For a metalhead like me, this question would turn into: "Would you consider dating Marissa Martinez (if she was single)?"

As for the thread, I really don't know. I've never met any trans IRL that made me go like "ZOMG I must f**k that", but (thanks to the internet) I know that there are many who are even more beautiful than most women.

I don't know if I would be able to have a propper sexual intercourse because they ARE men and, among other things (aka penis and balls), SMELL like men, which is a huge turn off. And I would really freak out if he would like to insert something in MY rectum.

As for the day to day living, I don't know how that would work as well. Trans usually go though hormone treatment, meaning that they high levels of both have male and female hormones; if women are the way they are with JUST their hormones, I can only imagine how that would turn out.

The older I get the less interested in sex I am (shame on me I know), but I don't see that this fact would turn things over so much as to feeling like having a TS as my couple (a TS who would not attract me sexually but with whom I get along extremely well, and because of sex not being important anymore i would choose the getting along as the most important aspect even if that meant no sex). I don't think that's ever going to happen. Never say never but at my age I'm pretty sure.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Ahh was gunna make some joke how I am really a lesbian trapped in a man's body, so that works out well, but I think I've been beaten to the punch.
And I ripped it off from Eddie Izzard...

Anywho, wow IDK.
I guess yes?
I mean I want to say no...but you never know. If hypothetically I fell in love with a transsexual then I guess so.
If you truly fall in love with someone I reckon it wouldn't really matter.

Intriguing, can't say I've pondered the issue LOL

To start off: no, I wouldn't.

My take on the subject is: there are quite a lot of people who do not feel the least comfortable in their own biological selves.
I have every sympathy for them and would support their choice for a sex-change OP, if that enables them to live a happy life which they otherwise wouldn't.
For the life of me I can't see why these people should be shunned by society for making a very brave attempt to gain happiness, a process of which the result is even cannot be a certainty.
Everyone has a right to happiness, why should people be made to suffer just because society says that this doesn't fit the norm? Society can be pretty sick.
There are people who accept such a process and embrace such a relationship, there are others who don't feel comfortable. Personally. I fit in the second catagory.
I would not feel uncomfortable having transexuals as friends.
Live and let live.

Some children are born intersex. What they are in terms of x y chromosomes is irrelevant.

On Wiki there's an article on intersex you might find interesting. I went to the article on hermaphrodite and right above

Hermaphrodite

was a picture of Jimmy Wales. LOL

And now, a picture of two snails getting it on...

hermaphrodites? Biologically what are they? They have to be either woman or man, there is no genetic alternative. However, they may be biologically messed up men or women, like Siamese twins or webbed feet. Still I guess if I met a girl and she was disfigured down under (its not like she'd have a full set of male organs or something, but just a muddle), and she was born that way, then I would be understanding. Hey, nobody's perfect, least of all me (Steve Hackett Lyric?). I may sound naive but at present I can imagine a relationship without sex or babies quite easily, so I wouldn't freak if a girl I got involved with was biologically incapable of such things.

SE: Well that happens sometimes. But I'm asking if you would.

So I still owe you an answer. Well, I don't think so, and not only because I have little interest in dating at all. So I vote for No. Maybe it is a mentality of what is called in my native language Wa' d'n boer nie ken, da' vrêt ie nie (proverb, translated: The peasant does not eat what he does not know). But sometimes, when push comes to shove, I may behave otherwise than I think I would.

And I may be even less interested in hermaphrodites...

That seems needlessly self depreciating i.e. you are clearly a discerning and sophisticated individual so why accede to the self fulfilling prophecy that your reticence to confront what might be a discomfiting phenomenon, validates such reticence?

If that "hermaphrodite" was Jamie Lee Curtis then sure, why not?

Foreplay might be confusing though..."my god, what a choice!"
