ORIGINAL: hausboy LNT--thank you for posting what I was thinking! exactly exactly. Thing is, my own personal preferences aren't that far off from here, as I am attracted only to transfolks who identify partly or wholly as male and who are comfortable with their maleness. A transman would be within my parameters, as would someone who voluntarily chose to identify as a she-male who was comfortable with the male parts of her anatomy and wanted to keep them. A transwoman would not be within my parameters for a personal partner, because I would not be able to be supportive of her need to fully transition. I could be very supportive to her as a friend, but I would not date her. I am not interested in dating women, and I respect her as a woman. I do not see her as male even if she still has some male anatomy, because she doesn't see herself as male in any way. So that means we're not compatible and she's not in my dating pool. I don't see any issues with having personal sexual preferences or being attracted to what you are attracted to. What I do see an issue with is not being respectful of the personal and sexual identities of transpeople, and with fetishizing them as sexual objects that are nothing more than tits and a dick for your personal enjoyment. They're people, for fuck's sake, not just sex organs, so quit drooling and act like a human being if you ever want a nonprofessional relationship. No, I totally get that.... and there are actually transwomen who choose not to have lower surgery for a variety of reasons, and they are still very much women to me. I've also met some who had every surgery under the sun, and they still exude so much male energy that I'm not attracted to them no matter how female their "parts" are/appearance is. We all have preferences and types that attract us (at least, initial attraction)....but it's that completely fetishizing one as a wank object that turns me off, as you so eloquently put it.
