People are attracted to the whole person, including their secondary and primary sexual characteristics.

Been saying this for a while. Attraction is holistic, and it's not just physical. It also includes perceptions of the other person's current and potential future mental health.

Holistic is a good word for it. Somebody's past also figures into attraction for me, too. I'm not attracted to people who haven't had the experience of growing up female. (And MtF's bullshit line of "but we experienced things as female even though we were perceived as male!" doesn't cut it, either.)

Hole-istic

No no no, after that read, I cannot with this pun, intended or not

Holy cod, that's one thing MtF or even men don't get.

I've met women from all backgrounds, countries, cultures, and we all share the same bitter experience of being sexualized PRE PUBERTY and beginning puberty.

I've never met a woman who enjoyed grown men catcalling her when she was 11 years old.
