Why would any guy want to go with a transsexual?

So this got me thinking, why would any guy date a transsexual?

I’m thinking the same reason a guy dates a woman. Because he’s attracted to her and finds her interesting?

I can think of one transsexual woman I would go out with in a heartbeat if everything in the world were different from how it actually is and I thought for a moment she'd have me. Does that mean I'm attracted to transsexuals simply by virtue of their being transsexuals? No. Like most things in life the only way to evaluate is on a case by case basis.

Agreed! I really like your answer. All transexuals aren't the same, and all who have been attracted to one who happens to be, aren't the same. There's no one real reason.

I imagine your friend is dating the person he's dating because he finds her interesting and attractive. It sounds as if he's moved past the shallow end of the pool and into the deeper end. Not everything in life is about shtuppin' and makin' babies. (Some of it's just about shtuppin'.)

I always wonder about posters that revive/start threads just to talk about how disgusted they are with LGBT people. I totally get it not being everybody’s thing, but the need to start a thread, or search and revive a dead thread just to comment how grossed out and cis-hetero they are makes me wonder

Because, obviously, some guys would not have an issue that a person might be transsexual. There are over three billion men on the planet. No matter how incredulous you are at this concept, is it really that hard to understand that there still exist some men who do not care?

For those men, yes. But not for the minority who don't want children and don't anticipate wanting children. Even if that's, say, 10%, what's 10% of 3+ billion? It's over 300 million men who don't want children. So how do you get from 'most men want kids' to it being an issue for each and every man?

There are a lot of things that interest others but don't interest me. Have you never noticed that the world is chock full of people that like things other than you do in pretty much every facet of life? How hard is that to comprehend?
