Question for heterosexuals-

If you were single and met someone of your own sex, who has all the qualities of someone you are looking for as a partner, and they confesed they were gay and wanted you to start a relationship with them, would you?

No, one of the qualities I seek is someone who I can procreate with.

 

[Renae]

Oye Vey! You men are so sexist. What I find funny is that you don't even concider a transgendered male-to-female in your assumptions of "having all the qualities."
Boy, what maroons! (and yeah, that was NOT a typo)

YA know, most people seem to see Tran either MtF or FtM still the original sex they were born as. Genes didn't change even if the plumbings been altered. But your statement didn't fit the OP so... kinda irrelevant. Now asking "Would you engage in a relationship with a Post-Op trans would probably be an interesting one. Most guys would say no just because we're bred to deny any chance of any sign of "gayness".

This is not a question for heterosexuals; it's one for bisexuals. If you are attracted to the same sex, you aren't straight.

I think most people hesitate when it comes to transsexuals due to the emotional baggage in implies. It's like asking someone "would you have a relationship with a recovered cocaine addict?" They may be perfectly normal NOW, but you will still have to deal with their troubled past.

 

[Tucker Case]

They may be perfectly normal NOW, but you will still have to deal with their troubled past.

I hesitate to say anyone who has willingly chopped off their ding ding will ever qualify as "perfectly normal". They may be relatively normal, but prefectly normal? Nahhh....

There is that, but the average straight male culture would be threatened by a trans woman. "Omg what if people think I'm GAY??". I think that would have more of a negative effect. That and explaining to your dad why you're sleeping with a once man. Lot of guys couldn't do that.

Also, why do you assume their past was troubled? Just a curiosity question.

 

[Ethereal]

Men are disgusting. I don't understand what women see in us...

So, to answer your question, no, never.

Lol. Maybe it gave them a rash?

But this is kind of my case in point. It's not so much what they did as the fact that they felt the need to do it. It would make me a bit wary.

The question of sexuality could be an issue. But really, it's not like they would go around broadcasting the fact that the woman in the relationship used to be a man. So this would pretty much be a personal issue.

Even IF they had a normal childhood (which is rarely the case, usually there is some instance of rape or molestation in their past), there is no possible way you could grow up thinking you're a woman in a man's body or vice versa and not have some kind of emotional baggage.

and wanted you to start a relationship with them,

I am heterosexual. So obviously that individual does not have all the qualities I am looking for, so there is no way your question can be true.

would you?

No, because I am not gay nor I am not bi-sexual. As a heterosexual I would never go out with a man pretending to woman just because he got his dick chopped off, got some breast implants and took some pills to make himself look more feminine.

Probably not, unless she is a proud Tgal. And why does it have to be a rape or molestation cause? That's such a bad stereotype.

You're just trying to pick an argument here, I think. Stereotypes usually have some grain of truth. Besides, if you read up on any kind of basic psychology or take a class in it, you will find that a good majority of reported transsexuals usually have some scarring childhood instance(s).

For example, there have been a few cases of a messed up circumcision. The parents decide to turn the boy into a girl while they are still infants. The "girl" will have transsexual tendencies. More still will report that their parents really wanted a child of the opposite sex. So they will treat them like the gender they wanted.

There many studies showing that a sizable percentage of those who follow through on the sex reassignment surgery later regret it.

You can argue all you want that people are "born" transsexuals. As in it's a genetic thing. Personally, I think this argument is a bit weak. How we are socialized growing up has a much larger impact on our adult selves than I think most people realize.

Actually, many Trans are in fact, free from some "scarring" incidents, you're pushing a falsehood brought on by "well I can't see how anyone could feel this way unless" mindset.

There's no scarring from implants or chopping off one's ding-ding?

The marvel of modern medicine!

I don't get it, what's the point of being heterosexual if you're not? Am I missing something?

That's one of those things that appear to be worth missing, IMO.

Not at all. That's just what remember from my abnormal psychology classes. If you have any factual or personal insight that refutes it, please feel free to pass it along; I'd be happy to read it.

straight people are only attracted to the opposite sex. why would you expect a straight person to be in a gay relationship?

 

[americanwoman]

straight people are only attracted to the opposite sex. why would you expect a straight person to be in a gay relationship?

So you think people are born either straight or gay? As in- a straight person cannot become gay and a gay person cannot become straight.

 

[DeeJayH]

So you think people are born either straight or gay? As in- a straight person cannot become gay and a gay person cannot become straight.

for the overwhelming majority, yes

 

[Kal'Stang]

I could never be in a relationship with another man. Friendship yes. Relationship no. Be it sexual or not.

your question is for bisexuals

straight folks are only attracted to the opposite sex
