Straight male. Very much in the maybe category. In my(admittedly limited) experience, transsexuals tend to retain attributes that I find a huge turn off on females. Like huge shoulders etc. On the other hand, if she looks anything like Caroline Cossey during her Bond girl days, then hell yes! 
Female, bi - sorry, but no.
I think you shoulda broken it down by sex, as well. Women with transgender men is different than men with transgender women. The genitalia issue is a real issue, and my understanding is that transgender men aren’t nearly as advanced as transgender women, surgically speaking. In fact, virtually all the transgender men I’ve ever seen in interviews and so forth have elected to skip trying to create a penis and have stuck with the enlarged clitoris, which I understand 100% from their own perspective, but from a woman’s perspective who is having sex with this man… not really the same. Yes, a penis actually is an enlarged clitoris, technically speaking, but the enlargement that happens through being born male vs. hormonally changed is very different. I’ve seen some hormonally changed clitorises, and they are not penises, at least, not for me.
I consider myself somewhat bisexual, although I’ve never had a longterm relationship with a woman. But sexually, I’m pretty clear on enjoying women’s bodies as women’s bodies and mens and men’s, and, in my imagination at least, I don’t think I’d find a transgendered man appealing from either perspective.
A transgendered woman? I don’t think I’d have any problem with that.
Gay male - No. Pretty much for the issues Stoid mentioned. It may be superficial, but the penis is an important thing for me as part of the longer term attraction to a man.
No way in hell for a variety of reasons. I like my women to be the real deal and I won’t waffle on that. I don’t do men even if they chose to resign from their previous position sue to circumstances beyond their control. I also don’t want to deal with the fallout and hassle from others if it were to be. Don’t get me wrong, I would hang out at a party with a group of transsexuals all night long and probably have a good time but I would be going to bed alone that night no matter how talented the surgeons are.
OK, so I just discovered something I don’t like about myself. I so want to be able to say I wouldn’t mind, but now that you ask me, I find that I do. Don’t know where that’s coming from.
I have some serious pondering to do. But for the moment I have to say I would not be comfortable with it.
Perhaps I am assuming that he wouldn’t really “feel” male to me? I have never (to my knowledge) known anyone who was F to M transsexual. If I couldn’t tell, I don’t think it would bother me when I found out. . . hmmmnnn.
Straight male, and not in a million years. Quite simply, I do not respect their beliefs, and I have no desire to date someone who defines themself by beliefs I do not respect.
Beliefs?
Bi-sexual here, and hell yes. Also, anything inbetween to be perfectly honest.
Though I haven’t really met very many ‘very good jobs’ unfortunately. I can safely say I wouldn’t have been scrubbing my mouth out if I was there in the end scene of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
I said, no, although I guess never say never. I have a hard time imagining I could be attracted to someone who did that for pretty much the same reasons as I would have a hard time taking seriously, say, a white person who got plastic surgery because they thought they were a black person trapped in a white body.
Mind you - the hang up would be entirely my problem, not theirs. Other people’s lives are their own to do what they want with. The part of me that yells at the TV every time I see a bit of historical inaccuracy just never shuts up.
oh - straight female. I think men & women (and white & black people) are all attractive as is.
So maybe this post will make me look like a real jerk, but here goes anyway.
I did. I am bisexual and when I met him he was identifying as gender fluid, as in sometimes feels like he identified more with male and sometimes more with female. He finally settled on a male identity and is currently transitioning, though we’ve since grown apart mainly because our interests have changed and also because toward the end of our relationship he met his now fiancée. (Might I add, he was and is a total hunk. May it never be said that I had bad taste.)
It’s not a deal breaker for me but I gained an appreciation for the fact that it is something that makes life really damn difficult. It’s something that can be difficult for family members to understand or accept, and it’s something that can put a lot of emotional stress on both partners in the relationship. It’s just like dating someone with a mental illness or a disability - you know that there are certain factors that will, necessarily, cause your life to be more complicated. It doesn’t mean you’ll discriminate against them or that you’ll love them less, just that you have to be prepared for that relationship.
So like I said, not a deal breaker - but I think something that has to be considered especially when you’re going into a long term relationship. It’s the recognizing that by making the decision to be in a relationship with that person, your life will change, and some parts of it will be very, very hard. So I think I would have to be sure that I felt the kind of love for them that means you will put up with the hardest of hard parts. And when you’re just dating someone, before it becomes a really devoted relationship, that’s hard to know.
tl;dr version: maybe/I don’t know.
Straight female - nope. Friends only.
I’d have trouble dating a male-to-female transgendered person who’d lived as a man for a while. If she was, say, 20 when she decided to take the plunge, I probably wouldn’t mind.
Straight female – and I while I HATE to say this, I don’t believe I could. It’s not that I don’t believe trans individuals ARE the gender they say they are – but physically, there are differences. (Like as others have pointed out with transmen, you really cannot construct a new penis – science isn’t that advanced yet)
So, I guess I have to say no. I feel really shitty. 
(It’s not like I have any problems with trans people…just that I have problems with dating them…I feel like an asshole)
Yeah I think I’d be fine with it. I know some FtMs and they’ve all been pretty attractive. IMO, in general, it’s easier for a female to look male than for a male to look like a female. (Not talking about the genital issue, which has already been discussed, but just face & body features.)
I put maybe.
Typically, no. But if he/she looked Halle Berry or something I might be tempted. I think 9 times out of 10 it’d be a no.
Gone through everything already, including surgery? Yes.
Transsexuality not realized until after we’ve met? No. Personal reasons.
Bisexual woman, and I think I’d be okay with it - though probably more inclined to trans women than men, cos what I like about men physically are things including broad shoulders (although I like it when men have a non-flat backside) and I’m not really picky about women as much.
I think I could relate more to a trans woman too, for obvious reasons.
Straight woman, and I’ve known both MtF and FtM people. I’m pretty sure I’d be all right with it, unless, as some have mentioned, I knew them well pre-transition. The penis wouldn’t be too much of a problem, I think – that’s what vibrators are for.
I feel that way about all my close friends though, male or female. I can’t think of ANY of my closest friends in a sexual way at all, I couldn’t even compare them. I just CANT think of them that way.
FTR I voted “Bisexual and don’t care” however I consider myself Pansexual, really seeing no limits based on sex, sexuality or gender. I really love the person on the inside. That sounds SO wanky, but thats the best way to explain it.
When meeting new people or out in public, i generally just say “gay” since I have a long term boyfriend and there’s no need to get into the other stuff for no reason.
