Just curious as to how the numbers play out. Would you date someone who identified as the gender you are attracted to, but had been assigned another sex at birth, if they were someone you found attractive and compatible?

I sure would, I don't see how it can be an issue to me in any way.

The answer here is 'no'. While I firmly believe that all humans are equal, and that trans persons deserve the same respect as everyone else, biologically altering one's gender is impossible. You can make a man look like a woman or a woman look like a man, but at the end of the day, the difference between a transwoman and a biological woman is fairly big.

I don't know. I thought many times about this issue when I had a small time period where I constantly watched transgender documentaries. And in one of those documentaries there was a guy and I immediately thought "s**t, I would love to date that guy". But honestly - I find sex very important - and I wouldn't know if I'd be able to date someone without a penis. And if they've already changed gender, I don't know, I don't know how those penises work.

And yes that may be shallow, but I find sex very important.

I've been attracted to a transman before, but not yet to a transwoman (and I've met way more transwomen than transmen.) So definitely yes for a transman and yes if there was a transwoman I was attracted to.

Considering I've recently come to realize that I am a trans man, I would be okay with dating a transgender.

No, no, no, and NO! I've already had that experience with my ex-boyfriend, and I am not about to go through that again. I didn't appreciate him stealing my clothes and trying them on, and there is no way in hell I'm going to let the same thing happen again.

As long as they were post-op. I don't like other people's vaginas.

No (my head couldn't get over the fact that the individual was once a grown male).

But, that's not saying much, as I don't "date" (tried it; wasn't for me).

I would never knowingly date a trans-gendered person.

Yes, them being born with the wrong body doesn't bother me at all.

They would have to be someone I could stand. Not everyone is a nice person. I know cis-gender people who are douchebags, and transpeople who are douchebags. It all depends. As a mtf transexual, I hope someone will take an interest in me. I would never go out of my way to date someone just because. I don't do the wing-person to take a hit at a party so someone could score.

But to be really honest, I don't see myself dating anyone. The combo of my AS and being trans, just kind of kills it. I don't have a wide enough net in life to catch anyone. Those who I do anything with, are too young, or too old, and the very few who are my age, are already taken, or I have no attraction to. it's frustrating.

If I actually dated and had sex I would. I might have problems with a f2m if they got bottom half surgery and wanted to use it on me. I don't do penetration. I'd feel the same way about a cis gendered male.

This also, apart from the the trans* part as I am cis-gendered.

I probably sound silly but what is cis-gendered. I am kind of new to all of this so I don't know all the terms and stuff. Growing up the way I have and with my religion I don't exactly have exposure to the LGBT community.
