Are TGals the marrying type?

[Bionca]

I guess that depends on the gal really. Some enter the sex industry simply to pay for the surgeries up to and including vaginoplasty (sex change). Some Trans*women have a burning need to remove all traces of their "male" past and can't wait to remove all physical representations of that past. Some gals don't care either way about the penis attached (like me) and some absolutely love the sensations they get from having it.

The issue of having the operation is as often practical as it is an issue of personal need. Things like going swimming, wearing shorts, tight clothes are just easier in public without the rish of a bulge or anything popping out. In the US, full legal recognition of gender can only happen after the operation.

As far as marriage, the states oversee this and most states require surgey for official recognition. Since most states do not allow same-sex marriages, surgerry would have to happen for legal marriage.

If you are talking about setteling down and having a stable relationship, I think the vast majority of trans*women are looking for a partner. Probably more are looking for a serious relationship than there are en who are serious about a relationship lasting longer than 48 hours or being more serious than a monthly "booty call".
