You've been dating this person for months now and you really enjoy being with them. Just as things are about to get serious, the person you've been dating has a confession to make. Turns out they're actually a post-op transvestite. What do you do?

Seriously though get your terms right. Transvestite wears clothes of the opposite sex. You're referring to a transexual. You have to decide if it bothers you that the correct parts weren't there from the start.Â
I'd feel lied too and feel this person abused my trust so that would definitely infuriate me and not the actual being post-op transgender part.
Ditto. If you're in love you'll accept them for who they are.I honestly wouldn't care. If I'm in a relationship with this person, I would love her for who she is, not who she was.

Dating for months and now I am finding out they have "other parts"? Unlikely. If there is no intercourse withing two weeks, I go for someone elese. Unless that person is the most special person I have met.Â
That's silly. If you've already been with them for a while and had sex already and didn't notice anything "wrong", I don't get the need for a dramatic response.Run for the hills.

[QUOTE="LZ71"]Trust and honesty are very important to me in relationships, so yeah, I'd have a big problem if they lied to me for all that time. InEMplease
Ask yourself, would you have tried to pursue a relationship if they let you know the day you met them that they were a post-op transsexual? Think of it as a case of trust, rather than deceit.
I can't answer that question, because I honestly have no idea. I've never been in a situation even remotely similar to that so I don't want to pretend like I know how I'd react. I'm not ruling it out, I just don't want to confine myself to an answer specifically.You've been dating this person for months now and you really enjoy being with them.

You mean that all this time I would have been putting my mushroom tip inside of another, rearranged mushroom tip? Murder, or severe assault and battery at the very least.

Finding out by yourself isn't nearly as easy as it seems. Many post-op trans* people are nearly indistinguishable from non-trans* folks.Then again, they might as well tell them because if they can't accept that then forget them.MistressMinakoYeah, that makes sense. On the other hand, though, it's rather mean to pressure trans* people to come out to their partners because quite a few of them have a hard time finding trans*-friendly partners, and so they often settle for people who may or may not be trans*-friendly but still likable in important ways. Trans* people should definitely be careful in relationships, but I don't have any problems with trans* people who keep their histories to themselves in their romantic relationships.

Abuse of trans* people is sadly quite common. So is breaking up (especially when one partner (usually cis) finds out about the other's trans* status). IIRC, about 1 in 2 trans* people who come out to their partners end up losing relationships with those partners. I don't have any problems with cis people who don't want to stay in such relationships, though. It's their right.
And it's sad to hear that he's not being accepted by his family. =[ That's another reason many of us trans* folks are reluctant about coming out to partners - if we come out to partners, then the news may spread and reach family members who aren't so kind (especially if the partners are vengeful in some way). I myself fear how intense and hateful my religious family's reaction will be when they find out.
Wow that is pretty much my worst nightmare relationship wise. I honestly have no idea how I'd react, Although I'm hoping I would be able to distinguish actual chicks from dudes who wish they were chicks before it ever got to that point.
I'd like to pretend that I'm enlightened enough that something like this wouldn't bother the hell out of me, but I'd be furious enough that I could lose control of my temper and I might lash out, but I'd probably end up eating a bullet.
