Looking for discrete partners, if sex is involved at first. Its not because I would feel uncomfortable with being in public with you, I've just always kept the early days of my previous relationships pretty private, even to my close friends and family. If we seem to click after a little bit, then yea I'll want you to be a part of my social life, talk to my friends, my folks and sisters, meet my niece and nephew, but that will depend on how much we like each other, to be honest..
Respect is of the utmost importance to me. By that I mean respect of others and their tastes/values, as well as respecting yourself, and your own tastes and values, and respecting yourself enough to think kindly on who you are, as person (I really couldn't care less about pleasing every person I cross on the street or talk to in a shop or whatever, so long as the people whom I like feel like I care). Many people seem to forget that sometimes..
This is not my first experience (sexually, as well as within a friendship) with trans people, but I was introduced not too long ago, so by no means an expert there at all... Still, some of the best conversations, understanding, and fun I've had, and I'm not just talking about the sex (though I can still say the same about it, but I can talk about that later). I have always been attracted to women, ever since I could remember, and most of the sexual experiences I've had were with women, either in short flings or relationships. I have tried it with a guy I found to be cute (more femme than most men are, i guess?), because I was curious if the sex would feel different. I really enjoyed a few of the activities, but the experience as a whole was... Well, I didn't like it. Not too much of a fan of beards or chest hair (or feeling the leg hairs go up your nose when using your mouth...). Still, I like exploring my sexuality, and I'm happy i tried something I was hesitant to do with someone I was comfortable with, who took their time to ease me into things, and made me discover there were a few things that I did really enjoy, even if I'm not attracted to the typical male look.
I consider myself to be heterosexual, not gay or bi, even if I did have a go at that too. I am open to a great many things, but the one thing I am mostly attracted to is femininity, which for me does not mean just born-women. I find people who are physically (I say physically, because to me, if you think of yourself as a woman or a man, then that's how I view you as well) undergoing a gender transition, who have undergone a gender transition (such as hormones, among others), or who have went all the way with GRS extremely attractive because of the massive amount of life and gender experience/knowledge they have, not to mention the amount of guts it takes to change your life in such a way to find happiness. That's hot, and I find that choice and lifestyle more feminine than most born-women are.
Am 22, tall, short hair, blue eyes, and I stay very fit and lean (not to brag or overdo it, but I can't remember a time when I didn't have abs...). Always clean (in hygiene, drugs and diseases, having been tested after past partners), and will stay that way, so safe sex is on the list as well. I enjoy intimacy, and go out of my way to look for it, but that doesn't mean I don't value safety as well.
I would love to meet more people undergoing gender transitions at whatever stage, or who have transitioned to the point where they wanted to and are happy with it. I care about what's in your head, the conversation, the empathy, and emotional wisdom that I find so many born-women lack. I don't care about what's in your pants (or your shirt, really, I've always had a thing for a cute butt), I'll be happy to chat regardless.
TTYS !
