I don't know if the top one is a gg, but if she is it would be unfortunate. Prominent nose, no cheekbones, artificial eyelashes, broad jaw. She looks like Adam Sandler.

No matter what, it should still be equal rights for all.

And I wonder why so many more people are upset about m2f than about f2m?

That is such an idiotic reason to commit suicide or murder...


I agree but we both know that some people would do it. I would be angry enough to want to hurt the person (but might not for fear of being arrested) but a more violent person might respond in a tougher way. A person that is already depressed might be pushed over the edge by the shock of having slept with a transsexual.

That is a problem of her medical history affecting you. A trans person's medical history does not necessarily affect you.

Top one.

I would say so too, but the phenotype is also found in cis women with heavy polish ancestry, big eyes and puffed out lips are not exclusive to trans women using estrogen

I stick by the latter

If it's not obvious enough to figure out via the way she looks, I don't see the issue.

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


I think that if someone is dating a person for awhile and finds them attractive, then their genitals would be secondary to them as a person. It seems to be outright transphobia in our society that makes people somehow afraid or uneasy about pre op trans people. A trans person shouldn't have to talk about their trans status or their genitals right away when they start dating a person; how often do people talk about their genitals right away as they start dating?

Besides, male and female genitals are the same anyway, the parts are just arranged differently.

I would assault the person in my anger, no reservations present.

In my personal experience a lot of people didn't know ftms existed, so that may be why. Besides that it may be because they view being trans as cross dressing, and many more people get their panties in a bunch over men in feminine clothing but not women in masculine clothing.
