Ignoring the fact that not being attracted to transfolks is entirely valid and not transphobic, since everyone's entitled to their own sexual orientation... there are some transfolks that pass. Blaire White and Samantha Lux pass pretty well, for example.

Before I even knew what trans was: people thought I was a girl... and apparently I pass enough for doctors to ask if I'm pregnant -.- (I was having trouble sleeping, and I guess that could be a symptom of pregnancy, which is why he asked, but I just have DSPD). I'm sure someone who's more educated could tell I'm trans just by looking at me. My voice is more feminine than most trans-women (even though I have GERD), but maybe you could tell from that too.

Even if they pass 100%: you have a right to not wan'o date them — you even have a right to only date people with a certain hair or eye color if you want'o, that's your choice, and no one's got a right to make that choice for you.

PS: I'm surprised Jessica Yaniv wasn't on there LOL

I agree. The idea that you must do anything, including like someone, is as absurd as saying you must like people who are unattractive for whatever subjective reasons - they're ugly, old, fat, thin, different race, annoying voice, awkward, bitchy, stupid, or pick their nose. There's no end to the ways people can be unattractive and forcing it is akin to reverse rape, depending on how they choose to force it.

You're extremely lucky then. And I mean extremely. Male development drastically changes every aspect of the body and brain and there is no process to reverse it, only to enable it. There are a few people who have very few androgen receptors and it does very little, but the majority of males aren't even recognizable as the same person before and after puberty. And actually this is true of trans men as well.
