Like i said in my opening intro post, I am intersexed. In general I have found that persons who are poly tend to be more accepting of that then people who are not. This is not a universal however, as I have also met several poly people who do not want a lover who does not (in my case can not) fit into a binary gender mold.
I am looking for numbers, and this is one of the largest poly gatherings I know of. So I was just wondering how you all felt about that. Are you, would you or have you been accepting of a person with an abnormal gender? Yes or no, why or why not? Also, have any of you been in a relationship with someone like that? How did it turn out?

I am excepting of trangender people. If I met someone and fell for them it wouldn't matter.

I would be open to pursuing a relationship with someone who does not fit into the binary definitions of sex and gender. While I've not to date been in a relationship with someone like that and one can hardly know if things will pan out as one plans (i.e. if we were compatible), I can say that when considering someone to be a potential partner sex and gender hardly are involved in the decision at all so I don't see why someone being intersexed would count negatively towards that decision biggrin

Gender doesn't play a role in who I fall in love with, so I don't mind either way smile

It wouldn't matter to me... trans, cis or intersex. Someone I like is someone I like.
That said, I have not had a transgender or intersex partner... this is more due to the fact that I have not known all that many.

I wouldn't be adverse to a relationship with a transgender person if I liked that person a lot, but since I am a transgender myself, I think it would be a conflicting and complicated mix. It hints at a dangerous and emotionally damaging ordeal to have two (or more) TGs in a relationship. That's just my opinion though. There are probably people out there who have made it work for them.

I've never understood why someone would actively cut out an entire group of people based on something like gender, although I realize everyone has their particular tastes. So I like who I like, my husband is very attracted to intersex and transsexuals, although we've never had a partner who was intersex or trans mostly because we haven't met any here.
Oh and that reminded me... one of my high school crushes was transgendered who faced a lot of opposition as we were both in JROTC.

It wouldn't be a problem for me at all. I think people should act like the person they are, not the person they or anyone else thinks they should be. I'm attracted to people who are honest with me and themselves. Liars are a major turn off.
I guess people would consider me abnormal (I don't but then my idea of normal is somewhat skewed, lawl) because I'm gender neutral, I don't believe myself to be any gender at all and I don't need a gender identity to validate myself. So it'd be pretty damn hypocritical of me to reject someone because they don't fit into the stereotypical gender mold. Hypocrites are another big turn off, lawl.

I myself, am not intersexed or transgender.
But I did used to have a seriously weird obsession with F2M transmen. O__o

Emotionally and outside of all social context? Yes, I have no problem with accepting a transgendered person as a partner. But in our real not-so-ideal world where I come from a very traditional family with close relatives, not likely.
I don't know about you guys, but family takes an extremely high priority in my life despite our disagreements. I hide many things from them, like my current open relationship. There are other limitations that I set for myself that I personally think are frivolous but are necessary due to my situation.
While I can introduce friends with benefits or even potential extra partners (IF I end up being in a polyamorous relationship) to my family as "just friends", they are going to be uncomfortable with transgendered people even as friends. These things have been discussed before as a "hypothetical situation". No amount of fact finding and rational debate can change their minds so I need not go further and give them cause for unnecessary irrational anguish.

I'd be totally okay with it, but I am considering transitioning myself, so I guess that makes me a bit biased? I'm also attracted to all genders (although I generally identify as bi) so I guess it wouldn't really matter so long as I liked the person.

I'm definitely open to it. I haven't been sexually attracted to anyone that I knew was transsexual, but I like the idea of being with an intersexed person.

Being transsexual myself, I can't say I wouldn't be open to the idea, because I really just don't know. Their transgender-ness, for lack of a better word, would probably not be the thing that drives me away though. It'd more likely just be conflicts between what I find attractive and the reality of the situation.
For example, I'm mainly attracted only to people (all genders really) close to my height, which is 5'3". The tallest I can find attractive would be 5'6" or so. Most biological men are taller than that, so I might not be attracted to a transwomen as a result of her height, but not because she's transgender, technically. (I don't find tall biological women attractive either.)
