do transgender people freak you out?

Yes or No, please discuss giving reasons where appropriate

On top of this, I'm also curious as to whether you would actually be friends with someone who is transgender or has had a sex change

I voted YES because it's just freaky, knowing that he was once a she and she was once a he.

I wouldn't be friends with transgender people deliberately because they never pass and I stare at them in the streets but keep my distance (I do not abuse them). If someone I know decided to have a sex change op, I wouldn't run a mile, but I would be very uncomfortable to be with them on a night out, which is inevitably sexually charged.

I'm not even gonna lie, it does freak me out. That doesn't make me a bigot or some sort of scum. I have no problem with gay/bis/lesbians because I see that as 'natural' but going out of your way to completely change your gender? It's just weird. Does that make me a bad person? No.

There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that a microscopic structure within the hypothalamus might play some role in gender determination - it is smaller in females and MTF transsexuals compared with males and FTM transsexuals. As with many things society loves to ostracise, science will probably come forward eventually with a full explanation. In the mean time, I think you can only come from a position of ignorance to claim that transsexuals are in some way 'going against their nature'. Unless you are a specialist in this area (and even if you are, tbh) you don't know what their nature is.

Btw, transgender and transsexual aren't the same thing...dunno if anyone's pointed that out already. Neither 'freak me out' though

No in fact I find some ladyboys in the porn films more attractive than many women especially english women. I mean if I had a choice of a slim,pretty 'girl' with nice boobs who is up for plenty of anal,who just happens to have something extra between her legs or some bingo winged pale fat ased thing with a bad attitude I know what I'd choose.

The ones who look blatantly like blokes,but who want to wear womens clothing, have a womans name ,maybe even get their cock cut off but who still look blokish, I really couldn't care about it. None of my business, in fact some apparently suffer from some kind of gender disorder so I've heard ,so if anything I might be sympathetic.

However, I can understand why some real women are nervous about them using ladies toilets ,changing rooms etc or even being in a womans prison. Because as I said earlier some ,fit the part better than others. Then you have the incidents where the more passable ones have tricked men ,and a mans grabbed a fist full of cock and balls and gone ape ****. I can understand men, being freaked out in that situation.Some people on this forum and elsewhere,want to make everysingle member of a minority group a victim, which I think is blatantly stupid.In fact if I was a ladyboy I'd be a bit annoyed if I was treated with kid gloves etc etc,and this is what starts the whole victim mentality and is the way the left keeps people down and in their court. They have been doing it to Blacks for years.

No, because there's enough ignorant and bigoted people in the world.

Who are the people in your sig that are gobbling down on bananas? I don't know why but I find the picture hilarious.

Oh and so to avoid being earmarked for spam I agree with your statement.

Edit: Actually I do know why I find the picture hilarious and that's because i'm immature but that's beside the point.

Read the riot act

They are pretty wierd..If somebody wanted thought they were a dragon and got wings surgically grafted to them we would section them under the mental health act. But wanting your wedding tackle lobbed off and turned into a psuedo-vag is socially acceptable..

They wouldn't be sectioned at all, you clearly have no knowledge of the mental health act what so ever. Plenty of people have all sorts of weird and wonderful piercings and surgical grafts. At a piercing convention I met a guy who had implants put under the skin on his scalp so it looked like he had horns growing.

Bit like the guy in this photo, but larger:

I've seen people who've had some of their teeth removed and replaced with fangs, like in this photo:

Takes all sorts to make the world an interesting place.

No, I've no problem with it.

In fact, I know someone who's a female-male transgender and he's still as awesome as he was when he was a she :biggrin:

Not in the slightest.

A friend of mine had a tutor who was a female to male transsexual, he was extremely attractive (as well as a gentleman to boot!).

I wouldn't rule out being in a relationship with a transgender either tbh.

No, just can't really think of a reason they'd freak me out.

no, however some of them just look men in drag even after the change and still have a male voice and think why did they bother going through the change when they still look the same

I would like to say no, but I once served what I thought was a woman in a shop, and when she spoke in a mans voice it did actually make me jump a little bit. In principle it doesn't bother me at all, but sometimes it takes a moment to adjust.

No because I'm not a bigot.

Your sig made me laugh so hard it hurt my stomach and set my asthma off.

Er, so they don't have to wake up every morning and look in the mirror and see someone who is nothing like the person they feel like they should be? So people can hopefully look beyond their occasionally too obvious male features and treat them as they feel they should be treated? Sometimes it's not about passing as a 'genetic woman', but instead seeking recognition as their 'true' gender. (Same for FtM obviously).

Sorry for the rant, just, touchy subject :rolleyes:
