Quote:Dude, she is fully aware of the penis. Believe me, she knows it's there and she knows what the reaction would be. I think she wouldn't go into sex with someone without filling them in first. There might be transgendered people out there who wouldn't, but it's not because they're transgendered, but that they're dishonest.IF a transgender woman is fully and completely to be considered a woman, then why would there need to be any disclosure? The reality is that this is a man who is taking steps to be more womanly, but will never be one in the way that other women are, because of the physical reality of her situation.
Hardly any transwomen are going to be throwing themselves onto you. Your fears are completely irrational. Youre talking about probably 1-2% of the worlds population who are trans, and within that minority its a minority again who would do this shit.
And you're saying all this under some narcissistic assumption these women are interested in you. I'm sure you're not Chris Hemsworth. It's the same as these straight guys who think all gays are interested in them. It's narcissistic.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
