Do you mean gender or sex?
I'm confused.

I think you mean sex, but you said gender...

It's really not that big of a slip-up. When they ask you for your gender on paperwork, they mean your sex. The words are synonymous on an official level. Mechanically the words mean the same thing.

Quote:

So, all you straight people, does it matter if the person you are with in a romantic relationship has the genitals of the opposite gender?

It's not like I have a checklist, I just don't like dudes. There is not even a flicker of interest, it's all taken care of subconsciously.

Just for the sake of the person who made that claim. What if the dude had a really great personality and was just like a woman only had a p***s? What if your girlfriend woke up in the morning without a v****a and breasts and had a d**k? Would you dump her, or would you get down and suck some d**k?

According to certain people it should not matter to you.

No. Genitals do not matter to me. I don't think about them even; I don't think I ever have been attracted to someone's genitals.

Why does everyone feel the need to make a stupid thread about a stupid question a stupid gaian asked?

Well, some genitals are pretty nice folks, but then you have genitals like mine which apparently are racist.

Let them ask for themselves. I don't do questionnaires for the sake of disproving someone who isn't even here.

No they don't.
I should know. I make those forms that people fill out and when I say gender I mean gender and when I say sex I mean sex.

Sex is biological. XX, XY, XYY, etc.
Gender is psychological. Male, Female, neuter, bigender, etc.

It's not the same thing. A person can be an XX male or an XY female.

The dictionary disagrees.

The American Psychiatric Association disagrees and I'm inclined to go with the more advanced source. The dictionary supplies only the most basic explanation of word usage.

According to a certain gaia member in another thread

Not to be too much of an attention whore, but I think she's referring to me.

This is true, but namedropping is bannable so I was hoping you would come.

You just made the claim that you know a homosexual guy who has a female partner and likes it. Now to many people that would be a bisexual person, but to you the fact that he likes women does not matter and he can make up whatever definition he wants and pretend to be homosexual.

Quote:

I am wrong in the idea that the genitals of the people out there do not matter when you are deciding to get funky with them.

Actually, I agree, they do matter, from time to time, and from person to person. Some don't put much importance in them, and some put a lot in there. This isn't bad or good, it's just the way things are.

If it doesn't matter then those people would be bisexual or perhaps asexual. This is the main factor in being straight or homosexual. It is that the genitals matter. You are either unattracted to people of your gender or you are actually turned off by those people.

Gho the Girl

Quote:

So, all you straight people, does it matter if the person you are with in a romantic relationship has the genitals of the opposite gender?

For some, it does, and for others, it doesn't. Some straight men have been with non-op transwomen and they are perfectly happy.

Those are a minority. Seriously, I could look as fabulous as a woman as possible and if I pull down my skirt and there is a d**k it is crying game time for at least 90% of men. Like I have told you, if you think I am wrong take your claims into the real world and dress as the opposite gender and hit a straight bar and start hitting on straight people. Just do not come to me for your hospital bills.

Quote:

For the homosexuals, does it matter if the person you are romantic with has the same genitals as you?

When I identified as homosexual, I had a relationship with a transman, and I must say, I did mind his v****a at first, but soon came to be completely comfortable with it.

You are a case study and that pretty much doesn't fly in any psychological study. You may be an anomoly, and probably are. You are going to need a little more than that. I will get back to you on my little impromptu question on whether or not you are an oddity or the majority.

Gho the Girl

But then again, seeing as I now identify as queer, I'm not such a good reference for the general homosexual trend, however, I have heard that other gay people have and enjoy relations with people with non-matching genitals.

I have heard some people claim that a guy who sucks d**k and likes it can somehow be straight. It doesn't make it so.

Gho the Girl

Quote:

I would ask the bisexuals, but it would seem logical the answer is no though you may have a preference.

My claim is that if you are straight or homosexual that it matters to you in a romantic relationship the gender of the person you will potentially be involved with. Please feel free to tell me if I am wrong or right.

You're right.

Now would you like to go back and read the posts I actually made?

You should know better than to backpedal with me.

Maybe the uneducated population. Everyone past their freshman year at my college understands that sex and gender are not the same thing. The words are not considered interchangeable in the academic setting.
