No. You make so many assumptions about how men feel, based on your personal knowledge of an N of, what, 1? a few? You say things like "Trans women are dismissed as love and life partners by most men because they are afraid of how society will interpret their relationships." This is your own vision of what you think "most" cis men feel and think are attracted to. You think quite highly of your knowledge of men.

No, you cannot know why men react they way they do, as you don't know men. I know that, for myself, I am physically attracted to women - human adult females - precisely because of their looks, their aromas, their pheromones, their movements, their charms - and their female genitalia. Some men are attracted to women because they want to have children, but most cis men are attracted to women for a whole set of qualities than men do not possess.

So you may look like a beautiful woman, and even act and smell like a beautiful woman, enough to attract me. But don't assume that I know you are trans. When we get down to business, if I find male genitalia I am out of there.

The attraction of cis men to cis women has been the norm for hundreds of thousands of years and is the reason the human species has survived. My reactions are the same as "most" cis men throughout history. I have absolutely nothing against trans women or men, other than the trans women athlete issue. I can certainly be friends with transgenders. But I date adult female humans. Full stop.
