[quote]What are your thoughts on people with this gender-sex dissonance?[/quote]I don't care.[quote]Are they normal people?[/quote]Of course.[quote]Do they have the right to question themselves?[/quote]Anyone has the "right" to do pretty much anything they want to do...[quote]Would you ever date one?[/quote]That depends on which direction. If they are SF<GM (sex: female, gender: male. For lack of better terminology), I would only date them if they happened to be sexually attracted to biological males such as myself. If they are SM<GF, I wouldn't under any normal circumstances consider dating them. Not with the intent of having a relationship with one, anyway. I have what's called a [i]sexual[/i] preference. Not a [i]gender[/i] preference. I'd only date those who subscribe to the general characteristics that I am sexually attracted to, and that includes being biologically female, because biological females tend to possess traits that I find alluring. You may mentally be a woman, but to my eyes, you're a man. And I'm sorry, but at no point in my lifetime will technology ever be sufficient enough to make a perfect male-to-female transition, such that I would be okay with having a relationship with you. If that sounds conceited or shallow, well, I guess it kinda is. I just think that relationships [i]have[/i] to have some physical attraction involved.[quote]What would you do if you found out your partner was one after the fact?[/quote]I'd be surprised, but it wouldn't make that much of a difference to me, because she still will have been a woman (biologically). It's been established that I'd only have a relationship with a biological female anyway, so if it turned out that her gender was male, it wouldn't make any difference. Gender is entirely periphery. It would only matter if it so happened that she was no longer sexually attracted to me anymore.[quote]What if one of your friends turned out being transgender?[/quote]Wouldn't give a shit. It would be interesting, because I've never met a transgendered person offline, and I may have a lot more questions, but I wouldn't pay any mind to it beyond some shock.
