Pre op vs Post op?

[chaosorder]

I think the post op people don't go through a deep transition only to find a "man", it's more comeplicated. They do it because they don't like and accept their bodies...
My vote is for pre op, only because I am.

This is a touchy subject. From my experience pre-ops that don't fully transition or transition half-way are the easiest to get along with and form relationships with. Pre-ops that are transitioning and post-opts have catch-22s you have to deal with if you are going to have a relationship with them. The pitfall with pre-ops is that they are going to change on you which could make a relationship with that person shaky. The problem with post-ops is that they either have very good results or really bad results and once they have transitioned to their fullest, that's it. They get what they get which sometimes isn't enough for them, making them happy or sad. Sometimes that is enough to end a relationship. The passable post-ops ones may only be able to have -------- relationships with men or get caught up in relationships where it seems the men they have a relationship with do not notice them or act like they are attractive or valuable in any way; taking them for granted. And that is after going into debt over transition.

As far as the OPs question I really don't care about that pre-post whatever crap. People are people.
