Would you ever be in a romantic relationship with someone who is trans?

[Flower_Power]

This is a controversial question, and therefore a risk. I support the trans community, and I ask this purely out of curiosity. Please message me privately if this question offends you (I will take it down).

Also, if your answer is no, why not?

God no. Why? Because transgendered people creep me the out to be perfectly honest. I know that’s not the popular thing to say, or the politically correct thing to say, but I don’t care. I don’t have to like them or what they do.

Yes, I’ve known trans people. More than one. And hung out with them. On more than one occasion. I can treat someone decently and with respect and still be inwardly disgusted with them and in awe of the profundity of their mental illness. This doesn’t keep me from talking with them about music or Netflix at a barbecue, but I could never be with someone so delusional that they play dress up and mutilate their bodies in some quest to be something that they never can truly be.

[kattman]

Absolutely. They are just as human as anyone else, and probably want to be loved just as much.

I have a partner that is trans masc. He is so awesome.

[Flower_Power]

Reading this made my day!

[XXblack88]

No I would not romantic be in a relationship with a trans person. There are two reasons why I wouldn't be in a romantic relationship with a trans person 1 is most trans people won't tell the person they are dating that they're trans not giving that person the opportunity to have a say in whether they are or aren't ok with dating a trans.2 is If I'm in a romantic relationship with a guy I want that guy too be a biological male not someone who was born a girl who decided to transition later in life.

[sheikalana]

If I was single and met someone with whom I had a great connection with I would probably date them but I'm currently married so no.

[OlderAndWiser]

Hell Fucking No! I am 100% heterosexual and I am not dating a boy who is pretending to be a girl.

[roaring20sman]

Nope.
As a straight male, I have zero interest in cock (even if it is pushed up inside), I have a biological desire to procreate and require my partner to have female chromosomes, female reproductive organs, and real female genitals.

For those who claim a persons genitals should not matter... are full of shit or filled with the same mental illness as those who claim to be “panda kin” or the other endless “genders”

Those people would not date a person with down syndrome or leprosy... I mean why not... it shouldn’t matter what someones disorder is, right?

They wouldn’t date a murderer or a pedofile would they? I mean it shouldn’t matter what the persons personality is, right?

What about dating an animal? Should it matter what a creatures species is?

How about someone who has sever schizophrenia or a cannibal? Should mental state matter?

[MCheetah]

No, because I'm not attracted to men, or to women who live pretending to be men. I'd be friends with a transperson, if they are actually nice and respectful (few trans people I've met are; most seem to be entitled pricks who want the world to kiss their asses and will cry out "transphobe" if you don't), but I can't/won't date a man.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I would be friends with them, but I highly doubt I would ever be in a romantic relationship with one.

I date so that I can find a good man, who I can marry and have children with in future, for this I need a man with X and Y chromosomes.

If I ever decide I don’t want children, which I doubt because I want my genes to be passed on, I would maybe not care as long as I like the person, but it is unlikely.

[Flower_Power]

This is a very fair response.

[DizzyDesii]

No i prefer to date a male who was born a male and has male genitals. If i dated someone who was born female, that would make me homosexual and I am not. I am happily straight and prefer to date someone who is also straight. I personally feel anyone who is crossdressing or not straight is dazed and confused, possibly following a trend, but that is up to them to stay in wonderland if they please. I will remain cordial and stick to my close-minded corner

[JamesDiaz11]

Why are you so afraid of the trans activists coming after you? I'm so tired of everyone being such scared cowards when it comes to this issue. It's not controversial; if you're a heterosexual man you will not be interested in a man, who claims he's a woman; nor would a heterosexual woman be interested in a woman who cuts her hair short, and wears "guy clothes."
The answer for me, is hell no.

[sirderpsalot123]

Nobody is entitled to sex from anyone and this doesn't exclude transgender people. People who try to shame others into having sex with people are fucking weirdos, man.

[JamesDiaz11]

@sirderpsalot123 Just google half the predators who claim they're trans women lesbians, who shame other women into sleeping with them. It's absolutely disgusting.

[TommyMountainFigure]

I don't understand why it has to be a controversial question. It's only a yes or no answer.
I understand that people grow up believing they are the wrong gender, and if they wish to change it, then live and let live is my motto. However, that does not mean I wish to be involved with someone who was something and is now something else.

