With all the coverage on TV and online recently, I just wanted to ask you guys a question - would you date a transgender person? Reasoning is cool, saying yes or no is cool, just don't put any dumb in the comments

Yea or naw?

also whats with the "im straight so of cours ethe answer is no" responses? uh hello u freaking transphobe WOMAN are not men you freaking idiot.

if you think being attracted to transwomen makes u gay than that means you think being attracted to transmen is straight, right? by the same logic, it is. but that makes no sense. its almost like u have no logic and youre just a idiot lol

if u actually say no to dating a transowman flat out then what are u even doing?? the question was about dating , nothing about sex, if u say no then that means u only care about sex and not who a person is on the inside or who they really are and not what their external genitals are shaped like.


Sexual compatibility is a major part of a healthy relationship and there is nothing wrong with that

Also a lot of people find it a turn off when their partner can't have kids, so why go through the emotions with someone when you ultimately can't get what you want

Another thing is that there is a lot of taboo and other things when dating a trans, its not like bringing your black girlfriend home and hoping your parents aren't racist. There are many philosophical and religious views that dont support the idea of transexuals.

To me when i could find a born female why would i knowingly go into a situation where there could cause problems in my, sex, friends, family and future family life for someone that i hardly know.

I'm perfectly accepting of everyone but its not something i would want to deal with in my personal life

Nope, except my brain is hardwired to biologically reproduce as per Darwin's ToE. What you said doesn't affect what I did either.

its literally [REDACTED] to think that you can choose whoever you're attracted to

Attraction is as much of a choice that homosexulity is, since homosexuality is basically just attraction to the same gender

"attraction is not a choice therefore no" is a bullshít answer considering the brain will never be hard wired to only ever find attraction to "Genuine" Femininity or Váginas


Is homosexuality a choice?

♫♫One of these things is not like the other. One of these things looks like a man.♫♫


From what I'm seeing, I get the gut feeling they're all trans.

Voted 'no' because I agree that attraction is not a choice. I'm accepting of homosexual people for this reason too. To me, dating is a trial run for marriage, and in my head, marriage = kids. Biological kids. Judge me for that if you will, I have my reasons for thinking that, but won't justify myself as to not encourage a 'Burden of Proof' logical fallacy. The fact that I don't want a partner in life at all is a discussion for another day.

This is a damned if you do, damned if you don't question. It's SUCH a gray zone. I'm hetero, and I wouldn't. But whenever I've said that, people call me a . I respect whatever you want to do, it's your choice, I don't care. But for me? It's just... gray. Idk. It's a definite no.


Like it's really not? People chose who they date regardless of gender in the first place based on looks, personality etc. I'm glad people are being sensitive towards transgender people but honestly saying you wouldn't date someone isn't the end of the world for them, both opinions are perfectly fine

I don't think phrases like "by the way I used to be a man" is something you can just slip into conversation. It's also not relevant to anything posted in this thread.


Before going on any dates I always make sure to inform the girl that I used to be a guy. I also make sure to tell her I'm still a guy as well just to avoid any confusion.

Look at this progressive human trying to bully people into changing their preferences to cater to their lifestyle.

Nobody is obligated to cosign your life choices or alter their life to accommodate your own. Grow up you child

this forum has a lot more transphobic people than i originally thought. which is saying something because i already thought it had a lot.

I don't think I would if I knew beforehand. If they sprung it on me after we were dating a while, itd depend on a lot of things if I'd stay with them.

I'm pretty accepting towards things but life isn't as perfect as tumblr makes it out to be.

That said, I'd never date someone if I knew beforehand they were transgender. You're giving nature the big F-bomb.

Guys let's not be too harsh on him. It's a really new, touchy subject. Uranus, the girl should tell you out of the gate, and you wouldn't have to guess anyway.


I'm not being harsh, I'm just asking him to demonstrate his assertion, that all transwomen except Bailey Jay look like men, by telling me which of the above ladies is transgender.

Now some people could say, hey, what about MtF. Well let's be honest, unless you're Bailey Jay, you probably don't look much like a girl. And while looks aren't everything, I'm just not that attracted to the male figure.


Pop quiz. Which of the following girls is transgender? You should be able to tell just fine since all trans girls, except Bailey Jay of course, look like men.

DrPeePee says

I mean I'm pretty confident in my sexuality (Heterosexual) , and I'm currently in a relationship. But, I guess I'd be open minded that if I liked someone enough I could look past what genitalia they have or don't have. But in all honesty I'm attracted to females, so I don't think it would happen.

Now some people could say, hey, what about MtF. Well let's be honest, unless you're Bailey Jay, you probably don't look much like a girl. And while looks aren't everything, I'm just not that attracted to the male figure.

TL;DR: if they were truly special then maybe, but it'd probably never happen.


what if you think of the hypothetical as "you're attracted to someone. turns out they're trans. is that in and of itself a dealbreaker?"
