How would you react to finding out you were making out with a transsexual?

[bennyboy]

 I feel the first kiss should be the cut-line: I'd want you to tell me before the first kiss, or I would feel that you had violated me.

Y’know what’s funny?  I always told myself that, too.  I always said that was my rule, but, damn, it’s easy to make the rule when you’re in a monogamous relationship and hard to stick to the rule when it’s actually happening.

TaraJo, based on the little tiny thumbnail that I know about you, I'd say two things:
1)  You are an attractive-looking person.
2)  I still think I'd know.
3)  If I were drunk and you weren't and something surprising happened, I'd blame you and be upset with you for taking advantage of me.
4)  If we were both drunk and at a party where I didn't know everyone (say at a night club), then I'd probably be upset that it had happened (no offense, but it would be pretty ewww! for me), but not blame you.

I don't think that many people are really surprised at discovering their date is a male-female trans person.  I think they are "surprised" as in "Officer, I, Bubba the Big Fat Trucker, didn't know I was picking up a transsexual hooker.  First of all, I was just looking for directions.  Is this really West Hollywood?  I totally thought it was Newport Beach. . . and I can't explain why I'm wearing a bra right now, and I don't know whose big black dildos and Ecstasy  those are in my glove compartment!"  Unfortunately, people who are "surprised" like that might go to pretty unpleasant lengths to hide their totally transparent "secret."  I think a lot of those guys are one trigger away from needing a shovel and a giant duffel bag.

TaraJo, whatever individuals might think about coming into contact with you, I selfishly hope for our sake that you'll be sensible and vigilant to danger, because I think it's real.

By, the way I live in Korea, which is known for having one of the first very famous trans performers.  She was #1 on the charts before she came out in a truly epic and shocking fashion.  It was with tremendous mirth that one week all my middle-school boy students were saying how much they were in love with Harisu, and were going to marry her, and had posters of her in a bikini in their lockers, and then the next week she came at them with this:



In her case. . . I'm not 100% sure that I would have known, especially since a lot of Korean women get facial and body surgery anyway.  Not that good a singer IMO, but here she is:
