I don't have breasts implants. Haven't had hormones either. Do you think it's possible to test the waters and start dating now? I'd be a crossdresser even though I'm technically trans.

Of course it is (possible), it's certainly harder for ANYONE in the LGBT umbrella, (yes, even harder for bi folks, who have to worry about their partner worrying that they lust after everyone they meet, a common misconception of bi people). There's no reason you won't be able to find someone accepting, or even proud of who you are, it just might take longer, unless you already have a good idea where to look.

Possible? Absolutely.

Easy? Absolutely not.

Maddiecinder,

Definitely possible. Dating is a numbers thing, the more activity the more return (gosh that sounds sort of cold). The categories of who you can date may be seem narrow, but there are a lot of people out there.

An example might be truly bisexual men who date up and down the gender spectrum. They may care a lot less about to what degree the body is feminized.

I'm nearing 12 months into hormone therapy, and I still find it very hard to find someone to date. Feminizing yourself won't make that any easier. You have to be able to click with someone on that level, and that can be very challenging regardless. Especially if you are someone that is very self centered, and easily offended. (Like myself.) The only thing it makes easier is attracting perverts that want to use you as a toy. I, myself am not looking for that type of ordeal. I want someone I can love, and be loved back by. Whether that be a boy, or a girl. I'm bisexual, and even though people say that makes me more 'free', I still have only had 1 relationship these 12 months. The rates haven't exactly increased the slightest compared to when I identified as male, and was 100% straight. Gender hasn't much to do with my ability to cope with others.

Oh, I would also like to note that I do this for myself. I am not who I am for the likes of others. Self love is very important to me.
