I find transgender people... attractive?

Hey there. So, for those of you wondering, no, I don't have a "tranny" fetish, where someone values someone else only for their body parts, or abundance of, in that matter.

I just find that men transitioning to women or women transitioning to men emulate characteristics of a strong, dignified person willing to brace against all odds: physical, sexual, social, to replicate how they feel externally. I feel that "stance" really is an indicator of a powerful person. I would never select a partner on grounds of this alone, as I feel that is as narrow-minded as a "tranny fetishist"

I also feel that its a bit, or rather, extremely rebellious, as a man, embrace your feminine side or as a woman, to pursue masculinizing your body. In summary, I just find someone who is willing to change their own DNA to suit their needs as a strong person; and its a huge respect booster if I discover someone has transitioned or is transitioning. Is it normal?

    To be honest, I would not be put off by a woman revealing that she is/was trans. If I liked someone, and they turned out to be trans, I would still have a relationship with them.

    I like to think of myself open to possibilities, after all, I see sexuality and attraction as a sliding scale and not set in stone. Trans, gay, even a possible intelligence from another species, or even an artificial intelligence. Not saying I would be attracted to any of them, but if it did, well, I would try to act on my feelings.

    I guess what I'm saying is, try to dispense with labels, and love who you want, regardless of gender, race, species, or even origin, (as long as their intelligence/sentience is roughly equal to humankind

    You mean people born with functioning sexual organs, who take exogenous hormones to change their sex? They are altering their endocrine system, the DNA doesnt change. And since you loose your ability to reproduce, we dont have to talk about meiosis and haploid genes in general, not that they would change.

    Sorry, Im a bio-chem student, I had to correct you, but to answer your question I believe its normal

    I'm gay and attracted to transmen, although not exclusively it's not like a fetish-y "type". It just wouldn't be a deal breaker to me.

    I think it's because I do generally like feminine "pretty" men (especially in combination with still having some neatly groomed facial hair). Lots of transmen (naturally) fit that quite easily.

    I'm learning about "transgenderism" across a broad scope of species and there are transgender lions in Botswana. Female lions are growing manes and adopting male behavior patterns.

    As far as DNA is concerned: Hormone injections affect something called "telemeres", a part of the chromosome.

    In both examples; when an organism is born from a uterus with a defect, or simply an older mother, eugenics kicks in and doesn't allow the fetus to protect from other androgens, and thus heightens the exposure to opposite-sex hormones in the womb. Transgenderism is not a defect in itself; rather the mind's reaction to how it was formed when exposed to the opposite hormones in the womb. It goes beyond what's a social construct.

    Aside from that, I find it kind of rude for people to make a mockery of continuing what is otherwise a natural phenomenon, via means of hormone therapy, etc. "hideous hodgepodge of hormones"? This is 2016. I've known graceful transmen and transwomen that put non-transgender people to shame.

      And the absurd rates of suicide and depression will only increase when, instead of getting the help they so desperately needed, they were 'supported' by Mechbeth, their friends and family to go into hormone therapy.

      It's a horror story that ends on a bleak night, when they realize they should've accepted who they were to begin with, that they were fine, and perfect and beautiful, that they were more than just a gender, they were an individual person.

      But when they look in the mirror, that night, they see themselves for the first time, absolutely clear: a farce, an unnatural horror between masculinity and femininity.

      Who the hell are you to encourage this?

    Change their DNA? Not possible: changes amount to surgical alteration and ingestion of artificial hormones of another gender for life.

    You have, I believe normal feelings. Anyone that has the courage to go against the grain of what is expected of us and how we should behave, has enormous strangth of character. I admire transgender people.

    Not normal to find some hideous hodgepodge of hormones attractive.
