Re: Would you date a transexual?
You also seem to still believe 'Gender' and 'Sex' are interchangeable terms. They aren't. Gender is NOT genetically defined, it is socially defined. What we consider to be masculine in this day in age is not what the ancient Greeks considered to be masculine. Nor is it what the Romans considered masculine, or the what vikings considered masculine, or what the Spanish considered masculine, or Apaches considered masculine.

Re: Would you date a transexual?
No. Either born as Hermaphrodite or any talk of changing/choosing sex is mumbo jumbo.
It will be seen that, as used, the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley's broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else.

Re: Would you date a transexual?
No one is talking about changing sex. You just seem to be in denial that sex=/=gender.

Re: Would you date a transexual?
What you are talking about? i think you dont know what Gender means...lolYou're the one cussing, dramatizing and etc because I don't acknowledge transsexuals as a real gender change, or that transgender is a real gender.
Real gender/sex change would only be possible in old school way if said person was born as a legit Hermaphrodite. Then that would make case for real debate on biological standpoint. And that's it. Sorry if my opinion triggered you hard, but I had a few biology classes for something.
That is what you seemed to belive, but you have been showing ignorance in the matter.No. Either born as Hermaphrodite or any talk of changing/choosing sex is mumbo jumbo.
Actualy it is both. It just doesnt resume it self to a biological nature only, but every characteristics related to the issue, and context of course. Socialy, morphologicaly, and yes biologicaly too. In this particular case, biologicaly it is not a factor, but everything else is.You also seem to still believe 'Gender' and 'Sex' are interchangeable terms. They aren't. Gender is NOT genetically defined, it is socially defined.

Re: Would you date a transexual?
Not only is sex not equal to gender, for gender is dynamic by anthropology within cultures, locations, and varies by time, but sexual orientation doesn't equal gender either. If confused, take some classes and open some psychology books.
At least consider a model of a long continuum, not a binary choice, for all of those categories, and coupled with masculine to feminine along that continuum.

I am aware. Being transgender has to do with gender identity, though, not sexual orientation.Not only is sex not equal to gender, for gender is dynamic by anthropology within cultures, locations, and varies by time, but sexual orientation doesn't equal gender either.

Re: Would you date a transexual?
Being transgendered can be both/and along the psychological maturation process of the patient. It is incredibly complex. Not to mention some transexuals in prior pre-op relationships who attempt to maintain that. I know of a case where the patient attempted to reverse the change due to reticence and guilt from their children.
A person born a man, got married, loved their wife, had a sex change, stayed married, etc. It can be remarkably different say if a child or a teenager who's developing sexual identity.
That situation is enormously demanding on spouses who are heterosexual but supposed to essentially become bisexual.
This is why it takes a unique individual to marry them, and why it's cruel to not seriously meditate upon entering that relationship...for breakups are devastating to them. That's the source of suicidal ideation in transexuals and why persistent trust issues arise.

Re: Would you date a transexual?
It is complex, but what counts somebody as being 'transgender' is their gender identity does not match their sex; sexual orientation itself doesn't have implication on whether someone is transgender or not. What is the point of your anecdote?

Re: Would you date a transexual?
First, I'm trying to clarify some nonsense fkizz spouted off.
Second, even when people think they've got a handle on a complex medical issue like being transexual, it's not uncommon for complicated confusing sexual experimentation to occur while the patient attempts to cope. They've got new anatomical equipment, try to maintain prior relationships, attempt new ones, and this can be with either males or females. It's largely about acceptance, stability, economic security, and hopefully love.

Don't we usually disagree? I'm going to get in trouble with my Liberal reptilian masters if I keep this up.Not only is sex not equal to gender, for gender is dynamic by anthropology within cultures, locations, and varies by time, but sexual orientation doesn't equal gender either.

That's a very helpful model. you can have several bundled continua, not exactly intersecting but giving multiple axes to sexual/gendered/physical/evolutionary/performative identity. The simple binaries inherent in historical feminism are as binding as perceived historical "patriarchy" in many ways, albeit less brutally and thoroughly enforced.
A lot of people get crushed in the machinery of simple black/white conceptual models.

