I have no problem with transgender women, let them be who they want to be. Would I shag a post-op transgender woman? I don't think I would. I don't know what this article is implying. Are they saying it's wrong to not want to get intimate with a transgender woman?

Anyway, discuss

Tbh, I don't care who is what, I don't really like having it rubbed in my face tho - mainly because I can't be arsed with people making a song and dance i.e black, blue, straight, gay etc. I'm not bothered.

I'd be fuming if I slept with a "woman" then found out it wasn't really one laugh

The problem is that straight males are attracted to females. You can dress them up and chop bits off but they are still men despite what they identify themselves as.

Bruce Jenner is still Bruce Jenner.

I have fallen foul of this, a few beers in and bagged off only to wake up next to what I can only describe as a pig.

I made a very quiet exit I can tell you.

yes

Dingo ugly. When dingoes are caught in traps, they'll chew thier own leg off to escape. In a similar vein, occasionally one's waking partner is so hideous that you'll willingly forgo having two arms for the rest of your life in order to make a clean escape...

I suppose people are entitled to do what they want with their own bodies, but if they are to become intimate with someone else then I think they should be legally required to advise the other person they weren't born this way.

Sleeping with a ten-pinter is not really comparable to banging something that used to be an actual bloke.

yes

I don't think straight men not wanting to shag other men who have for their own reasons decided that they want to be women means they are afraid of them, anymore than gay men who don't want to sleep with women are afraid of women!

What difference does it make? A human is a human. They have the same organs bar one or two. The only differences as far as I can tell is that men tend to be hairier and have coarser skin and some sex organs...which the gender reassignment 'fixes'. Therefore equal?

If you thought you were buying a Ferrari and then found out it was an MR2 in a wig wouldn't you feel a tad aggrieved?

Totally agree. Waking up with a pig is one thing, summat born a bloke is in another universe.

not really equal.

There is 2% difference in the DNA of a human male and a chimp male, like wise there is a 2% difference in the DNA of a female human and a female chimp.

Interestingly there is a 2% difference in the DNA of a male human and a female human.

Human men are as different from human women are as we are different to chimps.

I have no issue at all with transgender. What I do have issue with though is that militant LGBT(Q) quasi-organisation that claims to represent the interests of what are IMO four (five) perfectly legitimate but disparate groups of people with precious little in common sexually.

A male-to-female transgendered person who has always and will always fancy men is heterosexual AFAIC.

Gender is physicality, sexuality is preference. Neither should be an identity.

They did an f'in good job on my gaffer if he used to be a woman, trust me - the Kardashian clan will be wanting the surgeons number for their next round of whatever it is they do to themselves if he can pull that off.

Was this your defence when you were caught in bed with a chimp?

No there isn't.

Both males and females possess the X chromosome, females have two copies. In females, only one is 'switched on' in each cell.

Males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is quite small, contains 78 genes, and basically doesn't do a lot except instruct the body to grow a penis. In terms of the amount it contributes to the overall genome, it's about 0.3%. The X chromosome is much larger.

So there is actually a very small difference in the DNA of a male human and a female human
