mopeyfrond Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I feel really problematic for this but i find myself attracted to trans people? Like not fetishism towards them, I'm ace in that sense. But I realized all the people that I'm interested in, find cute ect are all trans and idk what to think. Is this problematic? Is this a thing? Link to post Share on other sites
FaerieFate Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Perhaps it's not the fact that they are trans, but the fact that trans people have a more androgynous look? (They have both feminine nad masculine qualities). Or maybe it's just odd luck? Sorry, can't answer your question, just a thought, though. Link to post Share on other sites
Xenobot Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Some people are specifically attracted to transgender people, yes. It can be fetishistic, but not always. I have heard of people who prefer longterm romantic relationships with transwomen, for example. I don't think people like that are sexually objectifying transgender people, considering they desire loving relationships with them. You cannot help what your preferences are, and as long as you genuinely care about them and respect them, then it's not "problematic" in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites
AVEN #1 fan Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I find Trans people more attractive as I feel more protected and safer around them, and I can relate to them as I'm also transgender. I also like their androgynous expressions. Nothing is wrong with it, as long as it's not a fetish aka use them for sex play. Link to post Share on other sites
Fox6 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I am fascinated by trans people. Perhaps you are the same? I can see how that feeling can be confused or overlap with attraction. Link to post Share on other sites

This is how I feel, plus someone trans is way more likely to be accepting of someone non-binary, plus transmasc people are too good looking for this earth.

Heart Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 It's not all that rare among queer people I know to prefer to date other queer people. And I think that has to do with the shared common ground of having a queer lived experience. In my opinion, that seems like a thing to be celebrated, not a problem. As long as no one is objectifying or being demeaning towards anyone, and everyone is keeping an open mind, I see no problem with it. You may be attracted sometimes to non-trans people in the future, and as long as you don't quash that just because they're not trans, then all is well too. Of course, there will be trans people who are uncomfortable dating someone who is attracted to trans people exclusively, and that's also very understandable. A lot of trans people don't want to be recognizable as trans; they just want to be recognized as their gender. So as long as you know and acknowledge that, I think you're fine. Know that any trans person you want to date may be in the middle of transitioning, and may not "look trans" forever. Being attracted to them in part because of a shared experience or something is great. Being attracted to them only for how they look mid-transition may not be the best long-term foundation for a relationship, given that that changes. But of course, there are also cross-dressers who are not genderqueer in any way, and they're pretty cool too, if that's your thing. Link to post Share on other sites

I mean assigned females who display masculine traits. (Trans men included) Micah from Neutrois Nonsense is transmasc and enby.

SamwiseLovesLife Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Yeah I relate to this, but always (so far) FTM. I don't however find Cis males attractive, maybe it's the fact that I know they understand how I feel being percieved as a woman? I don't question it too much, but good question Link to post Share on other sites
