Would you date a trans person? II
Follow up to the thread started by Queercommie Girl here http://www.revleft.com/vb/would-you-...203/index.html
"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."
An explanation of your choice would be appreciated.

Where is the poll?
I am not sure...Depends on the person...Too much variables here
Prolier than thou!
I thought sending a 12 year old to prison for life only happened in religious extremist countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia or the United States? - MattShizzle
Yeah, I'm the first to dissent!
The poll's up now, you two were just very quick into the thread
I'm interested to see how the result has changed over time theres been quite a large turnover of revlefters since then, a lot of trolls were banned and a lot of well established members too

Not attracted to that.
And that's a pretty big part.
You know what I mean by that.
I presume your talking about a penis, something which transwomen who have completely transitioned do not have, does that change anything for you?
For a lot of trans people it would be impossible to tell that they were once of another sex unless they specifically told you.

Yes, I was referring to genitalia. I don't know if it happens or not, but going to have intercourse and coming across a surprise like so would be outside my comfort zone.
Same here.

Is a female's genitalia the same as a transwoman's genitalia. No, it will never be exactly the same, but if you think it will be similar enough, please reply to this post.
Some of them are actually pretty damn similar looking; like it would have fooled me. (I saw pictures in my psyc. class). Same in appearance, but obviously not in functioning.

I would not want to date a trans person.

What are you basing this on? i'll say it again transwomen who have completely transitioned are unidentifiable from women who were born female. For all you know you may have already dated a transwoman. Miss Canada 2012 was transgender and no one knew until she told someone.
So if appearance isn't a problem, which it isn't, then what are your objections to dating a trans person?

"would you date someone who is ethnically black even if they look completely white?"
"no, I'm not racist at all but the thought of them having the genes of a black person freaks me out"
Horrible analogy.

how?
I mean, lets not kid ourselves... appearances aside, there are definite differences in sexual functioning.
If I'm attracted to the person yes.
If not, No.
Pretty simple.
Is this resistance or a costume party?
Either way I think black with bandanas is a boring theme.

Hmm I've been giving this some thought since my answer in the last thread saying I wouldn't, and I'm not actually sure if I would, I don't think I could know unless I was in the situation. It'd probably depend on a lot, if I started dating a transwoman before I knew than it's more likely I'd continue dating them than if I had been aware of it from the outset, and tbh that probably is due to underlying prejudices I might have and the stigma that's associated with it more than anything else.
It is true that it can be very hard to tell the difference if they're post-op, the Miss Canada 2010 was mentioned earlier and damn, she is actually hot, says a lot that she was able to win that competition.
what are these important differences in sexual functioning?
edit: I'm actually curious because I know how male-to-female sexual reassignment surgery works but I do not know how female-to-male works
