No worries! Trans terminology is like a loving rocket still.

If a cisperson has an injury, genetic condition, or any other number of variables that can cause their sin zone to appear differently than a potential sexual partner might initially suspect, when are they required to inform said partner and am I still legally allowed to do violence to their body?

Turns out... oh. They had a perfectly nice evening and said lovely things about each other afterwards. How... awful. :geno:

the thing is, no mainstream trans folk talk about the "cotton ceiling" being an actual thing, it's entirely a fringe idea that anti-trans bigots seized on as evidence that transfolk are sexually predacious.

if they were coming from honest intentions, they'd talk about transphobia in dating, and how bio-essentialist the public perception of "lesbian" is. (ani difranco dating a subaru. (the actual answer is the public perception of a lesbian is a cis woman who dates only other cis women.))

kind of like the phrase "black on black violence" is a dogwhistle for white supremacists in a way that "poor on poor violence" never is.

the fact that their bad intentions didn't play out like they wanted is a big relief.

Any cisman with a dong smaller than average has to register with the government and inform everyone he meets or he is legally required to be hunted for sport.

you only care to date someone if you're eventually getting sex.

I'm going to confess that I thought that was the whole purpose of dating, like, that's the intent that separates it from just hanging out with friends or meeting new people.

Which absolutely does not condone bigoted violence, before I get accused of that.

Sex is a part of relationships, sure, but there's a lot more to it than that, and there's intimacy besides sex. A potential partner's body doesn't need to be the first topic of conversation.

So it's the cis persons fault for their reaction (if it's negative) when you inform them that despite all outward appearances, you aren't what you appear to be. And that deception from the jump, in your view, is the most appropriate way forward.

Got it. Totally reasonable.

So I'm the only one who thinks it's inappropriate to not be up front with the fact that you are trans if you are on a blind date with someone you may become intimate with / may develop feelings for you based on the assumption that what they have seen with their eyes and the manner in which you've acted has led them to believe that you have a penis or vagina?

really?

I guess I'm just an rear end in a top hat, but that seems like a lovely thing to do.

Having seen very few people naked, I don't have a data set large enough to come to any reasonable conclusions either way. Really, the only reasonable conclusion is that they'll throw a shoe at me if I look at them while naked.

buddy, you don't have to worry about going on any surprise dates with trans folk. it's not going to be a factor in your life. chill.

also, sex in trans relationships doesn't work like sex in cis relationships. in trans relationships, one of you wears cat ears and podcasts about harry potter loving young lenin and the other programs baby-seeking missiles for Raytheon. That's how trans folk have sex. I think trans men have something special they do with kettlebells but they're reluctant to share secrets with a gaijin like me.

You're not the only one. There are, regrettably, many people who share your opinions.

There are a lot of reasons you are wrong, but one of the simplest is that a relationship between two people can fail to spark for many reasons. It could happen on the first date or the second or the fifth, and it could be for reasons entirely unrelated to genitals. If you are a person whose identity may put them in danger, maybe you wait until you feel safe disclosing that identity to make sure that the relationship isn't going to fizzle out before you reach that point anyway.

But also, maybe take a moment to examine why you are using language like "lead someone to believe you have a penis or vagina". Do you think trans people are being misleading? Do you want to fill in the blank from your earlier post?

nonbinary people gently caress by finding some cats and petting the cats and singing little songs about the cats they are petting as they pet them, in the style of the singing Belcher Boy from Robert's Burgers, an animated television sitcom of some humorous merit.

Maybe you should try being up front about your genital preferences? Start off every date with "Hi, I'm Smackdillion, and I'm not going to gently caress you if you have a dick." I'm sure it will go well for you!

Hey, you know how messed up is for us aces when it comes to dating? It's bad because of that thinking. Getting coerced in to an activity you dont enjoy or care about because is "what is expected" by your date/partner is sooo hosed up.
