    a post-op transsexual as their new gender? This is following on from the previous threads on similar topics where some people have strong views on the tpic. I personally could never as a straight male knowingly date a male-to-female transsexual, and I assume that would be the same for most people. Indeed if I found out "at the end of the night" the truth about one of these people I would feel I had been tricked/conned.

    So boards being home of the open-minded it seems, would you ever consider a romantic relationship with a transsexual?

    I've seen the IT Crowd. I know how it ends.

    I have nothing against people dating them, but I wouldn't want to personally as I think I want to have kids at some stage and a post-op transexual wouldn't be able to provide that in a relationship.

    Yeah I would. Only sticking point would be having kids.

    I consider myself very liberal and open-minded but if I'm being honest I don't think I'd be comfortable dating a post-op. I mean each to his/her own but I would find any sort of relationship would be very difficult psychologically on my part. If you want a concrete answer as to why it's one of the few things I can't really articulate my reasoning for other than to say that's just how I feel.

    With hormone and genital reconstruction surgery it could possibly be very difficult to tell, especially for someone who might not be that experienced. Would you consider someone not being immediately forthcoming about their transsexuality being dishonest? I know I would.

    It was a bit of a sticking point for Hayley & Roy for a while, but it all worked out fine in the end.

    It is private medical history so most would not discuss it on a first date, some may never release that information and then some may only inform their lover if the relationship became serious. :)

    It wouldn't bother me too much, I would have handups about it but I know a sure fire way to switch my brain off to compensate.;)

    Nope.

    You'd still dating a dude no matter what he believes about himself or what he's done to his old chap.

    Nope.

    yes, I would

    some of the most beautiful, attractive women I've seen happen to be transgender

    I bet even the OP's jaw would drop at the sight of someone like Jamie Clayton, or any other beautiful transwoman

    Well its hardly going to bother you considering (I gather) you're a pre-op transsexual. I would be more surprised if it did bother you.

    What would be more interesting to know is that post-op would you withhold information regarding your transsexuality from a romantic partner. If so how long would you withhold it and why?
