Hi Chey!
I don't think I'm lesbian enough to post on that thread.
Being lesbian means being attracted to other women so I do think it's possible for a lesbian to look at a very feminine,passable transexual and appreciate her beauty and even form fantasies about that image, but when it comes down to it and discounting "true love" i don't think a lesbian would want to pursue a long term relationship with a m~2~f trannie. Why? Well trannies have penises and from what they tell me thats a no~no to be in that club.
*Should* a lesbian choose to pursue a relationship with a m~2~f transexual the relationship would technically be heterosexual with both players more in the bi~sexual area over homosexual.
Should lesbians like transexuals like in a friendship type setting? I don't see why not.

I can comment on the comment, but not speak to the issue except by theorizing:
I completely disagree that any female-Tgirl relationship would default to hetero or bisexual rather than lesbian.
Besides, I'm bisexual and I have relationships, I don't have "bisexual relationships." I don't have "heterosexual relationships" either.
A post-op m to f trans-woman is psychologically attempting to be a woman. Not a "transgendered individual" ...a woman.
I imagine that some lesbians might be able to be in this kind of relationship and view themselves and the relationship as lesbians. Some might not. How people would apply labels to themselves around their circumstance is pretty individualistic.

It depends how far the person has gone in that direction, or intends to go. It costs a pretty penny to have your physical sex changed, and you sure don't want to go to Joe Discount to have it done.
The good doctors have waiting lists, I'd imagine, and of course, some people just aren't good candidates health-wise for elective surgery.Of course, until a few decades ago, sex-reassignment wasn't even an option. Plenty of firmly transgendered people have lived out their lives in the skin they were born in--the exact shape of their dangly bits isn't all that germane.

I know a couple I once chatted with that are in this type of a relationship. They both consider themselves to be lesbians and "Dani" refers to herself at all times as female and I have to say was accepted by the majority of the lesbian females we chatted with. Dani has not yet had her penis removed, but plans on it. Both Dani and her lover look forward to that day but I doubt that if it never comes to pass that the relationship would be doomed. They have lived together for quite some time already and have emotional dependencies on each other already.
How do I feel about this type of relationship for me? That's hard. I have seen some pretty damn gorgeous looking "women" at drag shows...and some I swear you could never tell were male unless ya found the penis between their legs, but most of them you can mark as male...and in those cases I know I would not be attracted by sight. Now, if I were to develop a freindship with someone I have to admit that changes things. Any time we get to know an individual in a personal manner it changes our perspective on that individual and I would have to say that if the feelings and chemistry were there for the individual, not the sex...which I think we can all admit once we get to know someone their sex becomes less evident to us...I could well find myself becoming emotionally attached to said individual. Once my heart is given, everything else follows.

(these are my comments from the other thread)
I voted "yes."
Although I identify as lesbian, I am actually omnisexual or pansexual - that is, I consider myself capable of being attracted to anyone. It just happens that I am attracted almost exclusively to women-born women. But because I fully accept those transitioning (or post-transition) as their target gender, I would have no problem dating someone who self-identified as female.
(I note that this thread mentions "transgendered men" but nowhere does anybody clarify if that means MTF or FTM. I tend to use it to refer to FTMs. I would be unlikely to date a female-to-male transgendered person just because...well, I'm not interested in men, and they're men.)