Nietzsche Dionysian/Apollonian and Gender
https://books.google.com/books?id=Zv...gender&f=false
Or this from a feminist anthropologist
That's part of a paradigm for what we're discussing and gender studies.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollonian_and_Dionysian
This explains multiple phenomena like situational homosexuality in prisons, fops or dandys in European history, Japanese samurai homosexuals, Spartan homosexuals, and none alike. Smilarly the wide breadth of bisexuality and lesbianism too.Paglia's usage
American humanities scholar Camille Paglia writes about the Apollonian and Dionysian in her controversial 1990 bestseller Sexual Personae.[7] The broad outline of her concept is borrowed from Nietzsche, an admitted influence, although Paglia's ideas diverge significantly.
The Apollonian and Dionysian concepts comprise a dichotomy that serves as the basis of Paglia's theory of art and culture. For Paglia, the Apollonian is light and structured while the Dionysian is dark and chthonic (she prefers Chthonic to Dionysian throughout the book, arguing that the latter concept has become all but synonymous with hedonism and is inadequate for her purposes, declaring that "the Dionysian is no picnic."). The Chthonic is associated with females, wild/chaotic nature, and unconstrained sex/procreation. In contrast, the Apollonian is associated with males, clarity, celibacy and/or homosexuality, rationality/reason, and solidity, along with the goal of oriented progress: "Everything great in western civilization comes from struggle against our origins."[8]
She argues that there is a biological basis to the Apollonian/Dionysian dichotomy, writing: "The quarrel between Apollo and Dionysus is the quarrel between the higher cortex and the older limbic and reptilian brains."[9] Moreover, Paglia attributes all the progress of human civilization to masculinity revolting against the Chthonic forces of nature, and turning instead to the Apollonian trait of ordered creation. The Dionysian is a force of chaos and destruction, which is the overpowering and alluring chaotic state of wild nature. Rejection of – or combat with – Chthonianism by socially constructed Apollonian virtues accounts for the historical dominance of men (including asexual and homosexual men; and childless and/or lesbian-leaning women) in science, literature, arts, technology and politics. As an example, Paglia states: "The male orientation of classical Athens was inseparable from its genius. Athens became great not despite but because of its misogyny."[10]
In the teen development of sexual identity, it's not uncommon to meet such a strong compelling mentor of the same sex that one has a crush on them specifically and no other person of the same sex. That fits on a continuum, isn't binary, and why mentors develop strong boundaries to protect an obsequious youth.

A biological sex-change: well yes. Current technology cannot change biological sex.Real gender/sex change would only be possible in old school way if said person was born as a legit Hermaphrodite.
But gender re-assignment surgery is quite different, gender is a cultural construct and is subject to the whims of that culture. A component, or rather a rapidly growing component of our culture supports the ability for individuals to redefine themselves.
That's nice.Then that would make case for real debate on biological standpoint. And that's it. Sorry if my opinion triggered you hard, but I had a few biology classes for something.

Well I do agree that efeminate males and masculine females exist, but it's a matter of time before "I was born with the wrong sex, trapped in the wrong body" starts appearing.
The definition of Gender starts getting used as a gateway to justify "sex changing operations".
That's why there's some mistrust and sex/gender gets to be seen as a wordplay by some in several cases. Current surgeries can't change the sex they were born with biologically, they can only give illusion it's more female or male.
The DNA is the same, the Chromosomes are the same. Ironic the modern left has so much hate for the double helix, while it gets propaganda that it bothers religious people instead.

Re: Would you date a transexual?
And when examining chromosomes to determine whether someone is a potential date or not becomes a thing, then we can start worrying about not being able to change them. Sexual attraction is based on phenotype, not genotype.

Good, so we agree that there's no problem.
So? It's their body, they can do what they want with it.The definition of Gender starts getting used as a gateway to justify "sex changing operations".
We have established that the only people who think biological sex can be changed are crazy fringe group fanatics. The left's equivalent of Neo-Nazis.That's why there's some mistrust and sex/gender gets to be seen as a wordplay by some in several cases.

The double helix bothers the extreme right and the extreme left. That's perfect for my purposes.Ironic the modern left has so much hate for the double helix, while it gets propaganda that it bothers religious people instead.
The old notion of left versus right doesn't really apply any more, the current struggle is between authoritarians (who are both left and right) and libertarians (who are both left and right).
