Re: Lesbians dating FTM transgenders? - August 7th 2013, 12:10 PM

I think in the real world there is more to life than "Lesbian" or "Bisexual" or "Gay". I'm quite cheerfully happy to label myself as lesbian because it's easier and I'm extremely comfortable with this label, however, if I was to label myself more accurate I'd say, "Homo-romantic". The likelihood of someone knowing what such a label means isn't exactly very large and if I said to someone I identified as that and not lesbian, they'd ask me what the label meant. It's far easier to say "Lesbian" because people know I'm into women and not men but if I was to say, "Homo-romantic" people would ask me what it is and then I'd have to respond with, "It means that I'm homosexual but I have the capabilities to be with the opposite sex for a romantic but not sexual relationship".

The way I see it is that a transgendered person is just simply shifting their outer-body from one sex to another. Inside themselves they already are what sex they are it's just that their outside doesn't match. For example a Male transitioning to a Female. Inside they know they're male but on the outside they look female. It doesn't mean that they're a 3rd sex or gender. It just means they're switching from one gender/sex to another.

In my personal opinion, if a girl truly is a lesbian, wholly and completely, they would be attracted to the female who is transitioning to a male because they still class them as female. As Harry said, if a lesbian found a trans Female to Male, would the lesbian still find them attractive? Personally I think not because they're looking for the physical aspects of a female which are no longer present.

Have you heard the term Polysexuality? It's a term used to describe someone who has the attraction to multiple genders but don't wish to identify as bisexual. People who tend to identify as polysexual are capable of being attracted to all genders.
