If you found someone attractive, would you date them if you found out they were trans?

I've never been in that situation but I wouldn't rule it out on principle.
that seems reasonable
I'm sure most of us would have internal barriers in place that would make it challenging to date someone who is different that way - no different in some ways than struggling to date someone in a wheelchair or who lives with a major disability.
But I think it makes sense to not pre-emptively judge a situation, to be open to possibility.
Are there boundaries or limitations you think would make it challenging for you to date a trans person?
