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
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.

Also, I think if we judge people for not being attracted to someone it's a bit wrong. We can't control who we're attracted too. Sexuality isn't a choice. I think it's a bit backwards to call someone a bigot if they'd never date someone who was transgendered

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.
Modern discrimination against cis people. Just because I have a personal preference against dating former members of my own gender doesn't make me awful. It's genetics - just as being a homosexual is not a choice.
For the people that voted no or I'm not sure, is it possible your answer would change if they had gone through the full operation(s)? (including changes to sex organs)

I didn't want to date a trans, but after reading Retti's post I am strongly considering it.
Love isn't something that can be defined or hindered by physical characteristics. Thanks for opening my mind to that Retti, and shame on the moderators for trying to censor the notion of love that can transcend physical sexual organs.
Really a beautiful post, and one I will be showing to friends and family.
