I welcome the prospect

As someone who falls under the "transgender" umbrella, I am more comfortable being with another "queer" person.

Simply because I know there's a better chance that they've thought about the same things I have in regards to gender and sex and have a better footing to understand what I am comfortable with during sex and in general and be able to see me as I want to be seen and not in a way that would make me uncomfortable.

Baggage !

I wouldn't rule out someone else, but I feel like someone with experience in the queer community would be easier to relate to and explain things to. Starting from zero can be frustrating and upsetting, even with just a friend or random curious person.

I would be very interested in being with a ftm trans person- I love men, and a guy who you don't have to worry about pregnancy with only seems like a bonus. Plus depending on exactly what changes they went through, there could be more possibilities in the bedroom.

As for a mtf trans, I don't know. In general, I like my girls to be more punky and less feminine, and I know that not all mtf trans people are very feminine, but of the ones I have known they tended to wear lots of skirts and dresses rather than jeans and t shirts, as well as having long hair while I prefer short hair on males or females, so it would depend on the individual.

Though I do say a mtf who has traits I like is more appealing to me than a cis-female just because menstruation wouldn't occur, and even on myself I have been taking birth control which prevents that, so it would be nice to not worry about that with a partner because it is a big turnoff for me.

People are people, regardless of gender or sexual identity.

Yep.
I think I would be ok and happy with anybody; I fall for the person, not the gender / sexual preference.

I'm going to fall in love with who I fall in love with. I don't think gender has much to do with it.

I suppose it would depend on how long I'd known a person before I knew they were transgendered, but it's not something I'd openly seek.

I'm open to the idea but I prefer being with cisgendered men.

I'm transgender myself. Why would I care if my partner is as well?

There's nothing wrong with being with any one of any kind of gender.

I'm a transguy and wouldn't mind being with either, though I prefer male-identified people.

I'm open in general, so I'm open to either 8D

I'm attracted to male-identifying people for the most part, the thought of being with a trans* person doesn't bug me at all.

Exactly! Wish I could "like" this. Thanks!

It wouldn't bother me and I'd be open to it. If I'm into the person, it doens't matter if they have their original parts or not.

I want people to be open to dating me (whether I was trans* or not!) so I am open to dating everyone!

I'm holding a "cross that bridge if/when I get there" approach, so I guess I'm shy about it.

Wow...lots of posts, although i'm afraid making it public might be skewing the results.

I'm a gay trans guy, and I'm open to being with cis or trans guys so long as I like them as a person first, we can worry about the below the belt stuff once we get more involved.

I am very much attracted to people because of their "insides" like their personality and such. I do like sexual things, so I'm not asexual, but physical attraction is just a byproduct of mental attraction for me. So whatever someone wants to do gender-wise to their body is good for me.

Someone's gender isn't important to me at all! I'm falling in love with someone for their personality, not for their gender identity or sex.

Same - I'm a genderqueer person in a relationship with a bigender person. I don't automatically rule anyone out as a potential partner because of gender.
