Re: Would you have a relationship with a transgender person?it's not really a man though is it, it's a woman with a mutilated vagina that dresses like a man.(Original post by Cmmah)
I'm talking about a woman going out with a man who used to be a woman. -

to answer the original question, yes I would. -
Re: Would you have a relationship with a transgender person?
do we really need this thread? - fair enough, all of you can go yes/know... but enevitably it will be filled with ignorant/offensive comments towards trans people
and speaking as a transwoman, i dont really see this accomplishing anything usefull, but to give a platform for hatefull comments... -
Re: Would you have a relationship with a transgender person?
hmmm... while i fully accept their GENDER as being the one they feel... i'm not sure if i would... i really wouldn't know unless i were in that situation... 50% of me is saying yes, 50% is saying no... but now while i'm thinking about it... 80% of me is saying yes, 20% no... i really can't think why i wouldn't... so if i were sexually attracted to them both physically and personally (like anyone else) then yes, probably.
if they were post op then yes if they were pre op/not considering op then no.Last edited by Bellissima; 02-07-2012 at 01:03. -
Re: Would you have a relationship with a transgender person?well really we don't need any threads they are just ways for people to talk about/ see peoples opinions on things that interest them and most threads don't accomplish anything useful. Most of the problems people have to do with trans people are todo with it being "strange" and unusually so making it something we "shouldn't" talk about to avoid these comments will keep it seeming strange because people will never hear about it.(Original post by fallen_acorns)

Re: Would you have a relationship with a transgender person?how come?(Original post by blu tack)
nope, he would be a man. -
Re: Would you have a relationship with a transgender person?because someone who is assigned as female at birth and then changes their sex legally or personally to match their gender (i.e male), is a man. just like someone who is assigned male at birth and whose gender is male is a man.(Original post by SnoochToTheBooch)
how come? -
Re: Would you have a relationship with a transgender person?Its all well and good talking about it in a civil manar... but i just hope people keep in mind that being transgender is very tough+ can cause people to have a pretty hard life... i mean 40% of trans people try and kill themselves, and most have to live under constant hate/harrassment/abuse/troubles... before they go posting hurtfull coments...(Original post by boba)

Re: Would you have a relationship with a transgender person?lol too true, but that's an interesting question too(Original post by timeofflight)
OK, I have engaged my brain now. I have read your post and I think you really need to change the wording. Transgenic does not mean what you think it does. -
Re: Would you have a relationship with a transgender person?
I think it would really be something I'd have to confront at the time. I honestly don't know. I think it would be strange to view someone who, y'know, looked like a man, as a woman, but on the other hand it just is difficult to know how you'd feel in advance. It's an easy option to burnish your liberal credentials by saying you would, but in reality I know it's something a lot of people have problems with, and I'm really not sure how I'd feel at the time - though I'd really hope it wouldn't matter.
