I like women. Trans women are women. So long as we get along I don't see it as an issue.

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

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.

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).

I think way more trans people are gay/bi so on, than cis because trans people tend to be more openminded about it,
well thats how I see it, if I already have dealt so much about comming out as a guy, which is pretty hard, then why be in the closet with my sexualety?

I don't think so.  Sexuality doesn't really have to do with open-mindedness but who you are attracted to.

not like that,
I just think more transpeople are able to admit there gay or bi or whatever than cis-genered people.

I would date anyone that I liked for who they are not what they have. Otherwise how the hell would I expect anyone to do the same for me?

I wish I could say the same, but it doesn't work for me.

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.

I don't really know any gay or trans people in real life. Just online and it seems most are. It's never seemed fluid for me.

I agree.

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 WENT TO A TRANS SEMINAR IN ATLANTA LAST MONTH AND SAW A BUNCH OF GUYS THAT  LOOKED ALL MAN WITH HAIRY CHEST LEGS BEARDS AND WOW I WAS FREAKING OUT,

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.

No one is going to build a bridge for you to live under.  But most of us probably will not read your posts as all capitals are rather hard on our eyes. 

Using half-way decent spelling, grammar and punctuation is merely a common courtesy here.

OHHH  YOU NEED TO BUILD A BRIDGE TOO LOL.

ITS VERY SIMPLE. DONT READ IT IF IT BOTHERS YOUR EYES AND DONT REPLY EITHER. ITS VERY RUDE TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY NEED TO DO. AND HOW THEY NEED TO WRITE.

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.

Enough folks, stop the attack of words.

And btw I'd date anyone if they're OK irrespective of their gender, ethnic origin, religious belief etc...

LMAO
