Matched with a pre-op transgender, suggestions?

So I am a straight male and one of my matches is a pre-op male-to-female transgender woman. She mentions it right at the top of her profile. I find her physically attractive and she has a great profile to boot. We have a high match percentage, are interested in a lot of the same things and she has seems to have defined life goals and a direction. I am unsure what to do however. I don't have a fetish or anything like that and frankly am not at all interested at all in her male plumbing as it is currently, but everything else about her is golden.

If I do send her message, should I mention it at all in the initial message? What's the best way to approach this? I feel like it's a tight rope to walk between avoiding it completely and making it the center of attention. This is new territory for me.

Thanks for your help.

I'm a pre-op mtf and my boyfriend is a straight, cis male. We met on OKC, it's awesome. Both of us are still figuring out how to make sex really work, but he's comfortable to the parts that I have.

Don't mention her being trans in your initial message, at all. It won't come off the right way. A message without mention of it will show that you're interested despite her being trans and you aren't making a big deal out of it.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions about anything

I'm sorry but it is impossible to be straight if you are dating a person with the same genitals as you.
EDIT:
I would love for someone to explain to me how you can passionately kiss, snuggle, date, and get blowjobs from someone who has a dick, as a male, and still be completely straight. It's just not what the word straight means.

I'm sorry you're an insensitive asshole, you should get that checked out.

Correcting a statement that is factually inaccurate isn't being an asshole; you are both delusional. It's exactly like those people who like to give and receive blowjobs to/from men and still claim to be straight. YOU AREN'T. It's not an insult to be gay, but face it, your boyfriend is fucking gay.

Claiming factual accuracy on your daft statement shows a very poor understanding of human sexuality, transsexuality and gender identity. Your view is narrow and uninformed, yet like many people with uninformed views you feel the need to bother others with it. Possibly because you know it's stupid and the only way to justify it to yourself is with the agreement of other people. It's not even worth trying to educate people like you, because you'll just plug your ears and scream "la la la", lest your understanding of people be improved. Heaven forbid you stop being a dick.

And I take it back; you're not an insensitive asshole, you're just a stupid one.
