Can a person be a trans '->-bleeped-<- ->-bleeped-<-'?

There's something about the majority of trans people (obvious exceptions for the horrible specimens that exist within every group of people) that I find compelling, beautiful, attractive.

I worry that this makes me as shallow and sinister as the cis ->-bleeped-<- ->-bleeped-<-s who label us as 'exotic', 'different', 'unique' – who tell us that our genders are mere 'performances' and that the so-called 'discrepancy' between different parts of our bodies is a turn-on.

I think that a trans person who is atracted to other transfolks is alot diferant than a ->-bleeped-<-.
When a trans person talks of trans lovers one of the first things mentioned is the inate understanding of GID a fellow trans person brings to the table. A ->-bleeped-<- is looking for a cross gendered body to fulfil a fetish.
big diferance

I'm MtF and have come to feel that I could never truly be with a cis person. I've become asexual since starting HRT, but... is poly-amorous the word? I'm not interested in gender or appearance anymore, just personality and how I feel about a person.

I think the term is "pansexual".  Polyamory/polyamourus generally is taken to mean multiple loves (more than one person in a relationship with someone else)--I fail at describing it.

no fail
you pretty much hit it right on the head

I know some transsexual women who only date other transsexual women and/or guys that chase pre-op transsexual women. I feel some girls feel they may never fit into regular society and think that the only way they will be able to get affection is in these two groups. This is just my opinion.

I also know some crossdressers who are ->-bleeped-<-s of pre-op transsexual women. Some dress to get closer to transsexual women.

I do NOT like being the target of a fetish just because of who I am. I will, however, date some admirers for companionship but no way possible things will ever get intimate. Keep your hands off my unwanted privates. Period.

I think some transsexuals will never stop living their transition long enough to live life. I want to get to the end of my physical transition so that I can just live my life.

I think these guys are really trans women who can not come out in many cases.

Yes - and then some of us do completely leave the scene, only for life to bowl us a random bouncer and present us with a partner that we never anticipated.

If you told me during transition, or even when I was first postop, that a few years later I would end up sharing my life with a transwoman I would have told you that you were certifiable on at least two or three counts.

First I wasn't that into women, and second a transwoman seemed to me to come with all sots of potential complications that I simply wasn't prepared to deal with.

Unfortunately true love obeys no rules. It comes when it will, and it a brave or foolish person who walks away just because this wasn't what you expected or wanted.

Well, there is one without a doubt knows he is a crossdresser and the other hasn't admitted but everyone around him knows. I guess there is always the possibility that you are right about the second one!
