i have a problem separating a persons gender at birth from their trans identity. a 6'6 body building dwayne johnson looking person who was a female at birth will still be a woman in my mind. and if i didnt find out they were trans at a later point any previous attraction i had felt on the assumption they were born male would go out the window
Was this thread made to take shots at another poster?
Nah just asking a question. I need this to take the hecticness of work off my mind.
He is the example that had me questioning if I would date a transman.
Truthfully, I'm not against it. I don't leave the house enough to run into any transpeople but if it were to happen and we vibed, then we vibe. I say this also as a person who has questioned whether she likes women or not, so what I like can at best be described as curious.
@Jayne, I have a question for you. Do you tend to find that transwomen get harrassed and murdered more than transmen or is it pretty even across the board? I hear about so many transwomen being murdered but not too many transmen, and I have an idea of why that may be, but I would like to hear the thoughts of a person who lives that reality.
Finally a opened minded person.
Definitely. There's always more attention and danger with women in public spaces in general. A man (presenting masculine) can walk the streets alone at night. A woman no. Also many Ts women are escorts so that's a risky job. Trans men a lot of times can transition more smoothly and pass well enough to be in work spaces without causing too much attention. I feel like what trans women represent to people is more "disgusting" because of obvious misogyny but conflicting ideas of seeing trans women as men who should be able to endure more abuse than the average woman...there's so many things that intersect with trans women that makes it harder for people to accept. No different than the idea of gay men vs lesbians. Even though trans men and trans women basically both intersect man/woman in similar ways. It's more liency and understandable for trans men. They get "sympathy" and also won't be demonized as much, but this also (like trans women) means people won't take them seriously. This dynamic can get so deep and go so many ways.
Why haven't you dated a transman yet? What's wrong with the ones you met? They cornballs?
I don't date much in general. Well to the point of taking anyone seriously.
I haven't had sex in 3 years by choice (going on 4). That should tell you enough.1. Don't dodge the question
