[quote]What are your thoughts on people with this gender-sex dissonance?[/quote] I'm not exactly supportive of people getting major surgical alterations because I have the biased idea that people should learn to accept the bodies they were born with. In my mind sex is determined simply by what organs are present, I think 'gender identity' is largely an artificial construct, as for most people I think it is superseded by individual personality. For instance I don't see myself as 'a male' I see myself as me who has a biologically male body. There is just too much variation in body types and personalities for me to see any specific combination as 'correct', but if someone simply cannot live with the body they were given then I guess I don't mind surgery, just advise against it. [quote]Are they normal people?[/quote] Define normal. It's statistically uncommon but it's harmless and doesn't really matter. [quote]Do they have the right to question themselves?[/quote] Everyone has a right to question themselves, but I would prefer that they define themselves as an individual rather than try to fit some predetermined image. [quote]Would you ever date one?[/quote] People can't help what they are attracted to, nor can they help what they find unattractive. If they are attractive to me then yes I would, it they aren't I wouldn't. Simple as that, labels aren't a factor for me. [quote]What would you do if you found out your partner was one after the fact?[/quote] Depends on the situation, how far into the relationship. If they were originally a different sex but went through surgery, I probably wouldn't care if I already am with them. If I was let to believe they were one sex but then later found a 'present' I would not be very happy about it, not because of prejudiced but simply because I find that unattractive, same way I would probably be upset with a 'normal' person who was hiding some highly inciminating or undesirable trait. [quote]What if one of your friends turned out being transgender?[/quote] It's complicated when an intimate relationship is involved, but if they were just friends I see no reason to care.
