Would you date a trans person?

[Zweite Alaje]

You know I really prefer to be referred to as Grand Master of All Reality. Failure to do so just shows that you're a jackass.

The proper pronoun for this, by the way, is "sdlkfjsdjkl."

Sdlkfjsdjkl is crazy!!!

What ever you say, GMoAR.

I prefer you type the whole thing. Abbreviations are a huge trigger for me.

We're talking about the pronoun for trans people?

I would definitely like to know what I should use when I need to.

I try to use their name.

[Samuraikoku]

I try to use their name.

In the third person that gets rather awkward if you're forced to repeat, though.

Or real pronouns.

Names are for squares, person.

English should do away with gendered pronouns, buut I don't think that's going to happen.

Jane Cassinder thought that Jane Cassinder was the best Jane Cassinder.

As I'm posting this, the gender breakdown is 77% yes among women and 61% no among men, though admittedly the sample size for women is far smaller.

Are men inherently more likely to hold rigid views on gender and sexuality than women? That seems like a far-reaching conclusion from so little data, but then I remember the big gender gap in the last US election, implying that (at least in the US, currently) men tend to be more politically conservative while women tend to be more liberal. So I'm not sure.

Perhaps you see my point.

[Ora Amaris]

So, anyway, let's try to put this thread back on course. I think we've beaten the whole pronoun thing to death.

Why do you guys think women are generally more accepting of trans men than guys are of trans women?

Can we develop a gallop poll based on NS stats?

Don't forget for gender fluid peeps, ya gotta remember the right pronoun for the day of the week, time of the day, and what mood they're in!!!

I'm still working on trying to see why I would use "they" if the person in question was standing right there.

[Ibwa]

Also I plan on having children when I grow up (I keep promising everyone that I wont, but....) so that also pushes me to decline a date with "it's"

That's well and good. I wonder, however, would you take issue with a non-Trans girl who couldn't have children? Would you refuse to date her? Would she, then, become an "it?"

actually i would date her, im just against "it's" in general. Also has any one thought what Chuck Norris thinks?

Society. Women are expected to be "deviant".

[Harkonna]

I would, provided they were able to survive my carefully crafted barrage of pre-dating questions and sign a stringent pre-dating agreement.

And, as we all know, Bruce Lee was for sexual liberation.

No, it shouldn't. Indo-European langs have gender classes, it should stay that way unless phonetic mutation or some other natural linguistic process changes it.
