I'm sorry, but what you described, including the mannerisms you're attracted to, seem more like caricatures or stereotypes of certain cultural views of masculinity, like Paul Bunyan types. They do exist, but most men aren't going to live up to that since people are primarily individuals and are far more complex. If that's what you're into, that's fine but it honestly is more like a fetish, especially if it's something that you feel is absolutely required in a partner. You're very much narrowing your pool of potential mates. Unfortunate, imo.
I would say completely normal in my experience, and in everything that is conveyed in popular culture. Easy to dismiss that as 'pop culture' but then I'll just resort to my experience. People are attracted to other people based on physical appearance. Not only that. Perhaps not foremost that. But enough that it strikes me as a fetish in all instances, but is very rarely conveyed as such.
To answer the OP inquiry, as a male, I would very much date transitioned persons. As a male, I'm under impression my extended thoughts on this would not be received with same interest as someone identifying solely as woman in this thread. So, I'll just leave it at that.
But do wish to note that I've been assumed to be female more than once in my life. It mostly humors me. Not always. Sometimes, I'll act all offended. Mostly cause I don't even see in that moment why I'm giving off that impression, or even what 'that impression' entails. Now, all those situations where I acted offended, humor me. Anyway, I've asked many friends/family many times if I come across female to them, ever. Almost all the time, they say no. I say almost, cause I'm thinking there's been once or twice where it was longer than a 30 second discussion and someone brought up a 'maybe possibly' type thing where they thought I might be perceived as female.
Anyway, I find attraction to be a very interesting topic, and am used to being not most attractive male / person in a room, based on physical appearances. I think many women depend on a very masculine male type to make them what they see as happy in a physical relationship. Not all women for sure, and yet enough that it seems odd that the transgender issue would somehow be a time when we'd think we could redefine relationships.
All this to say, I don't see this as strictly transgender issue. It's about what people are attracted to and while there are clearly many exceptions to unwritten rules, those unwritten rules strike me as ingrained and unlikely to change regardless how much the transgender issue impacts society.
Being a spiritual type, I do think of all this on another level that need not be discussion in this thread, but is IMO calling most to all of the shots anyway. To the degree that is not true/accurate, I think is the confusion this issue still has.
