I know its a two edge sword thing about the dating. Let them know up front and it might scare off very eligible guys.....let them get to know you first and then let them know.....same thing. So the effect is the same.

I'm by no means an expert but, it would seem to me letting it be known up front, you're transgender, not interested in hookups and there will be some lucky guy out there somewhere than will appreciate you for who you are and all the good you can bring to a relationship with the right man.
i mean if that scares them off they weren't really worth it for you either.

Good Luck! 
Somewhere you'll find your man.
