  • Forcing a straight men to get attracted to a transgender is just as wrong as forcing someone gay to be straight.

    The whole transgender thing is a product of a larger issue, everyone is placed in certain boxes. The actual transgenders are likely rare since i can't imagine many thinking holy shit it feels so wrong to have a penis/vagina i just have to have the other one. Instead they feel a certain way either feminine or masculine and as a society we wrongfully associated these with a gender and we keep telling people certain things are wrong because of there genitals.

    If we stop all that nonsense of your gender X so you have to do Y the world would be a different but ultimately better place. The whole gender issue would stop existing and we can go back to Male , Female and Inbetween (For the rare people who where born with both genitals) based on how you where born instead of how you express yourself. In my eyes there is nothing wrong with acting feminine as a guy or masculine as a girl but why is there such a need to call yourself the other gender over this? Is it that hard to just say your a male while liking things associated with feminine traits?

    I feel all this confusion and frustration, bitterness and anger doesn't stem from the whole gender issue since in my eyes there shouldn't be one. The reason the LGBT community feels so misunderstood is because we haven't fixed the problem of placing people in unrealistic boxes and instead we keep telling them they are a wrong male or a wrong female so they are forced to change status to conform to this insanity.

    So this is why ill always see you as a feminine male or a masculine female instead of the opposite gender, that is not out of disrespect but because i actually don't discriminate based on gender. That still means that for this question i will see them as a guy, who genital wise i am not attracted to.

    • >The actual transgenders are likely rare since i can't imagine many thinking holy shit it feels so wrong to have a penis/vagina i just have to have the other one. Actually... that's EXACTLY what it feels like for a lot of trans people. It's not just a psychological thing or a revolt against gender roles (which, by the way, I agree, are way too restrictive). It's actually a biological thing. Very simply put, male and female brains do have slightly different structures (even if individual brains vary a lot), and since the brain and the genitals develop separately in the womb it occasionally happens that they develop in different direction -- say you get a female-coded brain, but male genitalia. This then leads to gender dysphoria, the feeling that your body's sex is just WRONG.

    • @DinaM I understand and i acknowledge that's a thing, but do you think that is the case of the majority or do you think most are just not liking there gender role? Because personally i'd find it more logical for people to switch genders because they are told what they feel like is a masculine or feminine trait rather then there genitals.

    • I don't really think so. This is of course one of the first questions people ask of trans people: Isn't it just that you don't like the role that society has decided for your sex? But that's not the case. Of course, there'll always be posers and pretenders for everything, but people who actually ARE trans, at least the ones I know, don't care overly much about gender roles. There are masculine transwomen and feminine transmen, and androgynous people on all sides. If there were no gender roles, yes, there would still be transgender people... but nobody except trans people would actually give a damn. They'd say, "oh, you're a man? Duly noted" and move on.

  • I think guys shouldn't be forced. But guys like me and my friends that want to be nice, rational people should feel morally compelled to date transgender women under 2 conditions. Firstly, the guy has to be okay with some form of anal. Transgender women have to have their prostate stimulated to orgasm, which means anal play, with toys or the guy's dick. I'm really into the idea of anal so that doesn't factor in for me. Secondly, if the guy wants to go through childbirth with his woman which I don't fault people for, then no, he would not be able to date a transgender woman. But again for me, I'd be ok, and would insist upon adoption either way. There are a lot of kids out there that need parents. So for example, I don't feel I any rational reason to not date a transgender woman so yes, I would. In short, nobody should be forcing guys, but guys that don't have a problem with those 2 things I listed should take a long look in the mirror and ask themselves if there is any way they can become a more logical, rational person.

    • I just realized I forgot to mention, this is only the case if they are post op. I wouldn't date anyone with a dick. And of course they have to be a pretty girl, not all trans have the right looks or personality for me to date. I'd say the overwhelming majority do not.

    • Just like the overwhelming majority of biological women aren't compatible with me either.

    • I and along with a lot of other people would consider you bisexual if you did this

  • Obviously nobody should be forced or shamed into dating anyone they don't want to -- even if the reason they don't want to is based in prejudice or intolerance. I'm all for encouraging people to be more tolerant and try out new things (or people), but you don't achieve that with trying to force a romantic or sexual connection.

    A lesbian who's afraid of men because of bad experiences in the past should not be made to date a man in order to get through to her fear. A straight man who struggles with homophobia should not be forced to date a gay man so he can become more accepting of gays. Hell, even a racist shouldn't be forced to date a POC in order to become more tolerant. I mean, those dates would probably end in disaster for all people involved.

    Now, would I have loved it if a straight guy was ALLOWED to date a straight woman without having to suffer through all the "LOL what A FAG" and "OMG DONT FOOL URSELF U R SO GAY" comments from people who think they're being insightful and/or hilarious? Yes! I would have loved it if we lived in a world where two consenting adults could be free to date regardless of gender, sex, race, religion, or any other differences or similarities between the two, and everyone else could just butt out and let them be.

    Sadly, that's not the world we live in. But there's a big difference between calling for tolerance and insisting that people should "work through" their non-attraction. Zinnia Jones was out of line with those Tweets and she should be ashamed that she wrote them.

    • Sigh. I wrote "straight woman" when I meant "transwoman." I'm just bad at writing today.

    • A straight man would never date a transgender woman. If they did... they aren't straight

    • Yes, that's exactly the sort of comment I wish we could be spared.

  • Never! That is horrible, disgusting, and infringing on their human rights!

    This is why being PC needs to be eradicated. The truth needs to be said and who cares if a few mentally ill people whine and cry?

  • Of course not. No one should be forced into dating anyone, least not someone who doesn't fit their gender preference

  • No, no one should be forced to do anything from dating a transgender person to baking a cake for a gay couple or forced to celebrate pride. These people seem to want to push their ideas onto everyone and won't be happy until they can force everyone into their LGBT ways, which will never happen!

  • If I was with a girl and found out it was born a biological man, I'm kicking it's ass. Idc if someone is gay or bi, that doesn't play in affect here. But if it's a guy pretending to be a girl, surgery or not, and that info is kept from me from the beginning, I'd be angry as hell because that's living a lie. You wanna find someone that accepts you for you, sure, that's what we all do. But lying to be with someone or saying a straight guy should be forced or lied to so he has to be with a transgender, someone who came into this workd with a dick but later chose he didn't want it, that's just flat out dumb.

    • I agree.

  • No one should ever be shamed or forced to date anyone, regardless of whether or not it's a transgendered person. If you're not into someone, you're not into someone. That's it

  • No one should be forced to like anyone they are not interested in. That's sexual abuse.

  • I'm a straight man - you can't force that on us. I don't agree with the whole gay/trans movement...

  • Only if women should be forced to date short men. Nope didn't think so.

  • No...

  • Fuck, no.

    I often wonder how the hell we've got to the mess we're in.

    • I do to. The world is going to hell in a hand basket

  • tbh, i think eventually, some dudes might come around. this stuff is a big deal now... but with time, i think it will become more normalized.

    • I hope not. And I dont think a straight man will come around to being with a guy that looks like a girl but has a dick.

    • well, if someone fully transitions, they won't have a dick anymore.

    • They were born a man... they are still a man.

  • So first of all, no one should be shamed because of their tastes. Food, clothes, music, sexual preferences, ... It's not of our concern!
    And second, you can't force people to date! At least not in a free contry, I'm not aware of the laws of all countrirs on earth.

  • I'm sure this activist would also say guys should be shamed into dating fat girls that they just don't find attractive too
