I knew a TIM married to a TIF once. These two talked incessantly about their sex life and said they were waiting for surgery to get advanced enough for them to switch genitals with each other. They both thought homosexuality was wrong and were opposed to gay rights. Another TIM I know is "bisexual" but has only ever dated women or TIFs. They are all different with different preferences like anyone else, just with a lot of confusing language to make it sound important.

There are a fair number of heterosexual couples out there in which each partner is trans. Like Grace Lavery and Daniel Lavery (Mallory Ortberg). But they don't believe that homosexuality is wrong. They are queer theorists who abhor heterosexuality coz it's too normative & conventional. They believe that being the bog standard het couple that they are isn't edgy & kewl enough to fit their unique personalities - and doesn't provide them with enough social currency & status, or earning power - so one of both of them has to declare a trans or other gender speshul identity. That way, they get admiration & plumb jobs. The Laverys in particular are gender grifters.

Boy are they going to be surprised when they find out their sex lives are completely ruined and they have a pair of horrible wounds instead.

A lot of them do. They also specifically target straight or gay people for dating because they want validation from their relationships and don't give a shit if their partner gets anything from it. Bisexuals don't give them the validation they want because they're attracted to both sexes.

There are some Tim couples larping as lesbians and TIF couples larping as gay men that i've seen. But most of them don't want to date other trans people because they need the validation.

Apparently dating another trans is not validating enough, even though that person shares their gender delusions.

Yes of course they do. Obviously this doesn’t apply to all, but if you have a preference over what your own genitals look like then surely that also counts? TIMs that have a preference for getting their balls chopped off and their dicks turned inverted are a bit hypocritical if they then moan about women having a preference about whether they want to just have sex with a dick or fanny.

Most of the comments I've seen on this topic say that trans identified individuals become "dysphoric" when the idea of interacting with same sex genitalia is broached. As usual with the trans it is the rules for thee but not for me narcissism poking out.

I only know one trans individual IRL and I honestly have no idea which sex this person prefers. If I were to guess I would think that they are a heterosexual before transition male but I don't get AGP vibes from this person. To me they seem heavily traumatized and just trying to deal.
