Your partner is transgender, and goes through a sex change... What would you do? - General

-snip-

I have absolutely nothing against transsexuals, but I would not be sexually attracted to them any more.

It'd be abit too freaky for me I'm afraid that I would have to end that relationship

All things considered, isn't this thread a "Post yours" rather than a proper Debate thread? This is just a subject that doesn't really have reason for debating as people have personal reasons to act in this situation, based on their opinions which are completely up to them, without the background of being right/wrong.

Well, I'm gay, but if I was heterosexual, and my female partner got a sex change to become a man, then I would leave her. I don't understand how this is intolerant. I'm not saying I would immediately pack my bags, grab my car keys and drive far, far away. I would still stay friends with them and be there for them, but I wouldn't think it would be fair on me to stay in a physical relationship with them. I really don't understand how this is intolerant. Sexuality is a very genuine thing.

Break up. Sure. great for them, I wish them luck on their future endeavours but as a young male I'm not going to maintain a relationship that obviously means less to the partner who randomly decided to get a sex change operation (though in reality it'd probably be discussed) In the hypothetical, married man with kids and such, you've already committed, even if she does get a sex change it is not worth a divorce to the kids (or the bank account, Or all the hassle of buying a new house and shit), though I'd have serious talks about intimacy after that little stunt. (than again once you're 50 it hardly matters) [editline]10th March 2012[/editline] Also: not one sanius post in this thread shitting on anyone, impressive. Perhaps that's just for the news node

I guess I'm a misogynist since I would immediately break up with that person . I wouldn't be an asshole about it, I'd just be honest and tell them that I wouldn't put up with that . I would not become celibate for a lifetime just because I married somebody who eventually came out and told me they were transgender and wanted a sex change . Who the fuck does that . It's disturbing that someone would sacrifice one of the greatest pleasures of life out of "love" and lie to themselves for the sake of their partner .

In fact, that's exactly what the section is. "Post Your" opinion, then state your reasoning.

my girlfriend is already transgender. if she decided to get a sex change operation (which she probably won't, due to various reasons) i would stay with her. i don't care what's between her legs all that much.

I would leave as I don't find people with mental disorders attractive. I'm also not too keen on homosexuality.

I would break up with her as I'm not a homosexual.

It's a no brainer - I would break up. However I don't think I'd be happy about the entire situation.

[QUOTE=Thaard;35069940]I would wish the person good luck and help any way possible. I would call for a divorce/split up though, since It's a pretty drastic change.[/QUOTE] 100% this. Its in my nature to help anyone I really care about but, I wouldn't be able to be intimate with someone who would do that. It would probably mess me up a bit seeing the one I love suddenly turn into a "bro".

I'm pansexual, so it honestly doesn't bother me. I don't understand what turns people off in the first place.

I wouldn't care much really, I'd still stay friends with them. It's their choice to do whatever they want to their body and themselves.

[QUOTE=Irockz;35083259]I'm pansexual, so it honestly doesn't bother me. I don't understand what turns people off in the first place.[/QUOTE] Well, I'm attracted to women. If that woman turns into a man I'm no longer attracted to that person as I'm a heterosexual male and not attracted to men.

whoaoaoaoa wait

"I'd love him/her no matter what" You talk the talk but will you walk the walk?

[QUOTE=Garik;35083661]"I'd love him/her no matter what" You talk the talk but will you walk the walk?[/QUOTE] this. i bet a good three quarters of the people in this thread saying they wouldn't break up would not keep their word if this actually happened to them

celebrate oh and lots of sex

If they tell me about it and had no ill intention and still love me, I don't care. They're my love.

While physical attraction isn't extremely high on my list, I still don't think I could date somebody that was changing their gender. Especially since I'm straight.

I'd at least think about our relationship, my sexuality, and possibly my own gender, a little, but I'd almost certainly break up.

i'd be a little pissed that they kept it from me for that long but i would still love them and still be sexually attracted to them
