the birth assignment has to do with it.

I can relate to this.

Prior to starting HRT, I was bisexual by orientation with a preference for women. About 2 months or so into HRT, I was much more towards the center of the Kinsey scale and I was really bi. Now, about 10 months into HRT, I'm finding that I just don't find men all that attractive anymore.

Hormones are powerful things indeed.

shorter then me
lighter
smaller feet

i must also find them attractive i have very specific taste so its hard to find a cis girl that i would date before even considering personality.

As a Pre-Op MTF I have found this thread very interesting. I have for many years only been interested in Women and in transition identify as a Lesbian, but my Australian therapist asked me this very question a couple of sessions ago , just as I was starting again on HRT about whether I could be interested in a relationship with a FTM Transman. I am best probably described as a Lipstick Femme, but as the HRT has started to get hold, I find myself being more and more attracted to Soft Butch women or Boi lesbians. I am not interested in a CIS Male relationship at all, but certainly I could date and have a relationship  with a FTM as I believe they would want me to be the feminine partner and I would want them to be the more masculine partner (but without the agressiveness of cis males).

As my body changes and as I am mentally and emotionally change, I find that being close to women or even FTM transitioning can be a tremendously supportive partnership.

I don't have a problem seeing her as female, but being pre-T (grrrr), I believe she might not always see me as male. (Not sure she sees me as female exactly either.)

Ftms aren't Soft Butch women or "Bois". They're men. Also, you seem to be projecting a lot on a large group of men in assuming trans guys have some intrinsic difference from cis guys in their personalities. Hell, I don't even expect cis women to be intrinsically different from men in personality, particularly in aggression, considering some stuff I've seen. But regardless of alleged "personality differences" I'm still a man. You wanna see me as a "boi" I'll start calling you a "lifestyle queen" 'cause the whole "ftms are lesbiannsss and special-different from cis men" thing has gotten way too old for me.

To answer the thread topic: I like peen too much to be with a fellow ftm. I can sympathise if I dude's not into me. For some people that's no big deal for others not so. If we could get decent penises then yeah absolutely. With what we've got, I've seen it, I'm just not into it.

I agree with this. I am not a big fan of the boi thing anyways, unless you are talking about some kind of lesbian. Some people might prefer a ftm, because not a typical man (though what exactly is typical anyhow??). I think for some more queer people the other thing that might be appealing is not having typical male "equipment".

But saying we are like bois or soft butch (Huh, thought some used to be stone butch types)  is not going to get you too far.

Though I am pre-T (grrr), my girl friend makes of calling me "him" and using male terms. I don't think I'd stick around if I got the idea I was being treated like some "boi". UGH,

I don't know if I could.  I was going out with someone who at the time thought that they were a cis male, and they knew that I really struggled that part of it as I'm not attracted to males at all, and often commented that they'd become a girl if it meant that I would be happier with them.  As trans I refused point blank to even consider it thinking that it would have made them really dysphoric, but now they've got over their internalised transphobia (they were accepting of trans people and did activism and stuff, just not themselves) they've realised that they're andro/genderqueer/MTF (something a lot nearer to female than male anyway).  I'm in a relationship with a ciswoman now, but I've wondered occasionally, hypothetically of course, if I would be able to go back out with them knowing that they weren't male now.  I think the answer would still be no, but as someone who's probably demisexual it's not something I can easily answer.  If I really like someone I'll give it a go with them I suppose, but for now it's irrelevant and difficult to think about.

I'm in a long term relationship with a cis female but if circumstances were altered I would prefer a relationship with a transwoman. I think there would be something nice about having someone who totally understands what you're going through without you having to explain everything.

Post by: Adam (birkin) on January 17, 2013, 06:51:27 PM
I checked this thread to see if I had answered before, but couldn't find it...anyway, the answer is yes. :) I've been attracted to both cis women and trans women, and to me, it all feels the same. As I see it, a beautiful woman is a beautiful woman.

Since a few other people brought up pre-op/non-op versus post-op, I'll also say that isn't a factor for me. It's just a small part of the whole woman, for one, and for another, after a period of time on HRT, it seems that most of the time a girl penis reacts and responds a lot different from a boy penis.

I'm attracted to neutral to masculine energy so if the fellow FTM (or MTF* even) falls into this category then sure.
*As in, the rugged, sporty, athletic, outdoorsy type.  I used to say unlikely I'd date an MTF because they're heading towards the feminine end of the spectrum, but after thinking about it, that's a generalization.

For sure, I can't date anyone with a cat as I am quite allergic and I will never make them choose me over the cat.

Not meaning this as a challenge, but neither of the two cis guys I've had sex with were especially aggressive, unless you count as aggressive the fact that they pursued me and made their desires clear to me. Granted, the second one may have been partially interested because he wanted someone who would accept his desire to crossdress. He claimed (and I definitely believed, considering his presentation and what I know of his interests (which is a lot, since I'd known him socially for about 12 years or more before he started coming onto me) that he is NOT a transwoman. He may be overcompensating a bit -- he does ironman competitions -- but he seemed all man to me, even in a blouse, short shorts and mismatched pantyhose.

I could definitely be attracted to a transman (have admired them for years) but I would be a little concerned that he might have doubts about my intentions, and the fact that I have been lesbian-identified for decades, and regarded my ex from early on as something of a soft butch, might well trigger insecurities for someone who wants above all to be considered a man and nothing else, much as I wish I believed I could be treated as a woman and not fetishized for my trans-ness?

I appreciated that the guys who came onto me were relatively able to ask for what they wanted, and were careful to ask me what I wanted, rather than assume they already knew. I have and had a lot of prejudices about men in general, most of which extend to transmen as much as cis men -- sometimes perhaps even more, since "being man enough" can be a concern and source of insecurity for any man.

I do want to echo what I've read many times in this thread, that some of the attraction would be grounded in knowing that in many ways we are likely to speak the same language, in terms of having both dealt with living as someone transgendered in this world.

I wouldn't date a mtf, I think. I'm gay, but have also always been attracted to androgyny. I have never ruled out the possibility that I might fall for a woman, it just wouldn't be a very feminine one.

As for dating a ftm.. I kinda feel that if I'm gonna be in a relationship with another guy, at least one of us should have a penis. But oh well. Not a deal breaker if I'm attracted to someone in the first place.

Hi Bosch and Aleon;

I am awfully sorry if I have offended you. Of course all FTM are Men, just as all MTF are Women. I identify as a woman and I accept that you both identify as Men. What I was trying to say was that like ourselves, I find the transmen have an amazing ability to bridge the gap so as to speak; knowing what its like to be a woman for their earlier life, but experiencing everything (emotionally, physically etc) of being a man. The few transmen that I have known over the years have been truly amazing people  and without the aggression and rudeness of some cis gendered males that I have known , or in my case suffered under.

Hugs

I think we do know about both sides. For instance, I think more trans men would be feminists than cis men (yes, I mean feminist males of course.) I am definitely not, nor will I ever be, an aggressive male.

I believe being socialized as female, while socialization of females is sort of a heavy duty thing, also confers a few advantages, enabling some of us to be more social for instance.

I'm really tempted here to say something catty about my last (cis) boyfriend's penis. I really wish I had pics.
Ditto but for me it was the boyfriend before last. A sweet cisguy but sex was almost as if we were lesbians.

My girlfriend's actually MtF, so in a nutshell, yes. :]
