Poll: Would you hook up with/date a trans person?

[Gorrath]

Cpatcha was a mess

 

[Godhead]

No, doing something that sounds like it would require some amount of effort. Also Alex Jones told me that trans people have super cooties, and nobody wants super cooties.

Don't you know they're part of the gay agenda and the globalist zionist islamist lizard jewish banker conspiracy that got obama the socialist elected Ah Alex Jones what an interesting figure for the people to put their trust in to. BUY MY WATER FILTER THE GOVT WATER IS COMMIE MIND CONTROL.

Idk I just think trans people are sexy, it's like genitals that can seem disgusting on a guy are somehow cute to me on them, and the post op ones can be pretty great to. Hopefully one day I can be part of the jewish islamic gay lizard consspiracy of bankers and try something with a trans girl

Alex Jones isn't crazy, he's just a Dragon Ball.

 

[Addendum_Forthcoming]

I think I could marry an intersex man. I don't believe that God meant for the entire group of intersex people to be celibate, nor indeed to marry only other intersex people, so it makes sense that they should be acceptable in normal marriages and I shouldn't have a problem with it. Intellectually, I think it shouldn't be any weirder than marrying a guy with any other genetic abnormality or deformity... though I don't know how I'd feel about it if I actually were in that situation, and sometimes our feelings don't match our rational understanding of things (you can be disgusted by something that you reasonably shouldn't find disgusting). And in my understanding, intersex covers not only visibly weird stuff between the legs, but also just having a genetic setup that doesn't clearly indicate either male or female (XXY, XXXY, etc.).

Hmmm, I kind of fall into that category given Klinefelter's. But if you are talking Klinefelter's (XXY) specifically, you're still talking males in most biological contexts. But in situations of specifically XXY, etc, it's not technically intersex for the great majority. Your average, run of the mill human has 44 autosomes (regardless of male or female), and a pair of sex chromosomes. 22 pairings of autosomes, 1 pairing of XX or XY. In Klinefelter's where you have increased number(s) of X chromosomes.

What's really interesting is that these are actually typically represented by what is known as 'Barr bodies' in human females. Inactive DNA/RNA untranslated sequences that are present and rendered inert by lyonization. By processes unknown to us still, these Barr bodies that SHOULDN'T interact with cellular mitosis and cell development do in many cases. Leading to a huge degree of differences that are not at all uniform.

So whilst people with Klinefelter's (XXY) it's hard to make determinations in many cases. Your average human female has one barr body and so does XXY males, where as the average human male has zero. BUT the process of an active Y chromosome does impart an easy designation of sex in MOST cases. I like to think of myself as Human+ ... all you pitiful mortals with only 46 chromosomes... though it's not a nice thing to be born with. Whole host of problems.

 

[Fdzzaigl]

Probably not, though I can't say I've ever even come close to that situation (don't know any people who have truly went through with operations or other kinds of changes).

Of course it would be different if the trans part were fantasies they were having.

 

[Ihateregistering1]

...if you have suspicions it's perfectly okay to ask if someone is trans, or not.

Ok, gonna strongly disagree with you on this one. Seriously, tell any guy to go up to the next woman he meets and ask her whether she was born male or female, and let me know how it turns out for them.

Well I was speaking specifically in the case if someone has suspicions, so thanks for taking a small part of my post out of context. As things go there are ways to tell if someone is trans. The leg spacing on biological men is different from biological women. So that could be used to spur the question in that case.

It doesn't matter if you suspect or not, you're still running a risk, because your average woman is not going to be particularly happy to have someone ask her whether she was born a man or not, even if it comes with a caveat like "I'm asking because you're really tall", or "I'm asking because your leg spacing seems different than most women", or "I'm asking because you have broad shoulders". What you're basically saying is "you have masculine characteristics", and most folks of either gender don't like being asked why they have stereotypical characteristics of the other gender.

 

[Mutant1988]

Something to keep in mind - No one is ever obligated to be attracted to anyone. So if I say that I'm not attracted to a woman that used to be a man, then that's just how it is.

Is it an arbitrary hang-up on my part? Maybe. But then isn't all sexuality, when it comes down to preferences? If their gender identity is integral to their being, that it's important for them to identify as this and be attracted to that, then be generous enough to let my preferences be integral to my sexual identity.

I'm 100% supportive of trans-people but I'm not interested in a relationship with one. I do wish they were born the right gender to begin with - I hope that is not a controversial statement. I think nature is cruel to let them be born with the wrong gender, not that they are wrong in any way. But I'm not attracted to them, knowing that they were born a different gender. I can't help that any more than they can help their preferences and issues with sexuality.

