I have not transitioned yet, because a big fear of mine is that it will literally chop the dating pool into close to nothing. How many normal people out there are actually willing to look past a girl with a penis?
I would walk through a floor of razor blades to transition, but my gender isn't the whole of myself. There is a lot more to all of us as humans obviously, so i'm wondering if transitioning is worth all the punches to other aspects of life afterwards.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Normal people wouldn't do this, so zero.
I don't know what your definition of "normal" is but a lot of people who are willing to date trans women aren't exactly "normal". While I'm not saying you should settle for the first weirdo who expresses interest in you, it's okay if you end up with someone who isn't exactly what you originally planned on.
what the hell do you define as normal?

so people with enough admittedly bi tendencies and freedom from social hangups? Probably more than you would think if you're willing to look and put yourself out there.
just curious, but how do you feel about people who prefer certain races or body types as partners? are they also fetishists in your opinion?

I guess you could consider those as some kind of 'low tier fetishes' if that makes any sense, but most of us have them to some degree. I do not like some of the bigger, more unusual ones (ie attraction to trans) because it just seems like those kind of subtract from the non-sexual part of a relationship.
Liking a particular body type typically doesn't subtract from the partnership, but people with big fetishes like that usually are not interested in the actual 'love' part.
If there was a guy who could be specifically interested in me physically and also like me for me, that would be awesome. But it is just usually not the case. It seems to me like somebody would be 'settling' for my dick, instead of actually liking it.

well do you want someone to just "look past" your dick or do you actually want someone to like it? like a straight acting gay/bi dude who treats you like a girl?
sry for the questions it's just that I don't usually get the chance to ask them
Forreal like 10% of the population might be willing to actually date a transgender person. Depending on who you are interested in that could be lower though. If you're against dating a hyper liberal or another transperson you're really cutting that number down hard.

I want someone to like it, just because it would make for a stronger relationship if we can be what each other wants physically. I just do not want somebody to ONLY like that about me, which seems like the people who have trans-specific fetishes.
Why it is that the more atypical the fetish is, the more strong it is, I do not know. But coming from somebody who actually has been with somebody who had a trans-fetish, I know that that fetish was all there really was.
Maybe I am making a conclusion based on a coincidentally bad experience, but...
i get hit on by chasers a lot, but my last three boyfriends have been straight guys with no sexual experience with a penis.
if you are attractive, you can get any guy that isn't totally insecure about his sexuality. that's it basically.
