Would you date a trans person?

[Umbra Ac Silentium]

If the trans merely identified themselves as the opposite gender and didn't change and doesn't plan to change their biological gender (sex) then yes I would date them. If they do possess such a plan or already have changed their sex then no. The reason? Well let me put it this way. If I want to buy a vintage 1966 Dodge Charger then I want a real 1966 Dodge Charger. Not a 2007 Toyota Prius that has simply been modified to look like it was a 1966 Dodge Charger. I want only what is real and original. A person may get a sex change but that doesn't change the fact that they were once the opposite sex and even with today's medical technology a person's sex can only really be superficially changed. Not 100%. Even if that was possible I still wouldn't do it because it will still be fake and not real in my eyes.

So, trans people are cars now.

Trans AM cars?

You confuse sexual organs with gender.

Aside from that, I cannot oppose your preferences. It's your prerogative.

I will only date someone that was biologically female from the start.

A really, really shitty one that has no application here.

Fine with me. More transgenders for me to hit on.

My only question to you would be:

If they told you they were a post-op transsexual after you'd gone on a few dates (i.e. 4 to 5) and you liked them, would you drop them or keep them?

It will take more than a few dates for me to get to that stage. Besides it is something they should have told me up front. I would take her/him back to the dealership... so to speak. I should have been told up front that the car I bought was a counterfeit.

You forget that I tend towards libertarian capitalism. Therefore, I hate the poor. You, being poor relative to my declaration of intent to monopolize the transgender dating realm (now that my competition with Screensaver has ended in victory for me), do not matter. Victory is mine! Mwahahahaahaha *cough* hahahahahaha!

Fine. I'll keep all the drugs and rock and roll to myself.

The car metaphor is really grinding. Please avoid it if at all possible. Comparing a transsexual to a counterfeit car is demeaning. They are not counterfeits - they're the real thing.

You also can't expect them to be straight-up. I mean, it's not exactly an easy topic to bring up and oftentimes transsexuals get persecuted for their beliefs, so you can't blame them for wanting to get to know you a bit.

Meh you might be right about that not being a good choice of words but my you can see my point though.

That would be kind of weird, though, wouldn't it?

"So what do you like?"

"Video games. Did you play the latest Bioshock?"

"Oh, the one in the sky! It was awesome! The sky-hook system was really cool!"

"Yeah! I liked the use of tears in gameplay as well and I used to have a penis."

"I liked the tears- Wait, what?"

I mean, it's not something that fits into regular conversation, and you shouldn't expect them to be super up-front about it. It's their choice when to tell you, and as long as it's not withheld before something major like a proposal/marriage I fail to see the issue.

[Condunum]

I highly doubt it. If you were a transsexual, you would probably know the immense risk that there is in being so open.

So you are saying that transexuals are dishonest cowards? That is highly insulting. Believe it or not I have a transgender friend who is actually honest about it and even proud of it. He (or she rather) doesn't take shit from anybody.

I doubt your transgender friend makes being transgender a topic of conversation on a first date.

There's being proud of something, and there's being obsessed about it.

For example, I'm proud to be an atheist. This doesn't mean I walk around loudly proclaiming to everyone who speaks to me, "I AM AN ATHEIST! I AM AN ATHEIST!"

See the difference? Your friend is proud of being a transgender, I'm sure, but I doubt he or she brings it up on a first date when there are infinitely more interesting topics to discuss - such as what he/she and his/her date have in common, for example.

[Empire of Vlissingen]

No i would not.

But is it easy to notice a trans person?

Sure, read into it the wrong way all you want.

Transsexual face an extremely disproportionately high violence rate. Many recognize that a portion of the population - which has a disproportionate representation in the dating field - is against them, and often will show it through violence.
