Being too relatable due to dysphoria and accidentally ending up with a tucute are reasons why I don’t date trans women.
Most trans women i’ve met irl, even if they pass, have always been hypersexual PIV likers who want trans men to use what they’re born with and always break up when their boyfriends suggest otherwise. Not wanting to be too relatable comes from not wanting my transsexualism brought up a lot.
My cis girlfriend doesn’t talk about it unless i bring it up first and it feels respectful

I have dysphoria and I hate to be trans so I don’t have the energy to support another person dysphoria. Also
it feels validating (idk how to say that) to succeed in seducing a cis woman
I agree. On one side, I guess it would be nice if your partner understood your struggles, but it would also cause more stress for the both of us rather if one person was cis. It really depends on the person too, maybe you really like a partner who’s going through it like you, idk

I'm a post-op lesbian and I banked before I started (it wasn't enjoyable, it was just business, and the whole process was very, very weird). I'd still like to be able to produce a genetic child.
I did date one other trans woman, and it was a terribly toxic relationship. I'm someone that is normally very stable and secure, but we have the exact same insecurities. She would spiral and when I'd try to support her, she would often spiral even harder, sometimes causing me to spiral too.
I also have an aversion to penises, so anyone that has one isn't my cup of tea, and it's not transphobic to say you're not attracted to someone's parts, no matter how much people on the main subs feel entitled to guilt, shame, and manipulate people.
Further,
I'm not part of the socio-political movement. I have a medical condition. I want nothing to do with the people that have colonized, appropriated, diminished, and erased people with a medical condition to justify their funsies. If I was willing to date someone, it would be another medical minority, not anyone that was a gender performer out to exploit medical minorities.
yep i absolutely get you. i dont believe it’s transphobic to have a genital preference/requirement, but it’s probably iffier when people have an aversion to dating trans people because theyre trans. i think a lot of times those people have warped views of us, especially because of tucutes.
however, im also not going to tell anyone they have to feel any certain way about me or anyone else, because that’s weird and rapey lol. i also get the shit about dysphoria olympics some trans people do with their partner etc

The main thing is that I’m a strictly gay guy. I like big dicks and masculinity. Another aspect is that I was in a T4T relationship when we’d both just come out and
it became the dysphoria olympics. They were always trying to one up me on how bad we had it and made both of us feel even shittier. I worry another T4T relationship would be similar
[–]i-need-helppppp
I wouldn’t be able to have sex with a trans guy, it would make me too dysphoric. Maybe him having phallo would be good enough but idk much about that surgery
There’s also the factor that
I don’t want to date someone shorter than me and at 5’8” I feel it would be low probability of finding a trans guy taller
[–]uuuuuggghhhhhhh
I’ve been fetishized more by other trans people than I have cis people and oftentimes trans people are not subtle about their fetishization. I’m only really attracted to cis men as a trans woman because
I’m “phallosexual”. I love dicks, and trans men don’t have them/surgery isn’t there enough yet to pass. Also the trans guys I have met are too femme and or
have more emotional hangups/are constantly seeking external validation
this is understandable. ive seen some realistic phallo/meta dicks, but ill agree that those ones are sadly few and far between
I’m sure there are some out there but yeah they’re just not as common. Having to inflate a penis or kick stand it would just take me out of the moment.
Sometimes a trans person will fetishize me and it makes me wonder if they merely transitioned to get closer to other trans people. So I just keep all those interactions strictly platonic.
oh yea the whole reason im going for meta (metoidioplasty) is because it uses the existing phallic anatomy and enhances it. (preserving natural erectile function) unfortunately, 95% of metas are comparable to micropenises, so if that’s not something you’re into, it probably wont be your thing. i know of one guy who was 4-5 inches hard, but that is an exceptional outlier lol
but yea idk why so many trans people are very fetishistic of other trans people. dont get me started on 4chan fetishization of transsexual women :/
It’s not necessarily the size for me. My cis husband is very average in size so it’s more of the penis itself.
I started transitioning in 2014 and can remember a distinct shift from being fetishized by cis men to being fetishized by trans people in 2019

I'm not entirely opposed to the concept.
But they'd have to pass, and be normal.
Which is a bar that seems almost impossible for the current trans community to meet so it seems unlikely I'd run into one of the rare ones out there, especially since I'm not looking.
[–]SadShoeBox
Personally I’m not necessarily opposed to other trans people, the only issue with them is that the majority of trans people are tucutes. Them not being a transmed would be a solid dealbreaker for me.
I’m also stealth and wouldn’t be interested in anyone who also isn’t stealth. Blending in and assimilating is important to me and I would need someone who felt the same. I also would need someone who I don’t amplify nor they amplify my dysphoria.

