my ex was trans, pre-medical transition at the time we dated, and he was always a guy to me, no different in that respect than if he'd been born with with a penis. there's variation person to person, but for me (trans guy, didn't know it back then), if someone wants to date me, they need to see me as a guy, and that includes my genitals
It probably is. My gf at the beginning of our relationship said she "wished she was bi" after we had sex once, referring to my ~parts~ and I was like ma'am you are trans, you hate the "best of both worlds" rhetoric. Break up with me or stop talking. She got over it, but ik I'd never say or even think that abt anyone & I'm bi/pan (functionally either/both, I j like the word bi more). I hate that people tie gender to genitalia so much
my ex (not the one mentioned earlier but also trans guy) told me that before he discovered poly he was sad he couldn't date someone with a dick and bobs but then trans girls exist and they're perfect for him. so like... most bi/pan people are fine but remember that no identity protects you from being a chaser
