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

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

If they're well on the way to becoming a physical female, enough to pass as female, and they're "my type"? Sure. If she's transitioned into becoming a girl, why the hell should I NOT treat her like a girl? I'm not going to have sex with her until she's fully transitioned and recovered though. That's...something I'm not open enough for. At least not yet anyway.

But yeah, the fact they used to be a guy isn't going to throw me off them completely. I'd be a bit startled at first, but get over it pretty quick. In fact, there's a trans girl in my tabletop gaming group and I've always seen her as female. She's definitely not someone I like in "that way", but if she was I'd definitely consider asking her out.

I would certainly date a trans (both pre-op and post-op) person if I liked them.

If you mean "hook up" as in casual sex, then no, because I'm not interested in that in general.

Nope. Maybe that makes me a bad person and a hypocrite considering how I feel they should be treated equally but I just don't want to for some reason.

It doesn't make you bad at all, I see it as a sort of in between. I've been attracted to thousands of women, a few trans girls, and about 1-2 guys. I am not fully straight, someone who likes a trans person sexually probably isn't fully straight, maybe with exception if they're post op. There's nothing wrong with not being attracted to them. But I never liked anything other then female born females 6 months ago, so keep an open mind things can change.

I feel (almost) the same way. If sexual orientation was a scale from 0 (totally gay) to 10 (totally straight) I'd probably put myself around 8,5-9. Which means that I do think that dongs have their charm, but for some reason I can't imagine myself in a relationship with a man.

Oh, found another without a poll and a comment of yours. Go figure!

I miss Zachary. They were a good person to have around, virulently pursuant with the point and never getting distracted by red herrings.

I actually "met" him on youtube the other day.

And as for a trans person not telling me they're trans... I live in a country where merely mentioning the fact that gay people deserve to have at least unions (not even marriage) is enough to get people flailing their arms and shouting "RABBLE RABLLE HOMOPROPAGANDA RABBLE RABBLE". Needless to say trans people are even less welcome here... So I certainly wouldn't hold it against somebody to keep it a secret.

My dad once slurred some advice to me.

"If it's pretty, fuck it. There is no gay."

I live my life by those words. So there's your answer.

Myself, no hook up/dating (mainly because I'm married ) with a trans person, but also because it's just not how I roll. I'd like to think though, in an alternate reality where I was single that I would at least take the reveal with a bit of grace and defuse the situation with some dignity because shit like that would be awkward for all involved.

Make-up washes off and tan skin eventually reverts to its previous color, a surgically created vagina and/or breasts do not (or a surgically created penis and scrotum and mastectomy). Some people believe that, since no amount of surgery or hormones changes the Y chromosome to an X (or the second X chromosome to a Y) that a transgender person is still 'the same gender' as they were prior. If you're going to claim people's personal opinions are wrong then I have nothing more to add.

Yeah here's another one. I have "XX Male Syndrome" which means I have two X chromosomes, though one did get a Y attached during mitosis. That's besides the point. Genetically I'm female, despite that I was born as a male with absolutely no primary female characteristics. Meaning I've got no uterus, ovaries, vagina, or any other primary physical female anatomy. Strangely enough, most with XX male syndrome never know they have it, are not transgender, or an any way different from a typical male. So leaning on the purely genetics argument doesn't work. Especially because there are plenty of normal women with XY chromosomal setups, and numerous others with sex linked chromosomal variants, who are typical examples of their birth sex.

I don't know. I'd like the chance to find out.
I think that, as long as they told me before we dated/hooked up, I'd be OK with it.

It might even be better since I imagine I'd have more in common with a man-turned-woman than a woman-woman.

I don't know why, but this line made me giggle like crazy.

OT: I'm not actually sure, to be honest. It's never come up in real life, so I can't say. I will say that if I did they'd have to be post op as I think boy parts are gross and ugly. I don't even like looking down in the shower.

captcha: "banana stand" ...I think it's making fun of me.

 

[Dreiko_v1legacy]

If they were physically female and appeared feminine but identified as a man, sure. Not with the men identifying as women ones, though.


Reason being, I'm inherently repelled sexually by the notion of the male body, while the actual male mind is a neutral thing. I know females who identify as males but are not going through sex reassignment surgery and I get along find with them, I wouldn't mind having sex with someone like that were they to be, I guess, bisexual or something (since if it's a woman that feels like a man they'd have to also be bi to wanna sleep with me lol).

Dudes going through it the other way though, no thanks, it's just repulsive to me for some reason.

Funny thing is, I rather like my junk and yet I've no urge to look at anyone else's. Which also gets a bit odd but that doesn't even remain true with porn. Seeing a guy's junk in porn is fine by me but seeing a dude's junk in a public shower holds no interest at all. It's amazing what a little context can do! I know my response is totally out of left field here, just found your statement interesting because it so differs from my own.

 

[Mikeybb]

Well, assuming the hypothetical person has sufficiently low expectations to be happy being stuck with me...

I honestly don't know.

I haven't met and fell for a person who happens to be Trans, nor can I say resolutely that I would be unfazed by a sexual encounter/relationship with someone who was.

That is to say, I'm not closed off to the possibility, just not willing to say 'yes' outright when not having experienced the reality of it.

Hence, I've not picked an answer in the poll.

 

[Dragonclaw]

I'm not much of the "hook up" type, but as long as there was compatibility and genuine attraction I wouldn't mind. Hey. I've seen some transexuals that even up close you'd have no idea were women...but I've also seen some that look like Danny DeVito in a wig and call me shallow, but I'm not into the overall male physique, so she'd have to look passable for me to consider it.

 

[SonicMTD]

I don't really let gender get in the way of how I feel. I am predominantly heterosexual (since I've never tried anything else) that being said, if I found someone who shared a mutual attraction I would be willing to go on a date and maybe take it from there.