I have a genital preference so most likely cis men would have the parts I want. If someone had phallo and was a trans man I wouldn’t be against dating them but I do not find vaginas attractive at all so they’d have to be post-op. I am a trans man who is also medically transitioned fully
[–]KeyNo7990
TBH I don't really have a strong preference. I would say my concerns with dating trans women are first and foremost the dating pool size. There's not a ton of trans people around me, and when you filter out the tucute/otherwise annoying trans people, I'd be hunting around for a needle in a haystack.
But assuming I could find a trans woman to date (a good transsexual woman, you know, someone I could take home to meet my mom) then my only beef would be just how queer our relationship would look if people knew we were T4T. I think as a trans man with a cis woman, I could pull off a *just a normal guy* vibe. But
if I'm a trans man dating a trans woman then it starts to feel more like a sitcom gag. Which I realize is shitty and entirely just me worrying about society judging us. But you know, society does do that. All that said I think I'd still rather a trans woman over a cis woman because of shared experiences, with all the caveats of *not as cis women are like that* and *not all trans women either*.

Honestly as a trans lesbian, Id be open to dating another trans woman if I found the right one. But therein lies my personal problem. I want a pretty lipstick lesbian girl. As bad as it sounds… and
even as hypocritical, because I am unattractive… that’s what turns me on. So, someone just starting a transition, is masculine, or a tucute who doesn’t actually know who they are is a turn off. And as someone else mentioned above, I have zero interest in being someone’s fetish… which it seems is common even amongst other trans people. So I tend to naturally, meaning just without thought, be attracted to cis women.
lol, but that’s also a big portion of why I’ll probably be single for the rest of my life.
[–]queerluminati
I have enough baggage and trauma from my own dysphoria. I don’t want to have to deal with another person’s.
Also the likelihood of them being a tucute (esp coming from a socially liberal city) is just higher when dating other trans people.

I just hate female genitalia, and I like masculine people.
Trans women arent masculine even though I know some have penises. Trans men can be masculine, but most wont have penises.
Ive dated both a trans man and a non-trans man before and I was fine with the trans man in everything except sex, and I was fine with the sex with the non-trans man but I didnt like his femininity.
In my case, its not a preference. It might be some aspect of me being self conscious (in terms of not wanting to see or touch a vagina, or be around someone with a 'gay voice') or it might be some form of protection to not be bullied/assaulted/harrassed, idk. But I genuinely cannot stand dating or being hit on by any of those groups of people except non-trans men.
I dont know how I'd feel about a man who has had a phalloplasty, I feel like I'd be perfectly fine with it. But its not at all easy to distinguish between trans men who have had or, or trans men who haven't had it - and I dont particularly care to upset someone by making them dysphoric or uncomfortable by that question so I avoid it altogether.

