    I go with the "if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, I'd be happy enough to ride it like a duck" :D

    That being said, I have yet to ride a duck - but I'd have no discernible objection to doing so. Problem is though, most I've seen, just look like blokes in dresses.

    I look on it as much the same as any other change - several times I have been completely indifferent to a womans appearance only for her to go and dye her hair red and my jaw to hit the floor. It doesn't matter that she used to be a so-so blonde, she's not anymore, she's now a sexy redhead.

    Same thing (albeit admittedly a lot more extreme) - it doesn't matter to me if she used to be a bloke - she's not now and that's good enough for me.

    10 posts ? Yeah stench getting stronger. Ignore time.

    Am I attracted to a man who's used surgery and hormone treatment to take on the crude approximation of a woman?

    No.

    Have to agree with P1 here. Everyone is on the spectrum it's why were seeing it manifest itself in the younger generation with more bi/pan-sexual people. Older generations, including mine, had a huge element of social condidtioning convincing them they were 100% straight or latterly 100% gay. People can move on spectrum ans there's not only one spectrum. Frankly everyone is different and it's whatever you're comfortable with. If you're 100% straight then good on you, however the need to assert that, quite forcefully by some would lead me to question how much is nature and how much is nurture.

    The rainbow is a spectrum, but for all intents and purposes, red is still red.

    I dont think anyone is denying that there is a spectrum of sexualty. Its P1's asserion that nobody is 100% straight that people take issue with.

    As with all these things, its easier to understand why people are annoyed by the suggestion when you flip it on its head. If someone were to say that they dont think that anyone could really be 100% gay, people would rightly find it offensive.

    The rule which we have all implictly agreed on, as a society, is that you respect other peoples stated sexuality.


    If you do flip that on it's head you get the prevailing attitude of some in the gay community around 20-30 years ago. "You can't be bi you're simply confused". The social conditioning and agreed rules have lead to many cases of gay men either getting married to women or, it seems, joining the preisthood.


    While I agree that there are people 100% in either direction as I said before how much of that is nature, how much is nurture? Does social conditioning on a massive scale actually change someone from Bi to straight or is it more likely all it does is shift someone down the spectrum and as P1 has said means the prevalence of 100% straight is not as common as people would like to believe.


    You only need to look at history to see social conditioning the other was and suddenly you've got homosexual sex going on just as normally or perhaps even more normally than hetrosexual sex.


    Apologies for spelling, my spell checker seems to be on holiday.

    Is it? Or does red contain many different wavelengths of red light some closer to other colours?

    We'll see that's the thing. If you're attracted to her before you know, you're still attracted to a trans woman. Them's the facts.

    I've been with a lot of women who looked a damn sight less womanly than that.....but each and every one of them had one thing in common - a fanny. I insist on very little, but what I do insist on - I insist on!

    But this makes me "transphobic" apparently.

    As per above, I'm more of a fanny fan - I've yet to see a chromosome and think phwoar :D

    What if it looks like a lady duck and quacks like a lady duck but still has a penis ?


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 36,394 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    Too many uses of that - do you hate transgender people and wish them harm ? You don't seem to.

    When did we have to force ourselves to fancy someone we may not, just to tick a box ?

    Mind you, i was called a racist when I said I didn't fancy dark skinned men like Idris Elba. FFS!

    Lies, everyone fancies Idris Elba! :D

    If it has a penis it's a poor likeness of a lady duck!

    I'm quite honestly totally baffled by the people here actually give a shíte about people who refer to themselves as Trans or anything else.

    Why care? They're not harming anyone at all.

    On-topic. I'm more than sure that quite a few men on here have looked at a trans women, thought she was gorgeous and never noticed. Fun fact, on Reddit's /r/prettygirls you'll often find that it's trans women being posted and the commentators and upvoters never notice.

    Funny you get people who wade into any topic and state that they have "no idea what the issue is" or "can't understand at all why someone might think x"

    Trying so hard to display thier virtue.

    Yep.

    Someone telling a gay man that they are a transphobic bigot because he doesn't fancy a woman with boobs and everything - that's nuts. Pun intended.

    Well, I'm not a hetero man, I'm a bi-sexual woman. I've found trans men attractive before, and trans women. Well, people I've seen online or in the media, I don't know anyone that is trans in real life. For me though, I wouldn't want to engage in sex with someone unless they'd had the full sex change. I might be bi but I like my boobs to be paired with a vagina! I also like my willies not to be accompanied by boobs. Hmmm, then again women with strap ons are sexy.....I might have to get back to ye on this one :p

    I get your point. It's all or nothing as far as I'm concerned. Take the "lady" below.

    Attractive? Undoubtedly yes.
    Interested? Not in the slightest.

    Also - I don't know what it is exactly, but I find strap ons slightly creepy:eek:

    Lots of people (less now than there used to be) would have a problem with “her girlfriend”. Wouldn’t make sense to them. Only men should have girlfriends.

    Oh go away.

    I'm sitting looking at a colleague talking on the phone to her wife.

    Stop accusing everyone you see of "..... phobia" - insert phrase du jour.

    A person born a man can be transformed to look like an aesthetically attractive female. Just like someone could look at a hyper realistic drawing or waxwork of a woman and find the subject aesthetically attractive, it doesn’t make them attracted to paper and pencil or wax.

    I've a mate with a list of people he can cheat on his wife with (she has same, before the feminist crowd weigh in!)

    Atop this list is one Jessica Rabbit. The heart wants what the heart wants!

    What happens when it's a phobia of phobias?!

    I don't find trans women attractive...(Boards doesn't have access to your internet history right :P)

    Well the argument my pal got into started to have a gay man called transphobic and his husband reply that the other person was homophobic, so I'd say a complete mess!

    I blame these idiots and their 51 bloody genders, made up nonsense!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 710 ✭✭✭ginandtonicsky


    What's funny about this PC new world we're living in is that people's sexual preferences don't tend to play ball. You can't police what people are sexually attracted to because it's largely out of everyone's control.

    Sexual preferences can be racist, sexist and bigoted a lot of the time. I'm mostly attracted to straight white men, not trans Asian men, for example, and there's not a single fcuking thing I can do about that. That's not to say I don't find Denzel Washington attractive mind you (droool), but about 90% of the time I'm going to naturally gravitate towards the white straight dude in the room over most other guys.

    so you're trysexual?

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer
