Question for transgender and bi's out there?

I heard a comment on a podcast a week or so ago that floored me. It said that it is mostly bi-sexuals that are interested in transgender people for partners. It said that most people that are g*y are just interested in their own gender.

For example I am a g*y male. I am only interested in having other men as partners and have never been actracted to transgender people. This is the case for pretty much all the g*y friends I have. I have a few trans friends that I see now and again that I talk to when I see them and we chew the fat. But I don't know them well enough to go into their personal lives.

So is this true? Do transgender people mostly parnter up with bi's and other transgenders? Are their g*y men out there who go out with trans people? I'd love to hear more about this. Thank you in advance for all intelligent responses. I am genuinely curious.

  1. I'm not interested in a transgendered partner.


  2. Researchers are just starting to look into the experiences of the partners of transsexuals, and i wouldn't want to throw any stats at you this early in the game.What i can say with confidence is it depends on the circles you run in!

    There are a LOT of different g*y communities, from Abercrombie wannabes to burly bears to radical fairies! In some circles, dating and hook-ups with transsexual men are fairly common. In other circles its almost unheard of or outright taboo. Of those cliques that frown upon dating trans men, i find its usually because they really don't understand the basics facts about transsexuals. But usually once they meet their first real-life g*y trans man that's enough to get them at least rethinking their position on the matter :-)  Sadly, after that point peer pressure often takes over, and many potential relationships never get off the ground :-(

    Edit to add: while most bi folks i've talked are open to dating trans folks, this is by no means universal. Some folks don't want to deal with the prejudice their partners deal with and some are prejudiced themselves. Alas!

  3. i dont think so im bi and ive only gone out with guys and girls without s*x changes i would date a trans but you know havent met one  

  4. love is lovee! and when you love someone it doesnt matter who they are you love them and thats that!

  5. That's not my experience.  My guess is that podcast was done by someone who doesn't know a single person in the LGBT community.  

  6. I don't know where these people get their numbers from, but I've never heard this.

    You cannot compartmentalize people based on their sexuality. Sexuality is a very fluid thing, not based on a set rule. It's like saying that all blondes everywhere like other blondes. Sexuality is a very personal and varied thing. Different things appeal to different people.

    I don't know if this answers your question very well, but that's my take on it and it comes from meeting many different people and many experiences of my own.
