Google Chrome and Firefox	Lets say you were on the Real World show. You were placed with six total strangers, but one of them was trans gendered. They had the operation done to be a female even though they were born a male. What would you do if you figured out the truth? Would you respect the person? Ignore the person? Be scared of the individual? Date the person? Discuss what you would do. Edited by Pookie, Feb 13 2009, 03:56 AM.

If I was hanging out with friends and I knew one of them was trans-gendered Id respect them. If I'm on this "Real World show" then alot could've happened so, I think the time and relationship would decide on how my reaction turns-out

Because if they are the latter two, then I think this conversation is pretty much over.

And I'm wondering how stopping respecting that person could ever be an option, or even be scared of her. I'd sure just be more interested in her, to try to get information. Sex change is something that fascinates me scientifically.

Honestly I wouldn't treat them any different, because that's their personal life, and has absolutely nothing to do with me. I would wan to get to know them more and learn why they made that decision, because it'd be interesting.

It's a perfectly normal feeling. However, I'm not scared of someone who is trans gendered. I'd respect them like any individual.

Google Chrome Favourite Manga DBZ, Full Metal Alchemist	I dunno what I'd do. I'd like to say I wouldn't treat them differently, but in reality I probably would. I'd probably feel a little awkward around them. I find people who have gone through a sex change a bit of a confusing subject. I obviously don't understand how they feel or why they did it and even if they told me and explained exactly how they felt etc it wouldn't really change much because I still wouldn't understand, I'd just know how they felt (if that makes sense).

Google Chrome Favourite Manga Fullmetal Alchemist	I wouldn't care, I don't know their history, reasons for having the operation. I like or dislike people based on their personalities. To say anything would not only be hurtful to the person, but bring up some pointless discussion that would drain everybody of their energy. Everybody would go to bed tired and pissed off. Besides, it's not even my place to question somebody I don't know yet. If I knew the person then I might ask one day but not until I knew they would be comfortable with talking about it. People talk when they're ready. Just need patience

People are afraid of the unknown, or some people are, but sex change is a topic that has been discussed several times everywhere, on TV, in schools, people know how it's done (at least, the basic procedures), someone who is transgendered is still a person, there's absolutely nothing to be afraid of, even if you're not open minded. They are persons! Like Kotetsu ironized transgendered people do not spit fire or are half minotaur lol. People might get invaded by prejudice and act differently about that person who got the operation, or feel uncomfortable around him/her because they think what he/she did is wrong, that I can agree with you, but feeling scared of them would be just stupid.

There is no way i would date that person, in my head that person will still be part male and i don't date guys.

There is no way i would date that person, in my head that person will still be part male and i don't date guys. That's a point, I don't think I could ever date somebody who had a sex change. It'd always be in my mind that they used to be a guy. Sounds judgemental, which it probably is, but that's just my view.

There are people that are afraid of homosexual people, which is called homophobia. It may be stupid, but there are people out there who are scared of trans gendered people because they are different. Not everyone is educated about sex change. We watched this movie in Sociology class, and there was a woman who under went the procedure to be a man. She was later killed in the movie because there was a group of men that did not understand procedure. It is still like that today. As much as schools try to educate the public, there will always be those who oppose sex change.

Chiaroscuro ♥ Posts: 17,000 Group: Rock Princess Member #1,750 Joined: September 24, 2006	I understand that, but I think people who feel that way aren't really scared of those people, it's more aversion what they feel towards them. But what I was really trying to say is that anybody that understands the basic procedures of sex change will not be scared of transgendered people simply because there's absolutely nothing to be afraid of, unless those people are murderers or cannibals or anything like that, although that isn't related to the sex change at all, anyone could be a murderer.
