I know Lynn is married. I'm sure many of them date and still others retained their pre-transition relationships.
Why is it harder for trans women to date? Because hetero men take a potential social "hit" by dating us and that's hard to deal with. Gay guys don't really have an out, they have to deal with homophobia or be alone. Hetero guys have an obvious and less complicated "out" - non-trans women. The fear of being seen as gay seems to be a recurring theme and social stigma can be a powerful motivator.
