I'm sorry I came off like that.
As for the "looks and feels like a woman", I'll try to clarify. Ie. you're TS and I'm straight, in my mind one is normal just as much as the other but you'll agree there's a difference between the two, which means that our different experiences also created different points of view that you and I have about various things in relationships. So when I said that I might fall for a TS woman that "looks and feels like a woman", it's because I only had hetero relationships while I never even met a TS woman, thus from my point of view it's not wrong to feel a relationship with a TS woman would be different for me. To imply TS women are not women never crossed my mind, and I didn't hold back when I asked if TS women can be similarly tender/romantic in relationships as I thought that whoever might reply will take into account that my only experience are hetero relationships. Anyways I'm sorry for contributing to any misunderstanding, hopefully this clears the air a bit

I appreciate your clarification. I continue to stress, though, the importance of language. Your statement that I've bolded above will never be taken by anyone as being about differences IN YOU, as you imply, but about how you see differences between transwomen and genetic women or cis-women. So, I would stress again the importance of rethinking your vocabulary.