Well, I'm gonna get downvoted to oblivion here, but most trans folks just don't seem to act like adults... most are chronically online, don't have a job, don't have a degree, don't have a life beyond being trans, and have no responsibility. Of course, i'm generalizing, but we're already rare, most trans folks act like that, the ones who don't are even rarer, and I have never personally met one.
I was open to it at the start, it was easier for me because i'm bi, my libido was always low, so although I had a preference for the male genitalia, the female one didn't bothered me that much, so
I dated a few trans people at the start, both men and women acted like children, couldn't hold a job, didn't even study consistently, they had to tell everyone they were trans, and make issue with everyone who didn't make a big deal about them being trans.
Then the straw who broke the camel's back...
started dating a trans woman, no job, made fun of me for going to college because "it was stupid, and you can become rich without it", sat on her fancy pc all day until 3 a:m while making noise while I exhausted myself in classes and making deliveries in my bike to pay for bills.
Her family was rich rich, and her aunt offered her a 40k a year work taking pictures of cars "My aunt is such a b... offering me a job at a car company instead of a tech one, I wanna work with graphic design, but I don't have support from my family". Ok, here's 400 bucks every month to pay for art school even though I can't afford it. Skipped most classes, ended up completely giving up on it.
"Oh, I want to make deliveries like you" Not sure why you would want that, but sure, I'll stretch and get you 2 thousand bucks so you can get your driver's license for cars and bikes(yeah, that expensive in my country). Skipped classes, time limit went up, lost my money.
Couldn't go anywhere or solve anything alone, I had to stop working and go with her anywhere she had to go, got her documents changed, her health insurance, literally everything had to be me.
After 2 years bleeding me of my money,
i got fed up with it, gave her 3 months to get a job and move out, helped her make amends with her family, she actually got a job, only to quit 2 months in to "work with cosplaying", not my problem anymore.
Being spoiled wasn't the problem, I have met struggling trans folks who were exactly the same, one was 10 years into her transition, had no job, and didn't even changed her name despite passing perfectly because "going out is scary". Yeah it's scary, I hate leaving my house too, but I do it because I have to...
"How is it compared to dating a cis person?" My Boyfriend is Independent, graduated, got a job, bought his own place at 30 years old, is actually a partner rather than a parasite, yeah, he's a nerd and hates leaving his place, too(I have a type lol), solves his own problems, only needing help occasionally, and helps me too when I need it, helps me cooking, helps me cleaning, has a life. Other than all the qualities that made me fall in love with him like actually listening to me, hearing me talk about cars for hours even though he has no interest in cars, going out with me in my 1995 daihatsu mira shitbox on our first date, doing everything for me, and I do my best to reciprocate.
And yeah, most cis people my age and even millennials are somewhat similar to my ex, but as I said, cis people are 99% of the population, so it's much easier to find decent ones.
"Oh, and how about that "college is for idiots" thing?" Idk, maybe making 70k a year at 24 while everyone who said that that college isn't worth it is unemployed or making minimum wage, job hopping because they can't hold a job right now?
So yeah, 90% of trans folks live in lalaland and refuse to grow up, and I mostly don't even interact with them due to that...

- I'm not into micropenises or erectile dysfunction. And I'm REALLY not into vag or a plastic penis.
- Talking about trans shit is a turn-off.
- It's like uncanny valley or whatever it's called. I can see female features because I'm used to looking for them and it's off-putting.
- Too many trans people want to be open or be a part of the community or wear pride flags. I'm not into that.
- I don't want to date someone who might end up supporting sandgender and drumstick pronouns or some shit.
- There are so few trans men. I don't like having to add "binary" to what should just be "trans men" but so many trans men are identifying as transmasc nonbinary trans men and I am not interested in nonbinary people. I think nonbinary is a real gender, but I also think woman is a real gender. I don't have to be attracted to them to think they are real.

I only date cis and straight women ngl.
Straight was always a requirement but regarding cis, I’ve dated a TS woman before and while she fit all my criteria, double dysphoria doomed that relationship.
It’s horrible stuff that you can never tell your partner and just have to bury, feeling jealous about traits your GF cries about everyday for example. We were both passing and late in transition so I cannot even imagine how bad it is “early on”.
The unsaid “envy” started to put arguments everywhere, everyday things became grating, each other’s dysphoria we could (in theory) but couldn’t understand (in practice) because it’s opposite.
Also
she saw every cis girl as a threat due to her dysphoria. Because of my job I’m around attractive women all day and I get a lot of attention. I didn’t want any of them nor even reply to any DM yet I got my phone searched weekly…and I can understand. But it was not healthy.
We’d probably be married today if we were both cis, and we still loved each other when we broke up but this was unfixable.
We both have cis gf/bf now and the glow up is real on both ends.
“Straight T4T” does NOT work imo
So since this was a best case scenario and still failed I just date cis women now.

I've been fetishised, but only by trans people.
I'm gay, so I don't like men. And I don't like dicks, so I'm not attracted to most trans women. Most trans people you meet are also way into trans culture and all that entails, which I'm actively turned off by.
I'm also not into what testosterone does to a person, which also rules out most trans women.
I also value maturity in a partner, and
I've met way more immature trans women than I have cis women.
