Ask a trans person!

I am not trans in any way. It is very confusing, in certain ways, to me.

I have a few questions which some may either flame me for or feel are really ignorant (true) and offensive (trying not to be). I am posting here because I have faith that the title of this thread is genuine, and because I genuinely do not understand these particular aspects of the FTM culture...and I cannot think of a better place to ask than this thread.

I assure you that: 1. I AM ignorant, which is why I would like to ask and become more educated, 2. I am NOT intentionally trying to be divisive, critical or offensive (the opposite actually), and, 3. I am asking because I genuinely am interested in your various answers.

Here are my questions:

If you are an FTM, and consider yourself a man, ID as a man and live as a man:

1. Why do you wish to hang around with dykes?

2. Why are you interested in relationships with gay women as opposed to straight women?

3. How are you any different than any straight guy off the street, and why do you come here, to this site, which is for butch and femme lesbian women?

4. How do you think a straight man, who wished to join us here, would be received, in contrast to how you are received here?


Thanks in advance!

Also, it has been mentioned to me that I have a certain posting style and writing style, which are apparently different from other posters. I suppose this may be true.

However, as was accidentally misunderstood in another thread, I am NOT a Moderator, nor am I trying to impersonate a Moderator, nor am I trying to cause trouble to get the attention OF a Moderator.

I am simply and genuinely interested in understanding the FTM community more than I currently do. If you'd rather PM me, that would be great, as well.
