If you found someone attractive, would you date them if you found out they were trans? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

ha, fair enough - though it's precisely because I'm trans that I would be hesitant to date a trans person, but honestly it would depend on the person and where they are in transition, among other things. I guess in my mind if I loved them, that would transcend that they are trans (just like if they were in an accident and became paraplegic, my love and loyalty to my partner would mean I would still love them and stay with them even with that disability).

    Fair enough. I might be a little hesitant to date someone really early in their transition, just because I would need to seriously consider whether I was able to take on the somewhat implied responsibility that comes with that to guide them through such a scary and vulnerable period.

    Beyond that I'm functionally t4t, it's just really nice to date someone who gets you, and all the baggage that entails, and with whom you already have such a strong shared connection.
