I would without a 2nd thought. I'm not too particular about how someone looks or anything, I'm not even that particular about the personality. If I like someone, then I'd give a relationship a chance probably.
Could You Date A Transexual?

I used to have multiple transexual friends but I would never engage with them in a romantic or sexual fashion - that resulted in me losing them as friends, apparently.
I am of the stern belief that you are the sex you were born as, no matter what medical practices are performed on you and no matter what you believe or think you are. I will treat an individual how they wish to be treated, call them by whatever pronoun they desire - but they can not demand I THINK of them as the sexuality or gender they were not born as.
I will not be romantic with men, I will not be romantic with M->F, and I will not be romantic with F->M.
I believe they have every right to behave in whatever sexual or gender specific way they desire but they will make no demand as to how I function in a sexual or gender specific way. I will stay out of thier sexual business and they will stay out of my sexual business. Thus, we can respect each other.

Hmm, well I've seen some pretty attractive ones on television, and being raised as a boy, it's likely she wouldn't have the anti-male sentiment that modern women are raised with (shut up, I fill three threads with reasons why women are raised to think of men as merely being tools, but no one will listen because people only listen to what they want to hear.)
Sure I'd give it a try.

I understand the hardships you may have faced, but if you want to get scientific -- by looking at biological evidence... it lies within your DNA... simple as that.Ren_Li said:
XX female / XY male
To chastise people for being turned off at a sex change (a strictly 'cosmetic' procedure...) would be to chastise someone for being a human being.
It is hard wired into our brains to want to reproduce... it is the very most basic important characteristic of living next to being able to sustain yourself within your environment.
I strongly disagree with people who would act violently or put you down or bully etc upon learning of your situation, but you have to understand that people being turned off by it as a natural response.
As far as pure physicality goes and not dating. You win lolsethisjimmy said:
As far as long term relationship or dating goes, would not have a problem. Either pre or post op (standard definition) really. I do not want children, so that would not stand in my way.
I often wonder though, and it is something of a non-important issue in the grand scheme of issues that TG's have, is how a long term partner of a TG'd woman would deal if she finally went through with gender realignment surgery (or whatever it is called nowadays).
I would guess they would cope fine, but it would be hard to come to terms with such a drastic change in a partners physiology i would think.
Just a curiosity really, i would like to hear if anyone has experience with that ...
Anyways, TLDR : Yes.
Oi. People. Please, please, PLEASE stop using the term "tranny" to refer to transexuals; it's like calling a gay person a "******" or a black person a "******".
I don't think I could, even if I had wanted to before knowing what I was dealing with. Also, I think it's important to note that "transsexual" is a misnomer. Sex is coded in one's DNA and, in humans, cannot be changed, whatever superficial augmentations are added. There's no argument to be had on that point.
short answer: no
long answer: heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll no

Gender, however, is not completely coded in one's DNA. It's all about the braaaaains. So, if you have a male brain but female bits (or vice-versa, of course), I think that can be accurately called "transsexual"-- i.e. your bits are the opposite sex of your brain.A Curious Fellow said:
No, I don't think I could. That is just my personal hang up though, as I would find it a bit to jarring to be attracted to a trans person once I knew. Not that I'd have to worry about it, since people have standards, and I am probably below those standards. I have no qualms against people simply for being trans though.
What I don't like the idea that people should have to change sex in order to act a certain way, since bodies are pretty much just shells when it comes down to it, and I see little difference in what can be accomplished by a male versus what can be accomplished by a female other than certain bodily functions (although science will someday probably enable a complete and utter perfect sex change), so when someone says they wish they were female, because they want to be more feminine or vice-versa, I don't think of them as needing to change sex, I think of it as society's strict enforcement of gender roles as keeping them from being what they are already capable of being with their birth sex.
I don't really know much about it though as I have never experienced the desire/necessity to be another gender, so for all I know, maybe people really do just desire to have their parts changed, and have no intention of acting feminine, they just feel that they should have been born with different hormones and genitals. Shows how much I know. I'll be in the Dunce corner if you need me.

I would like to see evidence of that ever happening. More to the point, I would like to see evidence of a brain being distinctly male or female at all when separated entirely from the rest of the body.LittleThestral said:
Have a good time with that, then. Because when separated from the body, the brain is just a useless lump of greymatter.A Curious Fellow said:

Again, sorry.
Mind still in strange places. It's been one of those days, i'm in a giddy mood.
I thiiiiink there's a different reason they didn't want to be friends with you...Abomination said:
