Would you date a transsexual?

No. I voted no, but the disgusting option(and I'm fine with it being included, why censor potential responses?) wasn't specific enough(please don't burn me at the stake until you read my post). I know and work with transsexual people. They don't disgust me in the sense of interacting or to be friends and hang out or even to be in their presence nude or to see them nude(not that I have either). I've seen the nude form before so that isn't an issue for me.

When it comes to sex with transsexual people, I find that disgusting to me. I feel the same way about seeing two men(pro gay rights btw) having sex with each other. If some people don't have the same feeling as me, great! I hope they have a great relationship.

Some people find it disgusting to watch two obese people or two skinny people have sex. Some aren't attracted to short people or tall people. It isn't based off of any bias or hate against transsexual people. It's just not what I'm attracted to at all, regardless of the superficial appearance and I'm allowed to feel that way. Never for a minute from the time I became aware of transsexual people did I have any bias or prejudice against them, but I don't have to be attracted to them. We all have a hang up somewhere and that is simply mine. The only thing I don't agree with is the label of female genitalia. I know what the procedure entails and I can't wrap my head around calling that body structure something else when it has been reformed by surgery.

Again, it's not a political or moral stance, it just doesn't rock my jollies if I know it.

Also, I was adopted(at 13 months) like a previous poster mentioned and I still found it very important to me to pass on my genes. I also plan to adopt and give back some day and we made it up to the eleventh hour on an adoption a few years ago before there was a change of heart by the parent(and she turned out fantastic for her son).

That's fine. I did left the option in the poll as ambiguous as I could (as ambiguous as you can by saying "disgusting"), but it was more of self-interest into knowing how many people would press that option without saying it so in the thread. Nothing wrong with it, I'm not enforcing people to vote + comment, but you know, curious. You raise good points, and I'm not judging people for their answer or they truly stance in this matter, so I'm glad for your contribution.
