As a Transgender woman growing up in UK, I always worried that I would never be able to find a man who loved me unconditionally for what I am. Society at large likes to pretend it is liberal, and becoming even more liberal, but the reality for T-girls it is quite different. We are tolerated but not universally accepted. Often stared or gazed at in wonder but also with some degree of fear (fear of the unusual, I think). However, to be fair, things are improving little by little. Indeed, the younger generation (the millennials) is far more open-minded and accepting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/mytransgendercupid.com\/blog\/transgender-women-finding-love-online\/#Being_Transgender_is_part_of_your_genetics\" >Being Transgender is part of your genetics<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/mytransgendercupid.com\/blog\/transgender-women-finding-love-online\/#T-girls_need_to_be_patient_about_dating\" >T-girls need to be patient about dating<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/mytransgendercupid.com\/blog\/transgender-women-finding-love-online\/#Trans_dating_sites_are_the_only_real_option\" >Trans dating sites are the only real option<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Being_Transgender_is_part_of_your_genetics\"><\/span><strong>Being Transgender is part of your genetics<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a clich\u00e9 I know, but nobody chooses to be Trans. Some critics who should know better think it\u2019s a&nbsp;<em>so-called<\/em>&nbsp;lifestyle choice or something which one can grow out of. But, believe me it isn\u2019t. Being Transgender is very much part of your DNA, just as having blonde or red hair or blue or grey eyes it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And being Transgender and looking to date and find love is very challenging. As I hinted above, there are so many people with big prejudices out there. Unsubstantiated prejudices as most people simply don\u2019t know any or many T-girls. They base their judgements on stereotypes they see in the media or read about in some of the low-class apologies for newspapers. So, to me, it\u2019s no wonder specialised dating sites such as&nbsp;<strong>MyTransgenderCupid<\/strong>&nbsp;do so well. In a way, they offer a sort of \u201csafe haven\u201d for Trans women looking to date and men who want to date them. We can get together online and look for our ideal partner without the fear of any misunderstandings or pre-judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take my own life as an example of what T-girls have to face. Growing up I concealed my feelings of being different as best I could. I didn\u2019t know why I liked to dress in girl\u2019s clothes and act in a feminine way. I just knew that is was part of being me and that I had to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was no word such as \u201cTransgender\u201d in use when I was young. It wasn\u2019t until I was pre-teens that I learned that there were other Trans women in this world. Yet, in the absence of the internet, there was no chance I could meet them. My feelings of what I now know as <a href=\"https:\/\/mytransgendercupid.com\/blog\/understanding-gender-dysphoria-guide\/\">gender dysphoria<\/a> intensified when I was about 13 or 14 and facing puberty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"T-girls_need_to_be_patient_about_dating\"><\/span><strong>T-girls need to be patient about dating<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately for me, my parents were both from medical backgrounds, plus both were relatively liberal in their outlook. They were also understanding and 100% accepting of me. So, when I confessed to them that I was really a female inside a male body, they listened. They supported me through all of the meeting with doctors, psychiatrists and gender specialists. When I was finally confirmed as Transgender, my parents helped me make a plan. The encouraged me through the bad times and worked on getting me through my education whilst gradually transitioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I never wanted to date until I had completed all of the necessary surgeries. As I am a female, I like men. Before I was a \u201ccomplete\u201d female, even through I was presenting as a woman, I never felt comfortable dating. I was sort of in-between genders, at least in a physical sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the best advice I ever received was from other Transgender women I subsequently met online. They said not to bother with so-called conventional dating. It was a waste of time getting ready, going to bars and restaurant or clubs and hanging around looking for a nice sincere man. They said all I\u2019d find were \u201cTranny chasers\u201d or men curious about what I have in my panties and bra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trans_dating_sites_are_the_only_real_option\"><\/span><strong>Trans dating sites are the only real option<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, as soon as I felt ready, I joined\u00a0<strong>MyTransgenderCupid<\/strong>, the foremost Transgender dating site. There are <a data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil-url-old=\"aHR0cHM6Ly9teXRyYW5zZ2VuZGVyY3VwaWQuY29tL3RyYW5zZ2VuZGVyLWRhdGluZy1ldXJvcGUvI1RSUExJTktQUk9DRVNTRUQ=\" href=\"https:\/\/mytransgendercupid.com\/trans-dating-europe\">Transgender women from Europe,<\/a> the <a data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil-url-old=\"aHR0cHM6Ly9teXRyYW5zZ2VuZGVyY3VwaWQuY29tL3RyYW5zLWRhdGluZy11bml0ZWQta2luZ2RvbS8=\" href=\"https:\/\/mytransgendercupid.com\/trans-dating-united-kingdom\">UK<\/a>, the <a data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil-url-old=\"aHR0cHM6Ly9teXRyYW5zZ2VuZGVyY3VwaWQuY29tL3RyYW5zZ2VuZGVyLWRhdGluZy11bml0ZWQtc3RhdGVzI1RSUExJTktQUk9DRVNTRUQ=\" href=\"https:\/\/mytransgendercupid.com\/trans-dating-united-states\">US<\/a> and <a data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil-url-old=\"aHR0cHM6Ly9teXRyYW5zZ2VuZGVyY3VwaWQuY29tL3RyYW5zZ2VuZGVyLWRhdGluZy1waGlsaXBwaW5lcyNUUlBMSU5LUFJPQ0VTU0VE\" href=\"https:\/\/mytransgendercupid.com\/trans-dating-philippines\">Asia<\/a> on the site. Plus, understanding men from all over the world, genuinely looking for a Trans woman to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I took my time and chatted to a fair few men on the site. I got to know several of them well, understood their personalities and characters. Some were simply not right for me. But that\u2019s, just like \u201cnormal\u201d girls who date several men before they find \u201cMr Right\u201d. Some have remained good friends even though I\u2019ve never dated them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But when I met Leslie, as melodramatic as it sounds, we just knew we were right for each other. He is from UK also and had dated T-girls before, although had not been in a relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He understands perfectly that Transgender women are emotionally women and need to be treated as such. Plus, in many other ways, he is so right for me! For all T-girls out there, I\u2019d pass on the advice I was given: If you are serious about dating make it easy on yourself, go for a site such as\u00a0<strong>MyTransgenderCupid\u00a0<\/strong>at the beginning and avoid any dating hassles!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>eslie raised a glass of red wine in his right hand and proposed a toast. \u201cHere\u2019s to\u00a0MyTransgenderCupid, the best TS dating site on the internet,\u201d he said. \u201cThe site which helped me find the T-girl of my dreams, Katie!
