Can you honestly say you'd date a pre-op trans man (woman)?

Except they are, but I suspect it's just a difference of how we view the concept. You view it as female body = woman, where as the view here is man/woman as a gender, with sex as a separate entity. Most often sex and gender line up. In these cases, they're mismatched. It's not that a man wants to dress and act like a woman, it's that a woman is in a man's body (or if you'd like: a male has the brain chemistry and makeup of a woman instead of a man). Bodies can be fixed, brain are more concrete.
The second question is irrelevant, my dating life and what I find emotionally and sexually attractive doesn't legitimise and illegitimise other people.
