What would you do if your instructor was a trannsexualWhat would you do if your instructor was a trannasexual (shemale, Transgender, "t-girl, transvestite w/e
you classify them) I'm not trying to be rude but me and a couple mates were having this discusion.
I said if it was a man opting to be a women i would do a runner, but if it was a women opting to be a man then i may stay.
This may be due to it being a social norm for women to wear mens clothing etc so I probably be immune to that problem.
My mate on the other had a muslim said he would probably insult and punch them and ask for a refund. Crazy
i know.
But seriously guys what would you do, no political correct bs here please just 100% true.

Re: What would you do if your instructor was a trannsexualAs much as I'd like to be accepting of them, I'm not. It would make me extremely uncomfortable- even uni lads in drag make me feel uncomfortable. I wouldn't want anything to do with them personally. I know it's a prejudice and a lot of people probably think it bad but I just can't tolerate it. I hate transsexualism, transgenderism and transvestitism.
Edit: I knew this would get me negged and I know it's an awful thing to feel, but it's the one thing that makes me uncomfortable. I have met transsexual people and I know they can be lovely and I understand they endure so much pain in their belief that they were born into the wrong gender, I just don't agree with what they do to themselves, and I don't accept it because it just goes fundamentally against a lot of things I feel strongly about and it contradicts my ideas of right and wrong and I just don't like the whole trans thing. The OP asked for no BULL **** and this is my honest opinion. But feel free to disagree, that's what TSR is for.Last edited by willbee; 08-05-2012 at 03:32. -

Re: What would you do if your instructor was a trannsexualThere's an awful lot wrong with that post, but I'm too tired to argue. It's pretty disgusting that people treat transgendered people in this way.(Original post by OMGWTFBBQ)

Re: What would you do if your instructor was a trannsexualIm going to be 100% honest here. I would be creeped the f*** out. I dont have a problem with gay people, but I am literally terrified of male to female transexuals. It's a phobia that I very much do not want to have, but I cant help it.

Re: What would you do if your instructor was a trannsexualI'm still here........(Original post by Play-A-Record!)
I seem to remember that there was a transsexual driving instructor on here not so long ago asking the same thing (although, in a slightly less retarded manner). Most didn't seem to mind.
........Wahahahahahaha

Re: What would you do if your instructor was a trannsexualYou should dump your mate for starters - crazy indeed!(Original post by 2_plus_X_equal_me)

So you would do a runner if it was a male to female transsexual but not the other way round? I don't think your comment about women wearing men's clothing being the social norm is the reason. I wear trousers almost all the time when I am instructing, because it is more convenient and more comfortable.
Now, this is likely to be a controversial statement and I am not saying it does apply to you but a lot of men have a problem with transsexuals because they fear that the person is going to fancy them and make a pass at them (or whatever the current terminology is). Complete rubbish (ooh the temptation to put in a pun then was very great!) If the guy is a real adonis he is more likely to be propositioned by a gay guy than a transsexual!
In the same way as you are in the car to learn to drive, the instructor, regardless of gender, is in the car to teach you. It is not a social or a sexual exercise.
When I originally posted here about being transsexual, I had overwhelming support from the members of TSR (for which I am very grateful). As for my pupils, I reckon I've lost a small number because of who I am but it's their problem, not mine. I don't like it but there's nothing I can do about it. Some of those I expected to lose, I have kept; some I have expected to keep I have lost. There's no telling - but I applaud anyone who takes a transsexual at face value and doesn't condemn them for the way they live their life.
Finally, I would never have become an instructor had I not jumped over the gender fence. When I trained, as a man, I was uptight, impatient, bossy and uncaring because my internal struggle was made manifest in my instruction. I changed, half way through training, resolved my internal struggle, passed the exams with flying colours and am now a successful, if impoverished, instructor. On the positive side, my pupils get a female instructor, patient, calm and approachable who has good spacial awareness and can park the car.
(That was irony by the way, just in case!)

I couldn't care less if my driving instructor was transexual or transvestite, I don't care about their private lives, if they're a good teacher, what more can you ask for?
i know.
