When you ask this question, you need to pay attention to the word "lesbian", It refers to women not men. You should know that sexual identity and gender identity are different from each other. Some trans men may even don't clear about this until physical transition. Trans men are real men, they want to date and marry real women.

Not all transgender people want to have the surgery and make physical change. Gender confirmation surgery is not easy in many countries, it's an expensive and time-consuming process. Not every trans men can afford the surgery, and not every trans men is ready to change their body. It's not easy for trans men to find a perfect dating partner. especially trans men who didn't undergo surgery. They are more easy to be rejected in trans dating without any reasons.

4. Are you more feminine than cisgender men?

Some trans men may feel that they are more feminine than cisgender men, because they were live as female for many years, they really know about women's world. Most trans men are quite aware of their behaviour and actions. They've lived as women, and they've experienced everything about women. When they date with girls, they will change themselves to make their dates feel comfortable, and they know how to meet the needs of most girls. It doesn't mean all trans men do the same in dating, some trans men never live as women, they were live as guys when they were very young, so they do the same as cisgender men when dating girls.