[Dchrls78104]

No way. A trans woman, for example, is not a real woman at all; but a fraud, a pervert, and an impostor. Such a person would be nothing but an intruder into my home. If you meet an intruder in your home, the natural response is, not to welcome him with open arms, but to do whatever is necessary to safeguard your life and property.

[MrOracle]

No. I am straight and only have romantic or sexual interest in genetic females who identify as female.

I don't care what others choose to do - date any adult who will have you - but I am not obligated to be attracted to men just because they dress up as women or feel like one.

[CoffeeBeanBlack]

Not particularly interested. Nonbinary people can fall under the crowd and if I find a NB person attractive I wouldn't decline to dating them. It would be weird having to tell people that I'm not as heterosexual as I thought but thats the only way that I know for sure that id date a person thats under the trans gender umbrella

[Smile_empty_soul]

No. And here is why. I like most straight men want children that are biologically ours. Not only biologically ours but biologically the person we are with as well. Dating a trans person is the same as dating a gay person. Its a Darwinian dead end. Meaning its a union that at its core cannot produce children. From my point of view, besides the fact that I'm not gay, A romantic relationship that cannot produce children is a waste of time.

[Shamalien]

Not in a million years. I try to avoid people who self harm, and although everyone self harms a bit, trans is way too far. Bodily mutilation? I’m not even a fan of tattoos and piercings let alone this. I want me a natural woman who can bear children and who is actually female, with a female brain and body, not some mr potato head slapped on frankenpussy

[StrawberryShake]

Why would this offend anyone? Lmao it's literally a serious question... My answer is possibly.

[Flower_Power]

Dude there's people on here that acted as though I'm asking if they want to molest a child. One guy even brought up his "good high value Christian morals." You never know with some of the nutcases on here.

[StrawberryShake]

I literally don't see the correlation between the two but okay. You're going to offend people regardless so why take it down? Freedom of speech man

[Flower_Power]

I mentioned molesting because that is something people would have the response “FUCK NO!” to.

[ACR130]

People can be respectful and just say no which is my answer. But you know republicans.

[Aerissa_Jade]

Not long term as I want to have children with the man I marry. Biological children.

I wouldn't mind being friends though or hanging out.

[DaveJord]

Nope, I am Pro- hetero man, therefore I am only interest in real biological women. Morally opposed to Trans. Think its a mental health issue and/or people who are insecure about gender are unattractive to me.

[Anonymous]

Yes.

[kattman]

Beautiful

[Rizwan_khan]

No i never have been in relationship with trans and it hink i never would.

[Flower_Power]

You were actually polite when you said no. No one else who said no has done that. Well done!

[Rizwan_khan]

Thanks and i don't think that there is need for giving inappropriate answer. You just ask normal question i just give you basic answer. 😊

[Flower_Power]

If you read some of the responses below, some people are quite mean.

[Rizwan_khan]

Yeah I have read just ignore them 😊

[Smoke-n-Growls]

Absolutely, yes.

I'm bisexual, and define it as being attracted to genders both my own and not my own - meaning I'm open to enbies, too.

Trans women are women, trans men are men. Trans rights are human rights.

[LovingLoverReturned]

Knowingly no.
I want someone like myself. It's simple. In what sense? Don't worry about that.

Would they date each other? Some. Maybe happily, maybe grudgingly... Same is with us.
Feelings need no explanation. They are what they are.

[SlothySlob]

Controversial question? Nowadays? Hardly. The only thing controversial could be the answers.

And by trans, what do you mean. Transsexual or transgender?

[Flower_Power]

I suppose either.

[Flower_Power]

I do kinda regret asking this question due to a couple responses I have gotten from it.

[ComradeCarabao]

@Flower_Power It's really unfortunate that asking a question about trans-people, almost always, brings out the same group of trolls; the "opinions" they share are on this topic are more like expressions of insecurity than anything, and I remain skeptical of them actually believing what they feel the need to say on post-after-post-after-post.

[SlothySlob]

@Flower_Power Ah, sorry!
Firstly, it's to whom I'm attracted, a person who is woman like so to speak. Displaying feminine traits and the such. That would exclude FtM transgender or transsexual people.
Personally I'd love to build my own family, no build from other's pieces.

Ultimately, everyone has the right to be whatever they want and desire whatever they want. I other words, selfish towards yourself and you needs.
