Nope

I don't judge what people truly think about these matters. I put the option on the poll because I know some people (according to it, quite a lot) believe transsexuality is disgusting. There's some users that openly admit so, and I see no problem in expressing their own opinion. Sure, I would prefer people choosing other options, but hey.

This is probably the most spot-on comment about how I truly feel about this matter.

To me, it's as dispicable as finding a race, religioun, or sexual orientation "disgusting." I can't tolerate intolerance. It feels like listening to Donald Sterling talk, but he at least genuinely believes he's not racist.

Makes sense, but.....does a clone have a spirit? I agree that the naturalistic approach can be ascribed to the way one should live life outside of religion. The question still remains and we are still finding out a lot about ourselves as human beings today. The reason why I use religion is because religion affects a portion of society which is large enough not to be ignored. Once it gets into the fabric society eventually it can go from subculture to actual culture if not kept in check. I also understand that people can believe in spirits without doctrine. Thats no different than an athiest being able to have morality opposed to a large population which wonder how an athiest ever could because they lack religion. Its a cycle, you see.

In real life, the repulsiveness of transsexuality is a quite real and popular thing. Of course, spending  a lot of time in the echochambers and hug boxes online where opposite points of view are silenced and banned will lead one to believe that his/hers opinion is the only valid one. Thats why those people get shocked when they find out there are other opinions out there and that theirs isnt always the right one.

Most of the times that they use child birth as a crutch is because they want a natural person of born of the sex rather than someone who changed their sex based on gender association. They don't want to even think about the option. It will take some years for conservative society to get used to this. Thanks to science, people who identify with the gender role of the opposite sex can change (pending they take drugs to regulate their hormones as well) and it scares a lot of people who understand what they are going through. As a society we have to give it time because people have to accept that at least there is a difference between gender and sex.

Yeah, and in the 18th century, the "repulsiveness of blacks" was quite a real and popular thing. In WW2 Germany, the "repulsiveness of Jews" was quite a real and popular thing. In post-9/11 America, the "repulsiveness of Muslims" was quite a real and popular thing. I'm not saying it's not real, or popular, or part of real life; I'm saying it's gross, intolerant, and unethical.

Naw, I Wouldn't date a Transsexual. I don't find it gross or unethical (I'm totally on the side of the LGBT Movement), I just don't find it personally appealing.

I don't hate dudes, but I wouldn't date a man. Same basic thing.

If it was an MtF trans...I still wouldn't date, because to my mind, you are what you were born with. you can FEEL otherwise all you want, and I'll respect that decision/revelation, but I still wouldn't date. One of the greatest things about a female, in my mind, is the vagina, and it's gotta be real to do all the things I want to do with it.

So yeah. Totally respect those who's Physical and mental/emotional gender do not match, and I admire those willing to make the change, but that doesn't change the fact that I would not find it a pleasant relationship. I just can't do it. I tried being with men before, it doesn't work for me. My body does not allow attraction to males. If they were male, are becoming male, or used to be male, I just can't do it.

So, Wright, as a periodist I can't ask what's your opinion... Would you date one? Or are you more attracted to actually become a trans? Since you have poison in your profile pic. Let us know.