 

[The Almighty Aardvark]

Honestly not sure.

In real life, I haven't exactly met many trans people. The one person I know was trans was pretty early in his transition, and I didn't find him attractive before or after it (He was also FtM, and I'm not attract to men)

Also, I try to avoid trans porn, on a lot of the principles that I avoid Czech porn. The whole Czech porn, take people off the street and offer them more and more money until they cave and let you do what you want is sleazy as fuck. As well, with the number of trans people who get into porn because they have such difficulty finding other jobs is beyond depression. I try to only watch porn of people who have a better chance of wanting to do it.

So yeah, my answer is basically I don't have much exposure to say. I will say that if I found a trans person attractive, there wouldn't be much barrier towards me dating them.

Sort of Offtopic:

I'm realizing that there's some aspects that I'm woefully uneducated on in this subject. If someone could answer these that would be great.

- If you get your penis/vagina surgically altered, how much sensation is retained?
- Let's say you were a gay FtM transsexual who decided not to get surgery. Would it feel wrong to have sex with a guy as you would with straight couples? Or is this generally very subjective?

 

[The Lunatic]

Pretty unlikely.

I wouldn't rule it out completely, but, I lack romantic inclinations even at the best of times, and from my experiences with a lot of trans people, there's issues there I just wouldn't really be able to deal with and maintain a healthy relationship with a person.

 

[MonsterCrit]

Nope... though with a caveat.
I am Bi sexual. and while I have nothing agains transvestites I do not like being deceived. I have no problems dating a man and no problems dating a woman but if you present yourself as a woman and I find out that you're a man lateri will expell you from immediate vicinity with such force and vigor they will be able to take a plaster cask of my foot from your hide. The same holds true if the gender scenario is reversed.

Now that said, if the first thing you say to me after your name or Hi ' is I'm a transvestite... Different kettle of fish entirely

 

[snekadid]

If I find them attractive and think they're interesting enough, sure. Not all that interested in children, nor am I afraid of "losing my masculinity" or whatever it is the dudebro's whine about when they talk about balls touching.

 

[Reasonable Atheist]

Nope, never. Nevermind the obvious reasons, I rule out most women for being too dramatic. I would not imagine a life of ridicule and internal torment would make for a less dramatic individual.

Cis male here

 

[Secondhand Revenant]

Hook up? Only if they had had surgery, not interested in certain genitals. Date? Sure, regardless of surgery. Dating being a more long term thing and being based on more than just how much I'd want to have sex with them while that's all a hook up would be based on.

 

[DayDark]

Sure I could hook up, but I would treat them as a woman, and I'm kind of uncomfortable sexually satisfying someone elses male genitalia, so I really hope they would be up for anal or oral.

Dating? not really, I want to have my own kids some day. I guess there's technically solutions to that, but really I would have to fall hard for her.

 

[Elfgore]

Hooking up with people just doesn't happen for me. We shall be skipping that one.

Now onto dating one... still a no. I would not feel comfortable dating a woman who was born with male sex parts. Even if it is post-op. Who knows, maybe one day a beautiful trans woman will come and swoop me off my feet, but for now. It be a solid no.

 

[GabeZhul]

No, because there is literally no way in hell such a relationship could ever even get started courtesy of the fact that I am a bundle of nerves when it comes to socializing, always over-analyzing the situation and being anxious about saying the wrong thing and accidentally offending someone; while as the recent trend shows trans people are apparently the keenest mofos when it comes to detecting even possible offense.

Put me in the same room as a transperson and my brain would probably overheat and melt like a goddamn popsicle before we even greeted each other. It's kind of hard to imagine getting even friendly at this point, most people don't like it when someone drips molten brain on their shoes during a handshake...

 

[BloatedGuppy]

Where's the "it depends" answer?

Because it would depend on whether or not I was attracted to them.

 

[CymbaIine]

Depends, if he was still rocking a v-jay jay then no, I prefer a straight forward knob.

 

[Gorrath]

Where's the "it depends" answer?

Because it would depend on whether or not I was attracted to them.

I think the context would be "under any circumstances." So presuming that you found a trans person attractive, would you date them or would you not due to the fact that they are trans, though I think I can figure out your answer from what you've already said!

 

[Depulcator]

Closest I'll ever get is when I tried role reversal/ dress up with my man, did nothing for us, so no.
