I have a simple question for straight liberal men. If you met a transwoman and you were single... assuming you liked her... would you date her? Let's say you go out and meet someone spending the whole night with them. Great conversation, there is a real connection, you are attracted to her... everything.... but then you find out (or she tells you) that she is trans. Do you date her or does that kill the potential for a romantic relationship?
I am asking our of curiosity of the thinking here for liberal men. As it seems the liberal position is that a transwoman is indeed a woman and should be treated as such when it comes to things like bathrooms, locker rooms, sports etc.
To clear up any potential confusion points that I can think of: I am talking about someone born as a male and then identifies themselves as a woman now. Whether they have had medical treatments or not is not important to me but if it is important to you to answer the question then feel free to explain but if you would date under any circumstances or conditions then the answer to the poll should be an affirmative.
The reason I thought about this is scrolling through Facebook, I came across a Instagram thing which looked like an attractive woman wearing thigh high boots with long heels and a Jordan jersey that came down to act like a short dress on a basketball court doing a fade away jump shot. I was curious if this was a WNBA or college player and went into the profile. There were many posts and many were basketball themed in skimpy and/or tight clothing. I saw one post as I scrolled through that had writing of "that is a man" which obviously got my attention and I clicked on it (the only other video I watched other then the original) and in it she shows a few pictures of her in childhood (as a boy) and then some now (as a woman). Looking closely, you could tell (adams apple) but other than that, she looks like an attractive woman. I went back to the original post I saw and looked through the comments and there were tons of comments of men saying how hot she was etc which you normally see on posts like those with attractive women. My reaction was that I was a little grossed out that I thought she was attractive when I found out she was trans. My guess is that many (majority) of those comments were from straight guys that did not know they were making those comments about a transwoman. I wondered how they would react if they found out. Then that wondering lead me to the question above as I think many liberals these days hold the position that a transwoman is a woman and must be treated as such.... but does that mean for even a personal relationship? I am pretty confident most (nearly all?) conservative minded straight men would vote that they would not date a transwoman. I have no idea what the thinking process of a liberal is on this. I am guessing most gay men would most likely not be attracted to a transwoman and most bi-sexual oriented individuals it would not matter being they are attracted to both.
I am not trying to make a point or want to debate or fight anyone, I am just curious as to what the thinking process is for a straight liberal man on this.
