[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like dating, much like employment, is basically an at-will situation. If you don't want to date someone for some reason, don't date them. If the reason that you don't want to date someone is that you have a prejudice against them (e.g., you think transgender people are mentally ill, etc.), then sure, work on being less of a bigot, but don't feel like you have to date someone in order to prove you're not a bigot.[b] I feel like the grayer area is if you are already dating someone and don't know they're transgender and then break up with them when you find out[/b]. Is it bigoted? Sure, but it's not unsympathetic.[/quote]

I disagree.  I think this is a breach of trust on the part of the transgender person.  I think it's imperative to let your partner know your biological capabilities.  If you are a transgender man and your woman partner prefers the feel of actual male anatomy -- that's an issue.  Then there's the whole thing of reproduction.  A person has a right to decide if they are compatible with someone else based on any factor presented.[/quote]
