Question for the heterosexual men of AF

[ignoramus]

The idea of a penis....lol.  Somebody tell me how that's not phantom peen? 

I think she's talking about God?
you know, that giant prick in the sky who doesn't really exist!

I’ve seen it recorded live. I don’t know why I watch these things. The other day, we watched the autopsy of an obese person from start to finish. Weird.

I used to work in a hospital. One day the mortician came round and asked if anyone wanted to see what he did, I said no.
The girl that went along wasn't right for about a week. 
I don't think they'd let you just go along, these days.

I'm struggling to see the point, or perhaps rather the benefit of this thread. When it comes to attractiveness and deal breakers the lines are always all over the map with plenty of individuals falling on each side of every line.

You can frame this same question in dozens of different ways and you'll always come away with same collection of responses. Lets say the question was you became attracted to someone online and had not met nor seen their picture. Then once you met, you found out they were [insert race], would now be less attracted to them yada yada yada.... Or you were attracted to someone you're dating and then you found out they were a [insert political party]..... Or you were attracted to someone and you found out they were [vegan or carnivore or smoker or drinker or recreational drug user or bisexual or rude to wait staff or Nascar fan or Star Trek fan or had a cat or didn't have a cat or any of a thousand other things a person can be] and the responses would still be the same with some saying it wouldn't matter to them and others saying it would.

So what have we learned here that we didn't already know?

I haven't yet been able to wrap my brain around the need to surgically remove perfectly healthy body parts. I am open to understanding. I just don't yet . If I fell in love with a woman with a penis, the parts wouldn't matter. I mean totally head over hills in love. The sexual attraction might not be there but then again it might. I've never been in the situation. I certainly wouldn't judge anyone for those types of decisions. We all go through stuff...we all deal with it somehow...and...we move on. Would it be a deal breaker ? I honestly don't know.

There was a case where a woman with perfectly healthy legs were psychologically so uncomfortable with her legs that she repeated attempted to get doctors to amputate them for her. When she could not find any doctor who would consent to amputating perfectly healthy legs, she purchased bagged dry ice from an industrial supply store, plunged her legs into the bagged dry ice, kept it there for several hours so they were literally frozen solid completely through, so they doctors had no choice but to amputate the now completely necrotic legs.

This thread is about nothing more than differing definitions of the term transphobic.

If not wanting to screw a chick who used to have a dick means I'm transphobic to some people, then...OK. Whatever. Don't care.

Holy crap, that's awful...

I was the one who proposed consciouness transfer but most ignored it because lets just defend our self-esteem and not have a healty conversation.
The information argument seems pointless to me, information doesn't have a lot of power over your feelings in most cases, most of the time social stigma is what makes us doubt our actions.

Well that will be a good idea just as soon as the transfer of consciousness means anything away from a Star Trek set.

It would not be a deal breaker for me in the slightest. I wouldn't even blink. Perhaps I'd worry how some family or friends would judge me but then I'd think "fuck them they're bigoted idiots if they judge me."

If I'm attracted to someone's mind and body, then I'm attracted to their mind and body. Discovering after the fact that their chromosomes are different to I initially thought is about as relevant as discovering that the Slovak word for "apple" is "jablko".

I don't even think a trans person should have to tell the other person that they're trans. Why would it or should it matter?

Now I would certainly be against anyone to lie about it and say they're not trans if they are... but that's just because I'm against lying in general. I am not against irrelevant secrets that are nobody else's business.

If I were trans myself and I didn't want to tell anybody... I wouldn't.

LOL Do you even read what you type before you hit Post, or are contradictions simply beyond your ability to understand?

A deception of that magnitude is likely the basis of, or at least connected to, even more instances of deceit. I know a couple of compulsive liars and maintain friendly but arms-length relationships with them. I would likely respond in much the same manner to your hypothetical.
