trans and gay- relationships??

I've known of a few...

WIth very mixed results, but then this is normal for trans dating in general.. its tricky/hard/always different,

But I know one lovely gay couple, one of whome is a trans guy, and they are very happy/settled so it certianly is possible..

I don't get it ? if you're a guy and you're trans wouldn't that make you straight? But anyway, yeah it'll be hard, but when you do find someone (you will, you seem lovely) they'll be perfect, as they will accept it. I don't think people are given enough credit sometimes, but I think you'll be fine.

Thanks! that gives me some hope that it's possible, although it'll be hard....

Has anybody got any experience of this? from either point of view? i'm a gay trans guy and i'm very aware that it's going to be hard for me to find boyfriends. i guess i'm just looking for some experiences to help me in some way because i'm pretty early on in my transition but i'm also interested in a relationship, as i'm becoming more comfortable with myself as i'm now appearing as male. anything would be appreciated!!

Trans guy = born as and assigned "female" but actually male - so lives/transitions as such

I'm a little worried about my brother (sister?), because he is coming out a transwoman and says he is attracted to men. I don't know whether he is attracted to women as well.

When I think about how most straight men would react to a woman who used to be physically a man, it worries me a lot. Of course, bisexual guys may be more understanding purely because they know what is like not to be the "norm" (i.e. heterosexual). I just want him to be with someone who makes him happy.

I've had a look to find some trans support groups, but haven't really been able to find anything. Has anyone found any use from these?

I know I keep using words like "him" and "he", but I've known him as my brother for 18 years. It's weird to suddenly think of him as my sister.
