Hello gentlemen!

As of what title says, would you take a serious relationship with transgender girl? And you also know that she has full change completely like a girl.

This is a open topic so please don't hesitate to share what you think about that.

Thank you for your time!

Hi Heather2 welcome

I'm 60yo. I'm of the generation that alienated ourselves from non straight people. Times have changed. But the roots of thoughts haven't.

Yet I am fine with non straight people. I must still draw the line if I was single and met a non straight person as far as having an intimate relationship.

But times have changed and if I was 30 years younger it would likely be fine to go ahead. So I think age has a bearing on this.

dear Heather, welcome to the forum with your very interesting comment.

If you can look at this transgender girl as just being a girl and not what has happened to her, then why not, however if you keep asking questions to yourself that 'you are dating a male who has changed sexuality and is now a female', then it will only confuse you.

I'm sure the discussion will arise about why did he want to change sexuality, but it seems to be obvious why he wanted to, and to talk about it maybe sensitive, so just let the relationship go on as a normal, that's something for the both of you to decide on.

Good luck. Geoff. x

Thanks for your replies White Knight and Geoff.

I understand that should be a bit confused for straight men to date with full change transgender women. However, if you do love someone, you won't care what they are and you only think about who that person is but I know it still depends on how people's open minded are.

Have a nice day,

Heather

Hi Heather,

The trans women I know who date men generally have a difficult time finding men who aren't complete jerks, but that's a struggle anyway no matter where on the binary you are. Generally if someone is interested in you it shouldn't matter and there are people out there who aren't phased or at least open minded and hearted enough to see a person as a person and worthy of attention. I know it's frustrating, best of luck.

Hi Hamlet,

Thank you for your advice and reply. I always can see it's not that easy for trans women who wants to date with straight men, I can't say it's unfair for them but at least they have tried being strong to be the person who they want to be and trans women is also very real women as same as women. Life is never easy but there is still something that we can hope..

Have a good night,

Heather

Hi Heather2

You replied to me and Geoff with this answer in part-

"I understand that should be a bit confused for straight men to date with full change transgender women. However, if you do love someone, you won't care what they are and you only think about who that person is but I know it still depends on how people's open minded are."

Let me respond to this and this thread. You asked the question wanting feedback as to if men would date a transgender woman. Then when an answer came back eg from me, saying basically no and I give me one of my reasons...then you say the above that "if you do love someone you wont care" and "it depends on how open minded you are".

Let's look at that. There is a human instinct for many of us to have children, to reproduce is inground in our persona. Transgender women would not be able to do that for us. Also, to be strictly heterosexual is not a crime. I'm happy to be so. But I accept others for their own choices after all, its non of my business. By being strictly heterosexual does not mean I'm not open minded. In fact that comment that I am not open minded is a little insulting. But I'm a big boy so I wont care too much about that.

The manner which you asked this question seems to be a mild form of entrapment. As if you had an agenda when you asked the question. Like, I'll ask a question knowing my beliefs and feelings about it and when I get answers that flow against my beliefs I'll say that those people are not open minded and one should love a transgender woman "if you really love one".

Some of us can love people no matter who they are, colour of skin, sexual preference, country of origin etc, it makes no difference to me.

So I ask this question. Say you are 25yo. You meet a 89yo person male or female. Would you allow yourself to fall in love with him/her? You might not find him/her attractive, not of similar age group, not active enough, different interests and so on the list might go. But if you didn't date that person I wouldn't say to you that you are not open minded. Hope you get my meaning

Just my views.

Hi WK,

You might get me wrong about what I replied, I never mean to say you are not open minded cause you are straight. Everyone is different. I mean some are, some aren't but that's just normal in life anyway. So I'm sorry if something not right in that reply but I really didn't mean anything bad.

Thanks again for your sharing,

Heather

Hi Heather2

Thankyou so much for your gracious reply.

It isn't easy not to read into things on a computer. Sorry also if I misread you. All good

Hi Heather2, it wouldn't be a problem for me. Personally, a good heart is more important than the gender you were born with.
