I'm gay, but I would never date or sleep with a trans woman because I don't like the female look, I'm not attracted to women. I can find women beautiful & good looking in the objective sense, but no sexual arousal or anything by it. If I were attracted to the way women look, I wouldn't be gay ion the first place. So it kind of irks me some times when people say that straight men are "gay" if they're into transwomen. Cause that would be implying that gay men find women sexually attractive.... Which we do not. You could maybe argue that the person is 'bisexual'. But if you're fully "gay", you're not gonna be attracted to any one that looks like a woman.
And I'm not sure I could date or be with a transman either, because I just don't like vaginas at all. It's a turn off.
But I've seen transmen who look more masculine & butch than I do! And more power to em! I just couldn't do it.
I'm not transphobic though, I don't give a shit & fully support whatever anyone wants to do with their body. I just expect the same respect back when I say I only want to sleep with biological men, who look like men.
Shit, even then I can't stand men half the time anyway. lol I've been with so many men in my lifetime & so many of them turned out to be jerks & assholes, that now I have a weird "complex", where I "hate" (kind of a strong word, but I digress) men but find some of them attractive at the same time. lol but because of so many negative experiences, I can look at a guy & no matter how hot he is, my brain automatically assumes he's probably some cold-hearted jerk who can't keep it in his pants. So there's that..
