I wasn't surprised, exactly. But a fair number of post-op male-to-female transsexuals
do in fact want relationships with men after the change.
I was just a little bemused that all three of the ones I know didn't.
It's difficult either way. I first met all three when they were still biologically male. Abby was no longer with her girlfriend the last I knew. Margaret had been an old male friend, married to a woman who was also an old friend, and had fathered a couple of kids before finally realizing she wanted to be female, and is involved in a stable long-term relationship with another woman. Callie, the most recent transition, went through dating hell. She was quite upfront about the fact that she was a post-op M->F transsexual looking for a relationship with another woman, and was in contact with an assortment of prospects who said "Oh, yeah, I'm okay with that", but when it got close and personal, discovered they weren't okay with it and broke off. She seems to be in a stable long term relationship now, and I'm delighted.
