A contradiction in the liberal view of gender

Christ, you just finish what you're doing and get the hell out of here!"

For me, I'm bi, so attracted to both sexes but there is some deep-rooted and hard to define difference in the nature of the attraction according to what gender they were biologically born as; ie if I was in a Crying Game situation... basically the same situation as you just described... it would make a difference, regardless of they looked now. For instance, I've never really wanted to kiss female skin... I get nothing out of it... but I like to kiss male skin. In actuality there's probably no difference whatsoever between male and female skin, but there is this deep-rooted psychological difference of perception, so if I found out that a woman used to be a man, it would make them more attractive to me to kiss, and if a man told me he used to be a woman, it would him less attractive to kiss, because regardless of what they look like now, rightly or wrongly and accurately or inaccurately, those deep-rooted perceptions operate at a lower level than physical appearances.
