Would You Consider Dating A Transsexual?

I usually tell women early on that I have absolutely zero interest in having children (except maybe with a nice garlic sauce and some baby carrots). 

BTW, I was not blaming you for broaching the subject, simply pointing out that it could all go wrong.  I've seen it many times here.  Hey, I've been a part of that process from time to time.

If you really want to have kids and you're seeing someone who really doesn't, or vice versa, you're almost certainly just wasting time and building up for a bigger heartbreak somewhere down the line. I don't think there's anything wrong about finding this out about someone fairly early on for this reason.

You don't get it.

I'm not here to spew any hate ... I have no hatred for anyone based on gender preference, however I like real, straight women. There's nothing ignorant about that. I just prefer natural beauty ... I don't even like women to wear makeup.

Textbook wrote: Zomby: Actually, I'm the same. In fact there's a point where a woman becomes too attractive and sort of porn star looking where it turns me off, like they try too hard to look great, spend too much time on it so it, emphasise looks too much. I hate the cosmetic industry too.

I agree with this sentiment completely.  Too much makeup, facelifts, boob jobs, etc. are big turn-offs for me. 

It depends how much we like eachother. But It kinda creeps me out, to be honest. But I haven't ever dated someone and probobly won't for a long time, so I still have a long time to descide on such matters.

Yes that's right studio audience, the contradiction was in the "its not biology, but it is."

Identity is a social construction

the little dresses and makeup girls wear is a social construction.

for a guy, wanting to be the abstract ideal of a "girl" is a social construction

These things don't exist in genes.

Sexual preference, perhaps does, but that doesn't involve SOCIAL IDENTITY.

There are gay animals, they don't dress up as the opposite gender and try to pass themselves up as the ideal of the opposite gender.

They are regular chromosome-gendered goats, chimpanzees, etc. humping the same gendered animal. The identity games don't enter into it, and it doesn't for a good deal (the majority?) of gay humans as well.

How would a wild animal dress up as the opposite gender? Aren't both genders of any species of wild animal generally naked?

It can be reduced to behavior, I was being a bit rhetorical. They don't become the other gender, start doing things the other gender does.

I personally would prefer my lover to not have a penis, but I'd also imagine that sexual reassignment surgery looks like an absolute train wreck down there.

I'd suspect the surgery has gotten better over the years, but no matter how skilled the surgeon you can't make 8000 erotogenic nerve endings out of 3500.

Slarti: You clearly know some TS people.

Well what I meant and should have said if I was being careful is that you've read something about it.
