So, this past weekend, my ex-boyfriend was outed as a transsexual. He's really a woman, but he had transferred to our school and nobody knew the truth; I only found out after I started dating him and he told me (we broke up after that). He's really upset about, because it was, like, a secret and he's afraid of how people will treat him now, poor guy
crying .
But anyway, tell me, LD,
Would you date a transexual?
What would you say if you unknowingly dated a transexual?
Would you still date them or would you break it off?
"He's really a woman" isn't the best thing to say. He was born with a female body is the better way of putting it. But assuming you are using transsexual correctly, he would have had every operation to make his sex and gender match up. Even if he hasn't, he is still a man.
I personally wouldn't care either way since I am pansexual. If he was a nice guy and had a great personality, it wouldn't be any more shocking to me than if I suddenly found out what his favorite color was. But like I said, that's just me. I would also date cis women and men as well. I don't care what parts or lack of parts my partner has.
But not everyone is like that, and it isn't bad to have a preference as long as you aren't prejudiced or rude about it.
