I think most ppl assume that their significant other is a cis male/female. (Cis meaning that they were born that way) But I think a transgendered person or a person who has had sex change surgery feel distressed revealing their natural gender identity. By sayin, "I was born a man but now I'm a woman," brings up a pained history they are trying to rid themselves of. One could argue - it's the past and you don't need to know it.
Pretty sure in a few states if a transgender person has romantic relations with a person without telling them that they are in fact transgender, it is considered the "r" word crime that is censored here in forums.
Should they disclose their original sex before entering a relationship?.... What are relationships built on? Trust. How is trust built? By being honest about who you are with the person you have deep feelings for. As much as it sucks and seems unfair.. Its also unfair for the other party to not know.
I hear what ur saying - but does everyone really fully disclose everything? Most things come up as a relationship progresses
You are right, and those things can carry the weight to end a relationship themselves. As of now, i think it would be in the best interest of a transgender to be up front about it. People are passionate and crazy.. At the same time... Someone who would have a hard time excepting this could really lose it and.. Who knows..
I personally feel that the other person should defiinitely know about it. Remember Alan from Two and a Half Men when he was with Paula who used to be Paul?
Nathan that's a common misconception and you may want to check your xy debate. We start XX part of the chromosome breaks off leaving it as a Y and hence we become male. Nature is a confusing issue at times. The misconception of it being a mental disorder is one that was commonly believed up until more recently after more intense studies were done. First issue Male and female brains In Particular a certain censored gland is different. The male version develops very differently. This determines brain gender. Biological is determined by hormones But a female brain in a male body is still a huge flaw as without outside help there is no way to correct either issue. Changing the gland in the brain is impossible, leaving reassignment and counselling. The suicide rates are so high as many are dismissed as psych issues. There in lies the base issue. Of a study of a large group of transgender persons having MRI scans showed that 99% had female brains ( m-f ) 1 % had male brains and these were attributed to being abused as children, single parent or other psychological disorders. Of the 99% all were found to suffer a real medical condition. The suicide rate is so high due to the high depression caused by their predicament. Even with the best surgery and earliest treatment they will never be considered genetically correct women as a couple on this thread shows. Rejected and self loathing they suffer hugely. Just as I hope people wouldn't hate a child without a limb ( but we all know that child will be bullied at school ) these people are hated for existing. The other noteworthy point is there are so many male to females due to the fact that we all start as female. It is this so far impossible to prove that female to male is anything other than psychological so there you are correct. The fault purely is a natural mistake as much as any other condition. I'm sure no one would desire to go and decide hey I want to change due to good health mental and physical and they must endure massive persecution and pain. And also unsatisfactory results that lead to high suicide rates again as they still can never be how they see themselves. Wouldn't wish that life on anyone. And to clarify yes I believe in honest disclosure of any relevant condition that may affect the partner health or mentally before a relationship goes too far. Especially before one becomes intimate.
Is this topic appropriate for a 9 iPhone game? I don't think so. It's blatantly an illness who gives a crap how it affects the victims personally I hope they burn in hell. You should lock op
"Oh I was born with but I prefer to wear a dress" what crap! Get this outta forums. If I had kids I wouldn't want them reading this crap
