I response to Zack's original question, I only began thinking about this when Thomas Beatie started talking about his pregnancy. Before then I was barely aware that F2M transexuals existed. (In fact I'd even met one without knowing he'd been born female.)
As a gay man, I've never felt attracted to a person I could identify as female. Yet, the penis is not the primary thing that draws me to men. It's something hard to pinpoint, because I don't like hyper-masculinity either. I'm drawn to guys who seem like "typical guys," whatever that is.
So if I met an f2m transexual who really seemed male, I think I might be excited at the fact that he could potentially bear my children. Unless somebody really blows me away, though, I think I'll keep it simple and continue to look among anatomical men.
