Because for me it's a wonderful feeling to be close to someone who understands my biggest issue so perfectly?
Aside from that one thing, I don't see any difference between dating mtfs and cis girls. It all comes down to personality and compatibility. Why would I care how the person was born? I care about the now, and about the future.
Plus, just because someone technically is a "MTF", that do not mean that the person necessarily have any experience of a male life, other then having been assigned as Male at birth.
Many MTF's transitions very young, and especially nowadays, when some even transitions at age 6 or 7, such as"Jazz", an MTF that are now 11 and have lived as a girl since four or five years.
She have never been a male, regardless of the set of genitals she were born with, so the only way a relationship later on with her would be homosexual, would be if she ended up with a girl.
As for why some people specifically prefers MTF's, it could be anything. Some do it because of the genitals excludignly, or, so called "->-bleeped-<-s", while others got the hots for MTF's because they, as they often describes it, are "more female than bio-females". In short, because they are attracted to femininity and thinks that MTF's(Whether pre or post-op, as this type do not care about the genital set) have an extra amount of that.
While yet others are attracted to the concept; That the T-person had such a strong self-awareness, identity and guts that they took the step to modify the body to match those.
Only the specific person that is attracted to T-persons knows why, as every such one have their own reason.
I am adding the following interview with 'Jazz'.
