    In this thread, being a homophobe or transphobe seems to be an acceptable thing. Ah, the left.

    Oops, but scarcely worth a post, is it? Unlike this abomination of a thread.

    Oh, just because people are not willing to make love to or fall in love with transgender or transsexual people they are automatically transphobic? No. Wrong.

    No, but when they think they can see people's chromosomes with their x-ray vision, they are.

    I can't, but if I could, that is how I would absolutely decide the gender of a person. Also, don't you think it is a little silly to call me transphobic when I constantly say that I stand in solidarity with the entire LGBTQ community and that I support the equal rights of all sexualities? No, but just like with the pedophile thread, you are simply pulling things out your emotional ass and not adding anything to the conversation.

    I really do not personally care if a woman calls herself a man and gets a penis. To me personally, that person is still a woman, even though she should have the right to be 100% equal and be legally considered whatever she wants.
    It could be perceived as transphobic to call a transman a "woman" and call him "she" just because of genetics.

    No, it's not silly, if you determine the correct pronouns for transpeople based on their genetics and not by the gender they live as.

    Yes I would; actually I have a really big soft spot for transwomen with male genitalia (hope that doesn't sound like I'm reducing them to their mere genitalia here...).

    I don't think it's necessarily true that those who wouldn't want to date a transperson are transphobic. I agree that a transwoman is indeed a woman if that's what they choose to identify as, and I'd support them against discrimination and prejudice; my personal dating preferences don't change that. Maybe if I knew a transperson it'd change my view, and maybe it is just because of underlying prejudices I might hold, because I don't feel like it's something I'd be able to get past in a partner but I can't really articulate why..

    I'll date anyone who isn't a prick. So, my choices are limited. LOL

    My personal preference: my partner has to be a woman (appearantly I can never be sure), she has to look like a woman, and she has to have female genitalia.
    first, you have again proven my point that you and folks who think like you are bigots. you are defining what is and what isnt a woman based on bullshit cis sexist notions and erasing the identities of trans people. but i guess it's just so fucking imperative that you defend your personal prefences here at the expense of other peoples' rights.
    you also cannot know what (internal) genitalia someone has just by looking at them. a transwoman who has undergone gynoplasty has female genitalia as far as anybody is concerned. doctors dont assign gender to babies by looking their internal organs. in fact the way in which doctors do assign gender is often extremely problematic, concerning intersex ppl, but that's another issue for another day. for what it's worth, ive seen cis women with far more masculine looking physical features than some transwomen.
    like i said, please grow the fuck up.

    Eeeeh, this thread again?

    Being trans is not a dealbreaker for me. I like winter more than summer. I don't want to kiss someone who smokes. My favourite colour is black. I don't want to have sex with The Doctor or his mom on a forklift. I like pizza. Is there anything else you need to know to decide whether I'm a true leftist?

    but i guess it's just so fucking imperative that you defend your personal prefences here at the expense of other peoples' rights.

    Mhh. Depends. I'm willing to date anybody with a girl body i guess. She must have a vagina too...I hate penises. (exepted mine)
    It could be weird though to tell my friends/family that this person is in fact a boy stuck inside a girl's body.

    But i'm already with someone So it's irrelevant from now.
    Prolier than thou!

    I think it should be pointed out, that recently the girl who won Miss Canada to go to Miss Universe was disqualified from the competition after it came out she was born a male. I must say that she was gorgeous and as a straight man, had I not known...... But truthfully, whether or not it says something about me and underlying homophobic tencdecies, I would be unable to get over the fact that the woman I was with had formerly been a man.
