I have trouble looking at a picture of a person like that and determining if that is someone I would like to actually date. There is far more to a person than just their headshot. Yes, a pic is able to disguise a lot of stuff. But, you know as well as I do that there really are physical differences between men and women and those physical differences don’t get erased. Like I said, there are other issues, like smells, that play a role. Now I will say this…I can’t possibly imagine myself dating a person who is transgender for a wide range of reasons. But, I also have not been in the position where that would be an issue. And I most likely never will. Maybe, just maybe, if I was single, I might meet someone and I would find myself surprised and take it all back. But, I won’t be in that position given my marital status. So, it’s not something I can test, exactly. Anyway, who knows. All I can say is, based on my own experiences and what I know about what being transgender is, I cannot see myself dating someone who is transgender, and I don’t think it is wrong or bigoted. It would be wrong to say I would never be friends with someone who is transgender or outright reject people who are transgender, because I see no good reason for that. But to take it once step further? I dunno.
