Would you be willing to date a trans person?
Would you, at least in principle/potentially, be willing to date a trans person? This includes both trans-women, trans-men and genderqueers, and it's a question for everyone: straight, homo and trans alike.
No.
Iseul, no offense, but isn't Thomas' thread exactly the same as this one. A little redundant no?
Anyways, yes I would date a transwoman/man/whatever post or pre, doesn't matter much to me.

Why not? And just being curious: are you straight and therefore referring to trans-men here?
It's not the same at all. He was asking whether or not it is bigoted if a straight man decides to not date a trans-woman, he was not directly asking if people are open to dating trans-women.
Of course I would. If I was attracted to someone who happened to be trans, why wouldn't I?
Suppose your right, kinda of a semantics thing though. Your going to get similar responses. Also:http://www.revleft.com/vb/would-you-...ght=transexual
Basically asked the same thing, just a bit more specific. It didn't end well.

This is not a "witch hunt", if that is what you are concerned about.
I'm not into "witch hunts". I essentially believe in Mao's idea of "continuous revolution", and for me the struggle for trans rights is a part of this "continuous revolution". Therefore I never expect "utopian miracles". In fact, I'd say that compared with China, the attitudes of most people here are generally quite progressive. I mean I haven't even told any socialist based in mainland China that I've worked with about my queer status. At least in the West I can be open about it.
Because I don't want to.
I am hardly concerned about it, but this thread will mostly likely get turned to the [Person A:"I am not a transphobe but...*Transphobic statement*.." Person B:"Umm...yeah, that was Transphobic...*why it was*" Person A: "Witch Hunt!" Person C who didn't say anything yet, but agrees with person A: "Here, Here!" Person D (Who agrees with person B): "Yeah, no, its not a witch hunt.." Shit fest ensues.] model of threads.
Perhaps, but that hardly means that the western left gets a free pass on the subject.

Why do some people like the taste of coke and others don't? Why do some people like blond hair and others don't? Why do some people try to find an explanation for the myriad of personal preferences in the realm of the social?
Why do heterosexual men not want to fuck other heterosexual men?
Because they are straight. Dating a post op trans person is the same as dating a natural born person of that sex. I can understand why a straight person would not want to date a pre op trans person. They are still physically the same sex as them. Perhaps you are referring to pre op trans only? Because, frankly, you not making the distinction. Which leaves one to assume that you don't accept their gender.Why do heterosexual men not want to fuck other heterosexual men?

In the society of the future you will have to write an essay whenever you turn down someone.
The anti-disrimination committee does not find your essay compelling. Our finding is that objecting to intercourse with the plaintiff merely for the reason that she wants to insert living bees into your rectum is essentially another form of racism.
You're an idiot.

Well spotted. Obviously it isn't, and if it were this wouldn't be a question at all. It depends on how you define 'sex' as; their reproductive organs, their chromosomes, or whatever. Perhaps I didn't make the distinction because I don't want to date either pre-op trans people or post-op trans people? I can happily accept their gender without wanting to date them.
Jeez...why do some people take an innocent and objective question so seriously? No-one is "witch-hunting" here, it's just asking a completely objective question. You sound like there is something inherently wrong with asking about people's dating preferences with respect to trans people.
If one is not transphobic, then one's "conscience" should be clear anyway, so why the objection towards a perfectly normal question?
I can understand why people might not want to date a post-op trans person because they want to have natural children. But why would something as abstract as "one's chromosomes", which has no pragmatic bearing on actual daily life, matter at all in one's dating preferences?
Hey I ain't gonna sleep with this guy...he ain't got the right chromosomes man! How can you date someone without the right chromosomes?!
I didn't say it should, merely that the definition of 'sex' is more inclusive than what genitalia one possesses.I can understand why people might not want to date a post-op trans person because they want to have natural children.
