Why do some men like transsexuals?

The answer may be similar to the answers to these questions:Why do some men like other men?Why do some men like women?Why do some men like blondes?In short, it is a matter of different strokes for different folks.Of course if you're trying to rationalize why YOU may be attracted to transsexuals then you should rephrase your question.


How can you differentiate men women and a transsexuals?

You can't. Transmen are real men too, also transwomen are real women to. If you are afraid of mixing up pronouns because you don't know them, just ask in a polite manner.


What are some possible reasons for there being more male to female transsexuals than female to male transsexuals?

Actually, there are not that many more. It is just that male to female transsexualism is more politicized and that female to male transsexuals tend to blend in with men better. If you have any facial hair at all, people assume you are a man, and transsexual men can easily grow facial hair after hormone treatments. Also, in addition to transsexual women, there are many men who pretend to be women but who do not have transsexualism. Those men who wear dresses are assumed to be transsexuals when they are in the separate bracket called transgender instead. Transsexuals are actually not a part of the transgender community, despite whatever propaganda that exists saying they are. Transsexuals are not really the ones pushing to be known as transgendered. That is forced onto most against their wills. Anyway, transsexual men do not have as big a problem of pretenders taking over their community since women are not as sexually motivated to cross-dress. So the pretenders artificially inflate the MtF TS community.


Why do African American guys mess around with transsexuals more than any other race?

That does not seem to be true, since African American culture seems to have the most bigotry against transsexual women and even "MtF" transgendered males who live as women. A lot of what they mess with might not be actual transsexuals, but cross-dressers and transgenderists who never get the surgery. According to Black transsexuals, it is a weird situation. Gay men who dress up as women to have sex as well as comedians and professional female impersonators are accepted, but actual transsexuals are ridiculed and attacked in an anti-gay manner.


Can transsexuals have babies?

Yes. Transsexual men can have babies before transition. Transsexual women can father children before transition. After surgery, when their transsexualism is eliminated, they become sterile.

Why are transsexuals so attractive to men?

Perhaps the men have deep-seated bisexual urges? That seems to be the most likely answer.

Where can you buy history photographic art painting pictures of feminine post op oriental male transsexuals?

There is no such thing. If they are post-op male transsexuals (meaning they have a male identity), they would not be feminine. If you mean "male transsexuals" to refer to TS women, then that is degrading. Male transsexuals are masculine and female transsexuals are feminine. Unlike transgendered persons, they fully conform to one sex or the other and do not straddle gender lines. Besides this "historical" bit seems dubious. Lilli Elbe was the only one in modern time to have surgery before the late 1950's, and then there was Christine Jorgenson. Now if you mean paintings, then how would you know whether they were postop TS women, or other women? Or if you mean "male transsexuals" to mean FtM TS men, then how would you tell in a painting whether it is a TS man with surgical correction to be fully male, or whether it is some other man? The whole purpose of the surgery is to destroy your differences and fit in with both society and who you believe you are, not to stand out.
