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

I would say I am hetero.
If they reflect the sex they are claiming to be? Sure. I am not planning on making kids. So no way of getting pregnant either.
Rather would adopt anyway.
Edit: This assumes I like their personality in the first place.
And it would maybe only in tge first couple weeks be novel and unusual/weird to me. Then it's just business as usual.
This makes sense - by "reflect the sex they are claiming to be" do you just mean they are suitably feminine and appear to be a woman?
This is a fairly reasonable take, or at least I completely understand why someone who is a straight man would not want to date someone who appears male, for example.
I guess one question I have is whether a female penis would be a problem for you as a straight man? Separately is having a vagina an important requirement for you to date a trans woman (you might be happy with a female penis, but still want penetration with a vagina, which is why I see these as two separate questions).
