I see that there are enough of us here (no need to DL!) to open a discussion. I'm leading with my str8-ish (actually I'm...quite bi- at the moment) loving MtoF perspective, but any cismale (presenting) who loves MtoF's or FtoM's should pipe in. Not deliberately excluding ciswomen who love FtoM's, but there doesn't seem to be much of them here (try http://www.transqueernation.com, great hosts out of Atlanta!). OBVIOUSLY MtoF's are welcome to contribute to this discussion. *I'M* here to learn.

The $1.50[USD] word for us is "paratrexual". It was coined by Atlanta Transgender Webmistress Renee Reyes, and I cannot recommend her entertaining and informative site enough. If you link there right now--June 18--wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and tell her Vallin sent ya': www.reneereyes.com)

Y'know what's so weird? I've only been into TG's (MtoF's) since 2004. I was GG-chasing strictly straight before that. But from the first transitioning TG that I met in 2004 until now, my feelings--ESPECIALLY Skorpionic jealousy--have been every bit as intense as the way I felt about girls in *JR* high! I'm polyamorous, especially about GG's, and I haven't felt this much heartache and jealousy in over 10 years. I really thought I was past this!

Um...that's kinda creepy. And what's "Skorpionic jealousy"?

What's creepy? It's somewhat encouraging that I'm not so cynical as I have become about ciswomen (marriage will do that).

I'm a Double Scorpio with 3 other planets in the sign. We are notoriously jealous. And notoriously seductive };).

I would say 80% guys are secret tgirl admiras i see this when out dressed very sexily

i agree with nicola i was in naps and there was 2 str8 couples enjoying the nite and one guys was really looking and just to tease me and my mate had a big snog he nearly exploded seein 2 tgirls kiss and when he walked past he said thanx that was so hot then his wife drageed him out lol i know it was naughty but as i said i couldnt resist i dont normaly do things like that xxx

In over 40 years of being involved with men as a CD/TV, tgirl, transexual or whatever you want to call us, it always struck me that virtually every man that has ever been attracted to me has been or was married. Never once have I found that a man who considers himself to be 'gay' interested in a guy in knickers. Obviously we have something that their wives can't offer them. I wonder what?
Many years ago I used to frequent a well known tranny cruising spot, and the men who used to stop off on their way home to their wife and kids after work for a little bit of fun with a tranny was amazing. I always asked them if they were married, and the answer was always yes. One once told me that he would never cheat on his wife with another woman, but being with a tranny didn't count as cheating.

There's a big truth there Susie majority of my boyfriends have been married or divorced and your right a large percentage of gyas prefer masculine men rather than a t-girl, apart from a few exceptions.....I guess we are somethign exotci and slightly forbidden which gives them an extra frisson of excitement. I have had quite a few who said that once they had been with a t-girl they were hooked!. The best guys are those who no matter what background and proclivity love us for what and who we are! and treat us accordingly with care love and affection!

OK, here's the Skorpion to mess up the game and your theory. I was 300 degrees-% STR8 as a lead laser beam. I was married and divorced, but still living with GG (with occasional benefits as we were polyamorous friends). I came online in 2005, and joined AdultFriendFinder which lived up to its name as I started meeting TG's. Then I hooked up with one in the flesh. I'd actually met my first in-person TG at a security site where I worked in 2004. And she was the first to make me insanely jealous and heartbroken. By this time GG's barely affected me anymore to that extent.

Now I've progressed (deliberate choice of words) to genderqueer, and I like gay sex. I'm rather particular in my aesthetics--guess I just will be--and I like twinks and fem-bois, or at least femmy-looking men for the most part. Depends a lot on (un-)dress and hairstyle. Athletes are obviously a turn-on. Part of my bi-genderqueer is that I want to be pursued and to be the bottom bitch for a change. My TG hookup was very versatile (and assertive), and I LIKED IT!
