Dating a ftm transgender

Six things not to say when dating a trans person

This can mean that for you, dating may have other challenges. But being trans will not preclude you from finding love and having a meaningful and beautiful relationship or a few! Eventually, our presence as trans people will be completely normalized, but until then, here are some trans-specific tips for how to date. As you start the journey of finding the perfect partnership, we want to make one thing clear; you are valuable, awesome, and worthy of love! We know that the right person is out there for you, and while they might be a little work to find, we know that your future ideal partner is going to love you for exactly the way you are. As a trans person, you bring a lot of excellent qualities to the table that you may not even realize. As a general rule, trans people have a higher understanding of self, more resilience, better communication, and a deeper sense of compassion. And a lot of us had to do that self-work in an unsupportive environment. While for some of us that journey may have had hardships, never overlook the fact that growing into yourself made you stronger, more self-knowledgeable, interesting, and understanding.

Brene Brown has a lot to say about this. My favourite has always been OkCupid. I like it because it allows for very specific filtering, gives a percentage match and allows for more nuanced identities and orientations than any other site. Having said that, I do not take advantage of these nuances in my own profile. The reason I do this is primarily that I personally, do not identify as trans.
