If you're that emotionally fragile then you should be very careful who you sleep with. Ask someone "Have you always been a woman?" before you sleep with them.

Why are transsexuals so emotionally fragile they cannot be honest? Why are they so emotionally fragile they cannot use the men's bathroom? Why are they so emotionally fragile they keep offing themselves? Maybe people take regard their sexuality as being very important to themselves.

I don't consider myself as being likely to be deceived by a tranny as I steer clear of ugly girls. My concern is for other men and women, who are being sexually assaulted as a result of the nefarious deceptions of transsexuals.

Should it be on the trans person to bring it up, or should someone who is going to feel "deceived" actively ask?

It should absolutely be the responsibility of the transsexual to bring it up.

I agree, but for someone as worried about being deceived as some posters in this thread, there's nothing to stop them actively asking.

Why offend the majority of the population for the sake of a trivial number of people?

That's not the point. If your perceived masculinity is in that fragile a state, wouldn't you prefer to know beforehand, so you can remove yourself away from a situation that you would rather not be in?

Masculinity? This is about sexuality, not masculinity. Women are in the exact same position.

This attempt to make it look like we're not masculine for not wanting to bang a tranny is laughable. No masculine man would want to bang a tranny, period.

Question: Are you married?

Is there sense of self so fragile that they can't be up front about who they are as a person? Being trans is a huge part of a person's life.

It is their duty to make people aware of this in such a situation, and it's utterly broken that you're so against it.

That's a very personal question that has nothing at all to do with you.

I choose to answer it, and the answer is, no I'm not.

Are you married?

You know that there are ultra masculine gay men, right? They're not all fairies, incidentally, not all fairies are even gay.

You opened the door to personal questions by asking one yourself. And as I assume the only reason you'd ask my marital status is to make a move on me, I thought I best check your sex first as per your advice. Not that I'm interested.

I have a husband though, yes.

No, there aren't. Your mileage may vary on that however.

Your views on gay marriage make me think that you're telling porkies there, mister.

I'll rephrase: do you have a wife?

"Deception" as you perceive it, happens very very rarely. Tarring every trans person by the same brush doesn't help anyone.

As I said before, which you conveniently declined to repy to, by extension of your logic, you are a remorseless rapist because of Ched Evans, right.

Is there an ongoing discussion within the footballing community, about whether rape should be OK or not?

Because if there isn't, the two don't issues don't seem to be comparable.

Then we're both liars!

Yes, I do.

Maybe Thompson is a woman...or becoming one...

There's been an ongoing 'discussion' within the community for a long time about the validity of Mr Evans' behaviour, conviction and his genuine lack of remorse for the crime he committed.

If, in your opinion, all trans people by default are deceitful sexual predators because of perceived deception, then all white cis men must be remorseless rapists, right.

When was the last time you looked at her genotype?

So why do trans people get beaten up and killed simply for walking down the street minding their own business?

Because the people doing that have issues. It's like saying rapists only rape people because they're uneducated on it being wrong.

Can you not see how the 'it's a man in a dress' attitude perpetuates and legitimises that violence in the eyes of those who wish to participate in it?

You think she might be a tranny?

I've never heard it called that before.

I'm not saying that at all.

Do you know what her genotype is? That's all I'm asking.
