How the hell would it take you months to figure out that the person is not anatomically correct?

It should take no more than a couple of weeks for you to get to the point where you can get a preview of the terrain during foreplay.

To answer your question, I would just laugh at myself for getting trolled by an "alternate" and just leave.

[QUOTE="MistressMinako"][QUOTE="ghoklebutter"] Yeah, 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.

Oh, and there's also the fact that many trans* people are too afraid to disclose their histories to partners because they fear transphobic violence.

Well, I don't think that they have to I guess I just was thinking they should if they wanted to so there won't be any secrets in the relationship. I don't think they should stick to other transgendered people just mainly people who would accept them for who they are. I guess it wouldn't matter to me either way if they told me or not but to some people it matters so that's why I said that. Actually, I never really thought of abuse. I guess if that was me, I would be very selective on who I tell these kind of things to. Come to think of it, my friend just admitted to this on Facebook that this has been pondering her (well his mind) for a long time. Most of his friends already knew (excluding me because we aren't that close yet). I think his family got pissed off about it, he recently just made a new Facebook account with friends only. Right now I am still trying to get used to the new name and switching from her/she to him/he.

Oh, no worries. I understand. As a trans* person myself, I mention my trans* status very quickly upon meeting someone I really like (in a romantic way or otherwise) and feel is accepting of folks like me. The last thing I need is more intolerance in my life. And I'm also one of those people who likes to be open with many people.

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.

Ah, I see. If that was me, I would probably be too scared to do that from the get-go anyway. I am usually open about many things but I guess if that was one thing I had to tell someone I would be really scared. I assume breaking up was common but abuse for some reason never crossed my mind. I guess I try not to think about what bad things could happen to people but yeah I can see it being entirely possible. I understand if some people do not want to stay in the relationship once they find out but I guess to me it feels like it was basically wasting time relationship wise if it was going to end because of it. But then again, it might have been a fun relationship while it lasted so maybe not that big of a waste. Yeah, his story is heartbreaking every time he makes a post on Facebook or while we are chatting at school. On top of that, they didn't take too kindly of him being a lesbian (this was before the trans situation) so I wasn't too surprised when they didn't like that either. By his description, I never want to meet his family. Not like they would like me anyway because some of them are racist against blacks. He just basically said I'm done with them the other day. So yeah basically I wish you all the luck in the world whenever you tell them. Hopefully you do not have to move out of your family's lives like my friend had to.

well I asume that they are antomically correct.

And how is someone wanting to be in a relationship with you trolling? Are you really that ugly?

A flayed penis is not anatomically correct for a female.

That's cute, the trolling comes from that person masquerading as something they are not.

Leave them immediately, and read the Word of the Lord for further guidance.

Yes, those are really big issues you're putting on the table. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151692702876258 /sarcasm
