Okay, here's another question. If you were single, would you be open to dating a man who was already on HRT?
Julie Marie asked me in a PM if you all would like to share your thoughts on this. She wondered if there was a difference between knowing from the outset, and finding out later in the relationship that your SO wanted to do this.
Julie would like the thread moved to the main board where the CDs can see our answers. If you respond and DO NOT want your response moved onto the other board, please indicate that and we will delete it :)
Here are my own thoughts. I don't think I could really feel attraction for someone with a feminized body and breasts. If the person had no plans for surgery or anything beyond just the hormones, then intellectually I would be open to it....in theory.....but I probably wouldn't feel the necessary physical and emotional attraction. Of course there is no way to know this for sure; maybe I would be so captivated by the person's inner beauty that I could ignore my feelings about their body, or maybe there would still be enough maleness there to satisfy me...hard to say.
I would certainly prefer to know and make a decision about the relationship early on, rather than finding out after we had already built a life together.
