So you discover that your girlfriend is transgendered.

[Billion Backs]

Nothing wrong with that. I'd still continue pursuing a relationship if it was going good.

I have a lot of empathy for transgendered and gay people. I'm rather close friends with quite a few people in LGBT community - arguably I kinda fit in under the "B".

 

[Shock and Awe]

Girlfriend: Breakup, sorry, don't roll that way.

Friend: Use it for humor and stay friends, not that big a deal in this situation.

EDIT:
well, immediate reaction would be VERY surprised...

The kind of surprised that can only be fully expressed by having your monocle fall out?

The kind of surprised that is so surprising that I wouldn't even wonder how I was suddenly wearing a monocle...

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

I would freak out and break up with him/her.

If it was a friend I would be a bit taken aback at first, but it would certainly be less of a shock then finding it out about my gf so I could get over it.

But what if, after breaking up with your gf for being trans, you go to your best friend for moral support only to have them tell you they're trans as well? And then all your other friends tell your they're trans... And your family. EVERY ONE YOU EVER KNEW.

I think Kafka wrote a story about that very thing... or maybe I imagined it.

Pretty much that.

On a serious note... still that. and honestly, that's a big lie to keep. It's not about the sex or what have you, that's a pretty deep betrayal.

 

[Urgh76]

Hmmm, stay together. After all, acceptance

 

[Lamppenkeyboard]

More than just a friend, I would have to have a very long and thorough rethinking of my life...

Just a friend/ online companion, things wouldn't be the same but I wouldn't let it really tear apart the friendship.

 

[hippykiller]

if it were my girlfriend. i would literally shit myself and go into a rage the likes of no one has ever seen.

why?

because i have had sex with my girlfriend and if i found out she was a he... i would probebly lose my mind.

Monocles are naturally drawn to imminent surprise. If you ever find a flock of monocles you know something very surprising indeed is about to occur.

 

[Spoonius]

I'm not gonna lie... Trannies freak me the fuck out.

Whilst I never discriminate against them, and always treat them as equals, I have psychological and emotional boundaries. Transvestites and homosexuals unnerve me, in the same way that blood and gore affects others. It's nothing to do with the way I was brought up, it's just that the though of taking part in gay or trannie sex disgusts me.

If any homosexuals or transvestites are reading this, I mean no offence... I'm sure that gay men and women feel the same way about members of the opposite sex...

Then you should probably stop thinking about taking part.

Maybe if you just watched instead?

 

[biggles1]

Yell "ITS A TRAP!" and proceed to flee in terror.

I could care less.

stupid american language

 

[ParkourMcGhee]

Keep watching the cat. The cat sees all.

OT: She's still cute as fuck so think nothing more of it. If anything use it as a way to gain sexual favours .

 

[VirtualInsanity91]

Iv got pretty conservative morals but as long as she fooled me, and she isnt tucking anything downthere were fine. It would be a little bit awkward to say the least

 

[ineedscissors]

i'd probably get the fuck outta there.

 

[DC_Josh]

Yell, "IT'S A TARP!" and proceed to fleet in error.

Seriously though, discovering your 'girl'friend was a dude is a whole different ballgame to a friend or casual aquaintence.

My friend, a sex change operation does not transmogrify a human being into a piece of camping equipment. I am so sorry.

Neither does it mistakenly send you to a small town in Hampshire, but who really cares?

Unless they install a really useless wormhole in place of a vagina. Whether it would be a stargate style one or a perma-gateway between locations is another question.

 

[The Bum]

JK answer: *taps play*

Serous answer:No way, i THINK i would be able to tell....cause you know...the obvous manlyness

 

[Brainst0rm]

There were trannies on America's Got Talent last night. Apparently America doesn't like trannies - at least, not talentless in-your-face trannies.

On Topic: I would end that relationship, and advise him to be totally honest from the get-go in his future ones.

In a friend...I wouldn't be terribly comfortable with it, but I could get over it. Depends on how close friends we were, I guess.

 

[Eerors]

I can empathise with people who are transgender. It must be difficult to be comfortable with yourself pre operation. When you finally are happy, they world seems to turn against you post operation because your different.

To answer the question, I don't know. I'll cross that bridge if I come to it.

Saw that episode. Once again they delt with this issue with all the delicacy of a sledgehammer to the face. I would have though Brian would be more open-minded >.<
"they're supposed to notify the neighbourhood" . . . I'm insulted they compare transsexuals to sex offenders.
Not the same. At all.

 

[superbatranger]

I honestly don't know. I mean, if they were a friend, I'd still be friends with them. I wouldn't let their gender change our friendship. But if I was in a relationship with that person, I have no idea how I would react. At most, I'd probably be hurt that they never told me, and I'd also feel somewhat awkward around them. Would I break up with them or stay with them? Who knows. I've never been in a relationship so I can't really answer that question.
