Are men afraid of transgender women?

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

My only issue is with the male to females; more often than not they really don't know how to dress, they look like they got dressed in the dark, I'm sure there must be advisers they can hire to help them look better!

Idea for Gok Wan's new show?

I haven't had a chance to read the journal yet, it's quite long and I do have to pretend I do work sometimes... But, I feel compelled to ask - what if a white child "feels stress" about not being a black child? How do doctors treat that?

Well the opposite, supposedly, happened to Michael Jackson, no?

Obviously most straight guys wouldn't dream of banging a "chick with a dick," but we're talking about post-op transexuals. They may look female down there, but it wouldn't work in the same way during intercourse

No? How so?

Apologies that I might have sounded ignorant. I appreciate that a trans-woman can still experience sexual pleasure "down there," but what I'm referring to is the fact they cannot get moist, surely? (Sorry for vulgarity).

I feel PH'ers have missed the point of my OP; that the article implies that it's wrong for a straight, cis-male to be uncomfortable with the idea of having sex with a trans-female.

Thanks for explaining. I have skim read the article. I'm pretty squeamish. So I don't know.

It doesn't really say anything about the actual procedure, but just the psychological aspects of the issue; that trans-people feel alienated because no cis person wants to have sex with them, and apparently that should be frowned upon

Whats wrong with that?

Surely she either wants a penis or she doesn't - why wait a moment longer than is necessary to make the full transition?

If you read the article, you'll know she says she hates having a penis and is only keeping it so she can have kids with her girlfriend however, as someone pointed out, won't the hormone treatment mess things up in terms of fertility?

Police swap helmets for caps to attract more transgender officers

telegraph said:

"Having to choose gender-based headgear is a barrier to the non-binary transgender community joining the police service. By introducing this new hat we provide a single protective hat to all police officers, Special Constables and PCSOs for general duties."

The new “Bump Caps” – essentially baseball caps with a reinforced internal frame – began being introduced yesterday and will completely replace the more traditional custodian and bowler hats by June 9.

It is the third force to adopt the new headgear following successful launches in Cheshire and Lancashire.

But what if a pregnant woman needs a piss?
