So let's suppose you met a woman at a CD / TG type event. She tells you she's a trans woman, you tell her you're a CD. She's cool with it, and seems to like you.
Would you be inclined to date her?
She might want to set some limits on your CDing, or maybe not. (She might enjoy a man once in a while.) But regardless, she'd be very understanding of your need to express your femininity.
If so would you consider dating a trans woman who was:
a) non-op - she'll never have surgery, but may be on hormones.
b) pre-op - she'll eventually have surgery, but hasn't yet
c) post-op - she's already had SRS.
d) doesn't matter - she's a girl, plastic surgery be damned, if we connect, she's mine!
The above don't really cover all the possibilities - but that's enough since this is all hypothetical anyway.
What would you expect from such a relationship - could you treat her as if it were a relationship with a genetic girl?
Would you consider a really long term relationship, if you really connected together? Or just a one night stand, if that were even on the table?
