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 "Chasers", 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'.
