If i put a R8 body kit and engine upgrades on a TT does that make it an r8?
With the right amount of rework you could make a convincing job on the outside, at least from distance. But once you were inside it you'd probably be able to tell it wasn't quite what you expected. As for the Guides story, I'd hope they have at least some boundaries. It's one thing to be inclusive, it's another thing entirely to let anyone in based on something as vague as 'self-identity' without at least a pretence of going a bit further with their gender identification. They aren't following the Scouts model of just opening up their membership (so properly allowing for multiple genders in their activities) just loosening their definition of 'female' to the point where it basically doesn't exist. Zero scope for that to go wrong!
A lot of wonderful fluffy ideas are floating around at the moment and reality is going to kick in hard sooner or later.

What no symbol for NPN bipolar transistors?That's transphobic that is.

Blood for the blood god!!

To go into a relationship with someone with open eyes knowing they can't have children is one thing. To go into a relationship with one side knowing they can't have children but not admitting to this is wrong IMHO.
I agree with this - but would it be acceptable for a transwoman in a new relationship with her man to only say "I've got something to tell you honey... I can't have kids". Him: "well, that's ok babe I don't want them anyway".... and they live happily ever after? OR... she then slips in a subtle "oh and by the way, I was born with male sex organs and XY chromosomes". It just might be a different outcomeAllTorque said:

It just might be a different outcomeIn a relationship not many of us have told wives all about old girlfriends but we would tell them about anything that would materially affect them. Previous children, difficult drug histories, alcoholism, money worries, and I think gender surgery would be at this level.
I wouldn't expect everyone post gender surgery to inform every casual sex partner they had, but I would expect that to change when it changes to a relationship.

I don't understand the issue from Straight men. 'Used to be a man'. By very definition they are no longer a man then.
Loosely, it's like not sleeping with someone because they used to be a child. Take them for who or what they are now.
And really, the differences between men and women are very small. And I know because I bat for both teams so unlike our armchair experts, I'm a seasoned pro they are the same to kiss, they smell the same. Only real difference is that women's skin is softer.

And beards and penises and boobs (for starters), but other than that you really can't tell them apart.Loosely, it's like not sleeping with someone because they used to be a child. Take them for who or what they are now.

Some of the men I know but haven't had sex with are nothing like women. Biceps, sweat, tattoos, body hair, aggression, poor hygiene...and manners - now you mention it. From your description your taste in men comes down on the more effeminate type.popeyewhite said:
