So you discover that your girlfriend is transgendered.

[acosn]

Don't care.

I'm not so petty as to reject someone purely based on how they view themselves.

 

[DarkHourPrince]

As my mother is transgendered, (she's currently undergoing the procedure to become male) I can say right now this is NOT a choice. It's a genetic predisposition and that getting the surgery is the ONLY medical treatment for it, left the born sex the girlfriend could get extremely depressed and commit suicide. I'm not kidding, this is actually very common among these types of people. The only thing to do is accept them for who they are and love them. If you loved them before you found out, then finding out should change NOTHING. If it does, they obviously didn't care for them as deeply as they said in the first place.

 

[Violet_Shift]

The first woman that I had a real, genuine attraction for wound up telling me she was a pre-operative transsexual well after the fact. It was a bit of a shock at the time, more in that she'd been holding on to something so profound in the time that I'd known her, but I didn't actually feel any repulsion, and we wound up getting closer after that (closer as friends; she never reciprocated said attraction but I still feel my story applies).

 

[faceless chick]

well, this song covers it perfectly:

[bobknowsall]

I would probably kick her him out of my house, beat her his ass, and then be pissed off that I've been dating a guy. Then lay some more woop ass.

How very... err... enlightened.

OT: I would be immensely shocked, then I'd just kind of accept it. If I loved them, it wouldn't really matter. It would be damn awkward for a few days after the discovery, though.

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

A trap that you fell for, too. Even worse. :S

 

[Z(ombie)fan]

love is love, but if you REALLY want to have kids later (why would you?) you can always adopt

if they are a girl now, that means they have the organs to get pregnant.its not crossdressing.

 

[Uncreation]

You ape creatures and your silly antics If she's good enough to fool you, she's good enough to fool family and friends. The only problem is what to do if you decide you want to marry, settle down, and raise a family because you'll have to adopt.

Of course the real issue isn't her gender but yours and how secure you are in it... right ?
I'm gonna laugh at you now.

Wha....? That's seriously gross...

Huh? What part?

Meh, i think i'd be ok with it. I mean if i love her, that fact doesn't change that. Well, i've never been in this situation, but, i think that's how i'd feel about it.

 

[Colicub]

To be fair, seeing as I'm gay and all, you can totally tell the difference between a real penis and a fake one.

And I'm all about the penis. So y'know, the sexual relationship is over.

For a friend/relative/co-worker? I don't care. If you're a cool person, being male/female/other is irrelevant. It's all about not being a douche nozzle. If you're not hurting anyone else, then I say go for it.

(And before anyone says "but they'll be hurting me/their parents/god/baby jesus by changing gender" no they're not, they're challenging your shallow preconceptions, and you get fuck all sympathy from me)

 

[1080bitgamer]

I may be freaked out for a second, but my only concern would be that she'll want to change back. She is what she is now, so there isn't much of a change at this. Actually, it may even strengthen our relationship, as I can relate to her problems in a more masculine manner, and she can reply as such. It depends, but if you're not immediately freaked out, just go with it.

 

[Koski]

I would be a bit shocked, but also a bit disappointed that she hadn't trusted me enough to tell me she was originally a guy.

But, I guess it takes time to build up that kind of trust. It's probably not often you get acceptance as a transgender.

My girlfriend would always be my girlfriend, even if she wasn't born as a woman. She would always be a woman to me.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

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

i would probably react the same as what you've told...

 

[Akirai]

Best of both worlds.

Unfortunately, sex-change surgeries have not evolved to that point yet. It doesn't make the people who undertake them any less female, though.

 

[chinangel]

Haha, you beat me to the transgender correction. Yup, it's an umbrella term, like queer. Queer still doesn't sit well with me, though, considering what the word actually means.

...Shit, really? 'Transgendered' is an insulting term?

Lol, don't worry, it's not. It just covers more than what the OP stated.

Here's a handy list of definitions for you. [http://www.tsroadmap.com/start/tgterms.html]

Thank you, the number of 'politically correct' terms floating around is dizzying. I can see i used the term TG incorrectly, I should have used transsexual.

 

[Arawn.Chernobog]

If it has a wang, then I'd instantly loose all signs of attraction... and without physical attraction it reduces back to friendship (AND STAYS THERE)

I have no issues with transsexuals, but I need physical heterosexual sex to keep a relationship...

Regarding Friendship? No issues.

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

I have an issue with artificial vaginas if they're made by doctors.

Who would you prefer make them? Carpenters? Boiler Makers? Monumental Masons? Surrealist Sculptors?
