    Cool story!

    As I said, anyone can feel as they choose but feeling like a woman does not a biological woman make, or vice versa.

    As I stated in my first post, I have no issue with trans people who feel they were born in the wrong body. Their bodies are their own to do with as they please. My point it not everyone has to be complicit in their feelings. Whether a trans woman feels like a woman or not she will never actually be one. However I don’t in any way shape or form deny her the right to live as a woman if she so pleases.
    Do we really need to be 'complicit' in anyone else's feelings? I'm just not sure why you (and many others) feel the need to hold something back - the old 'not a real woman' or equivalent. Is there some deep discomfort about this that makes you feel obliged to hold something back, or try to make someone else feel just a little bit bad?

    Alright, maybe I need simple language for you so, a transsexual woman who has had the operation is a WOMAN so why would any man balk at that?

    No she isn't. She's a man that's had an operation to look like a woman.

    I could paint myself blue, but I still wouldn't be a smurf.

    An inverted penis is not a vagina. Are you really struggling to understand why a straight man would not want to have sex with a transsexual man?

    You put no initials before what you are? What? Not entirely certain what that means tbh.

    A transsexual woman is not a biological woman. She was born male and every chromosome in her body is still male.

    Well we’ll all stand corrected if in your experience you find your opinion be be correct.

    I’ll defer to the heterosexual men on this thread to rise to the challenge to defy you.

    Okay, so now we know your point of view. You don't believe transsexuals exist.

    That's your point of view. But you are wrong. Scientifically proven.

    That's okay. You're allowed be wrong.

    Because he's a man who's had surgery to take on the crude appearance of a woman.

    All of the above posts believe that transsexual people do not exist.

    Science states that they do.

    But yet we're supposed to agree and like their posts because transsexual people piss us off?

    What the fcuk like?

    No, I really wasn't suggesting phobic. But there does seem to be some need to hold something back. Not some a liking of science and fact, but a liking of telling people that I'm not entirely happy with what they're doing.

    I can’t believe we may have some common ground here Andrew, it’s almost too new for me ;)

    Seriously all cycling jokes aside I genuinely don’t have any issue with how adults conduct themselves, that is absolutely none of my business and not on my patch so not my problem.

    Where I disagree with some here is in the absolute acceptance that a trans person male/female is as completely male/female as their “born” male/female counterparts. It’s not a holding back, or a denial of anyone’s right to live as whatever gender they please.

    Why is it so triggering for you to learn that straight men don't want sex with other men? This is pretty stuff we're talking about here.

    Do people actually realise that suggesting transsexual people don't exist is like suggesting gay people don't exist?

    Are you comfortable with that statement? Or maybe you are?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,681 ✭✭✭bodice ripper


    People are allowed to not want to have sex with someone who is transgender. There are plenty of gay people who do not want to sleep with bisexuals, and that's allowed too.

    Even if the surgeon somehow managed to cobble together a world-class vadge, you still have the butchered chest, Adam's apple, man shoulders, man forearms, man jawline, deeper voice etc to contend with. At best you're talking about a rough simulation of a woman's body.

    lol the left is literally eating itself
    us right wingers can relax and take over every government in europe, and the usa, and brazil

    1488

    Define Left and Right and show me evidence that one is a united front while the other is fragmented and eating itself.
    Spend a little time doing this and ask yourself if the whole Left vs. Right divide isn't just dumbing things down to a point where they no longer reflect reality.

    Where has anyone said that trans people don't exist? Not wanting to have sex with a person who has transitioned is not the same as denying their very existence. Guilting people into sex is not a good look, everyone has a right to say no without being accused of being phobic or a bigot.

    The poster above is denying that transexual men who get operations to become women are the same as women who were born as women (as several posters including myself have contended) - they are not denying that transsexuals exist.

    Now, answer the question please.

    A transsexual who has had the operation is a woman, suggesting that they're not suggests that they don't exist.

    Very simple.

    That is utter idiocy, and patently untrue, as I'm sure you know.

    If I say that a man in a bear suit isn't a bear, it's not denying that bears exist.

    You told a lie, got called on it, and can't back it up. Do the decent thing and admit it.

    So you're comparing a person who has had life changing surgery to someone who sticks on a bear suit?

    You did. You've been asked several times to present posts to back up your claim, and you can't, ergo, you lied.

    *EDIT* I see you are being called out on lies on the Margaret Cash thread right now too. Time for bed methinks.

    They are transsexual women who also have floods of estrogen flowing through their bodies like the born females. And all that entails in its consequences.

    Funny how you and other posters have not mentioned once about transsexual men, known as trans-men, Typical misogyny.

    A man who has 'the operation' is a man without a penis and with breasts through the use of medication. That's it. No more no less.

    Exactly.

    I wouldn’t have any interest in a sexual relationship with a trans man. None, whatsoever. I’m sure there are many women who would and that’s grand, for them.
