To my personal experience, I don't like to date as a transgender woman, because it is very stressful. First, I don't know how to tell them that I'm trans when dating with men. When I date a man for the first time, everything goes well and we have a great communication, but I feel like I need to tell them who I am. I don't think it is a good idea to hide the truth about who I am wen dating a man, but in most occasion, it is awkward to talk about this topic. I'm afraid of facing their react when I tell them that I'm trans. After several times of dating, I found the best way to disclose that I'm trans is to message them online. It works for me, and I'm not sure if it works for other transgender women. I don't like to tell the that I'm trans face to face, in other words, I'm not brave enough to accept the consequence if they are not willing to date transgender women. Second, it is dangerous to date men who only interested in dating transgender women. I don't like to date men who cannot accept ts dating transgender women, and men who only date transgender women are also not my potential dating partners. I've met some guys who only look for transgender women online, I'm a transgender woman and I'll never date them. I not mean they are not serious in dating, but most of them are trans fetishes. As a trans woman, safety is my first concern, I will never put myself at risks. I can really understand some men cannot accept dating transgender women at first, but I cannot understand why some men only want to date transgender women. The only reason is that they just want to date trans women for fun, or date trans women as fetishes. I'm not sure if every trans women needs a serious dating partner, but I'm sure I'm always serious in dating. I don't want to date someone for one night and don't know each other next day. I want to meet a serious guy for a serious relationship. Unlike other trans women, I'll never hide the truth that I'm trans in ts date. I choose to disclose who I'm before dating because I want to e treated in the same way, with honesty and respect. If you cannot accept me as a trans woman, just tell me. It is nothing wrong, because you are not the only one who cannot accept transgender women. However, no matter you can accept us or not, I hope you can e friendly and always respect all everyone in trans community.
