Public Opinion on Transgender Persons

[Great Kleomentia]

Fear of this keeps me up at night. *shudders*

Hopefully the transsexual is honest before any intimacy occurs. Otherwise, it is cruel deception.

Very much so, yes.

[The Count of Monte Cristo]

I got the food. *Wanders off muttering, chocolate sauce and honey. Which is better strawberry of vanilla?

Any way back on topic. I just wish the world would let people be as long as they aren't harming themselves or others.

I think there would be less transphobia if people were educated on it and knew that gender dysphoria won't harm them.

I´ll be the only one interested in the hookers, no doubt.

Only male hookers allowed.

Bloody hell, then I´m out of that place of perdition.

[The Sanguinian Islands]

I have a fetish for cute post-op trans women.

So I think it's fine.

Why?

[Liriena]

Hopefully the transsexual is honest before any intimacy occurs. Otherwise, it is cruel deception.

Or it's just a transsexual woman keeping her medical history to herself, as is her right. Not all transsexual women are comfortable disclosing the gender they were designated at birth, and for good reasons. Even to this day transgender women, particularly transgender women of colour, are particularly vulnerable to hate crimes, and "trans panic" defenses are still used.

[Great Kleomentia]

Why?

Because a heterosexual male isn't generally interested in transsexuals. The thought of the girl you just slept with being actually a guy is something that can really mess your head up.

Or maybe value her as a person and how she's a girl now instead of what she was born as?

As a heterosexual teenage girl, I would not care if my boyfriend or the guy I sleep with was pre-op FtM.

I reckon it's something you should disclose when you are about to engage in intercourse.

That's the thing, though - she isn't 'actually a guy'. And if she looks like a girl, why does it matter?

And in the underlined lies the problem. Wrong mindset.

As a heterosexual teenage girl, I would not care if my boyfriend or the guy I sleep with was pre-op FtM.

I can still value her as a person and no longer feel attracted to her. I can't make myself feel attracted to that type of person. That won't stop me from continuing a friendship, however.

If she's pre-op, then sure, if only to give her partner some time to adjust. If she's post-op, she doesn't need to tell anyone unless she's getting married or something.

Either way, in general the trust has to be there, hopefully, before people get to that point.

I guess it's more of a psychological thing than anything else. I just don't feel attracted to that, and there's nothing i can do to change that.

People might be uncomfortable with it.

And some people might be uncomfortable sleeping with a Satanist. That doesn't mean someone is obligated to reveal their religious affiliation to a prospective partner.

Understandable, but I'd say one should try to be understanding about transsexual people not disclosing their past medical history, and not accuse them of being deceitful for it.

But…if you slept with her, then presumably you're attracted to her.

[Freiheit Reich]

Why does it matter that much? A girl is a girl. I think it would be more obvious if someone was FtM (based on genitalia), but MtF's look pretty much the same.

Although I could be wrong(?)

There is a word to call transsexual people but it is not woman or a man. I can only think of a word that is banned on NSG but it is valid and not really offensive (although some people think the word is offensive for reasons I can't explain). A transsexual is neither a man or a woman but more of a hybrid of the two.

Sorry but that person in the photo is not a woman. Nobody can change into a pure woman or vice-versa.

As i said, it's a psychological thing. When you find out that the beautiful girl you slept with used to be a guy it really screws up your viewpoint.

That's just transphobia. If people can get over homophobia, they can get over transphobia.

What if she looks like a dog ? or a car ? what if she IS a car ? Does it really matter what you fall in love with ?
Right?
Wrong. Does it really matter if all things begin to lose meaning and identity now ? YES, it bloody does. Men are men and girls are girls. Period.

no pun intended

I don't see how that matters, though. She looks like a girl.

This is also somewhat true.

Than the transsexual shouldn't have any intimate relationships except with homosexuals.
