Would you date a CD/TS?

Try answer this.
Do you see a Transitioned FtM Trans man (TS) as a man because that's who he is inside and how he presents, or as a woman because that's what he was born as?
Think hard on that question. Because flip that to MtF Trans woman (TS) and many of you still see that person as a man.

I have severe trust issues with men, so, probably not; there would always be this underlying feeling that the other person is somehow just biding their time until they can find some way to take advantage of me somehow. I know it's because of my bad past experiences in my relationships with males, but I haven't been able to just put that all behind me.

So TS are men to you?

If a TS has not had SRS and has sex with a male, that's gay sex. Your brain can tell you that you are a woman, you can call yourself a woman, and others can recognize you as a woman, but a male cannot become a female by declaration.

It's crazy that within the so called 'Trans community' I see greater Transphobia, Misogyny and sexism then I ever experience from Cis people.

It's incredibly hurtful. It reminds of the saying 'Wolf in Sheep's clothing', so many of you may dress up as the Sheep but you are still every bit the Wolf. Proclaiming to understand the feelings of a Sheep whilst eating Lamb stew and having no idea why that's hypocritical!

Anneliese you are woefully misinformed. What exactly do you think TS means?? It's NOT the next step for a CDer.

MtF CD = Man mentally who enjoys wearing women's clothes and expressing feminine traits. Some have identity or Dysphoria issues and I would then say they are in the 'Between' bracket which is yet to be truly recognised.

MtF TS = Woman mentally who was born male physically, typically they Transition (live full-time) at some point because they can no longer cope trying to live as a man.

Gender fluid = Someone who's internal gender identity shifts. Not who they are sexually attracted to that's called Bisexual.

A CD and TS are almost nothing alike unless you're ignorant enough to only see what someone looks like rather then get to know them as a person.
What you write is horribly objectifying.
