Interesting Twitter poll/thread asking straight men if they would date a TW

Over 26k votes since Wednesday, 85% say no they would not date a TW. Seems to be mostly fairly balanced replies as well!

I'm a straight woman and i kinda fancy Fionne too.
She's lovely inside and out, bless her.

And I know i'm not the first person on FWR to say that.

Looks like gay men aren't too keen on "gay" trans men otherwise known as heterosexual young women either

I suspect even the small percentage who voted ‘yes’ is made up if woke blokes thinking ‘Yes, in theory, if the right transwoman came along’ knowing they are never going to meet that ‘right transwoman’.

There is something blackly comic about that poor girl going to the only party in town where no men want to have sex with her. And yes, croneinamillion is right, this is the fault of Stonewall and others filling her head with ridiculous nonsense that denies reality.

The annoying/angering thing is that gay men make it obvious they are only interested in males (because they are homosexual, should be self evident but isn't) and don't get any where near the grief lesbians declaring publicly that they are only interested in females get.

I do wonder wtf the psychologists working at gender clinics say to people wanting to transition if they don't suggest to women wanting to be men who are sexually attracted to men that transitioning dramatically reduces their attractiveness to males and maybe being an androgynous woman like Annie Lennox is worth a try.

Hanging out on hookup sites has taught me just how many men have profile pictures featuring their penis in lacy knickers and framed by stockings (spoiler: a lot) and how many men presenting as straight say they are happy to meet women, transvestites and transgender people for sex (spoiler: a small but significant minority - more will say they will consider any category and present as bi).

However, i think few of the men who say they are happy to shag in these categories believe they are planning to shag women. And in some ways thats more interesting to me. How many transwomen would be happy to have sex with a man who wants to have sex with them but doesn't see them as a woman?

Saw this on fb recently. They are ramping up on straight men.

That'll go well then.

That image has been identified as sourced from 4chan on the related Twitter thread, 70sWitch.

Not really sure what 4chan is, but are you saying it's satirical?

It's so hard to tell now.

I don’t know much about 4chan, but it has a reputation for alt-right content.

However, i think few of the men who say they are happy to shag in these categories believe they are planning to shag women.

I think there's a substantial minority of men who are happy to shag basically anything. A sex doll,a sheep, a hole in the wall. Why would they care what gender ID a person had so long as they have an orifice (any orifice) that can be shafted?

Sorry for being so crude. But I think it's true.
I've seen quite a few "any port in a storm" type comments on threads in dubious places like reddit and Kiwi.

2Rebecca do trans people actually have any meaningful psychological input at gender clinics? Genuine question - I would have thought that smacks of aversion therapy to some. One of the problems seems to be that people are led to have unrealistic expectations of what life will be like post transition. I think you're a GP? I've read that post-bariatric surgery patients have a high (attempted) suicide risk, possibly for similar reasons: they think life will become perfect post op, clearly it doesn't. Expectations need managing realistically.

I know one young gay man who say they hate trans men going to their clubs & they ignore them. As others had said, lots of men prepared to have sex with TW just are not fussy about where they put it and TW probably have quite some novelty value for them, sadly.

If I were still young single woman looking for a partner I wouldn't even consider a TM.
Reason: I would be looking for a "forever" partner with a view to love, marriage and children.
I would be lookig for a father to my future children.
Yes, we could adopt and sometimes even with a real man it doesn't work out but the "children" thing was always important to me. I never dated for sex. Remember, I'm a prude!

Oh, and also I'm not attracted to women. I'm not lesbian.
Pheromones. You can't fake it.

Men gay or straight can say whatever they like about whoever they like. Because it's their world and the internet reflects that. Women have to be very careful because it's not our world. We are tolerated, never entirely accepted. As Germaine Greer put it, we are living in the house of the enemy.
