How to approach a female??

So.. I'm trans gender right, and see a few girls here and there who are lesbians, but I dont know if i should approach them, like i wanna get to know em and stuff and maybe go somewhere but what if thats not their thing? I dont wanna scare them off because I was once a guy and still somewhat am.. Would they be more freaked or accepting.. Or is it just different from person to person? Any help would be nice ;u;

Everyone is different, it's the same with race and religion all you can really do is take the chance and hope for the best, the reality of it is 1 of 2 things happening 1) They outcast you and judge you based on being a transgender or 2) They decide they would like to get to know you for you. But I think that society is more trans friendly compared to what it used to be, more people are willing to come out and tell others that they took the step (There was even a couple on Amazing Race Canada, and one of them was a trans gender (FtM) who out and told all of canada that he took the next step in becoming who he knew he should be, another thing to be noted, he was the first transgender in all of A.R. history --according to google.). http://i.cbc.ca/1.3137504.1435951347!/fileImage/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/16x9_620/hamilton-elliott-and-michaelia-drever.jpg The Little Story: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/amazing-race-s-first-transgender-contestant-hails-from-nova-scotia-1.3137738 But moral of what I am trying to say is this: Be comfortable with who you are, be confident and be yourself, there will be people who look down, be-little and will judge you based on how you took the next step and you will have to shrug it off as hard as it may be, be forward about your transition (Don't go straight out and say "I'm a trans-gender" ease it into a conversation) I know if I was going to get close to someone it's something I'd like to know out of curiousity, If your worried about what to say when the time comes, practice conversations with a female friend or someone on this site, I'm sure everyone here would be more than willing to help out a fellow otaku if they were to ask or if you happen to know a someone who happens to be gay (or someone who is in a relationship with the same sex) you could ask them for pointers or advice if you would.

That's a tough situation given things. Every girl is different. Some lesbians might not be open to dating someone who is transgender. The best thing you can do is be open an honest with them. I'd like to think a lot of people the LGBT community are at least understanding of each other in a lot of ways due to what they have to deal with. I wish I could give you some more solid advice than that, but given I'm a straight male, I probably don't have much direct insight or experience given your situation.

Try going to www.meetup.com (Not a dating site but pretty good) They have a lot of meet up groups and you can search for any group of people who are open to discussion.

Damnt gudmoore... My legs are sexy tho <3 But thank you everyone for your opinions

I'm straight and I'm dating a transgender mtf. I don't know how far you've gone or intend to go with transitioning, however as long as you're open and honest about things from the start I think there are all sort of women out there who would be open to a relationship with you, not just lesbians.

Approach them. Simple as that. Say "hi", give them a compliment, show confidence and see what happens. Being a m to f in the lesbian/bi community can be hard, I can imagine.. but you just have to be sure of yourself. Confidence trumps a lot of things.

From my experience, girls, even lesbians, respond well to a friendly and playful approach from men, so there's no problem there if you aren't breathing sexual desperation on their faces, and leering at them with your late night internet history still in your eyes. That said, that's not what you're asking here. ^__^ Well, one thing I can say is that one of my friends, (Also formerly a boy) carries on relationships with both genders, and even non-binaries, though I guess I should ask her next time if, when dating girls, she dates exclusively lesbians or simply bisexual/pansexual girls who could care less about what she was originally, or even straight women that are intrigued by the experience. (Not uncommon apparently. :/ ) Manga_Bird puts it well when she says that you have to be open and honest about who you are, your intentions, and your story. If someone is freaked out, they aren't worth your time, so you might as well find out right away. Generally the place where you would get the warmest acceptance would be the civil rights community.
