Definitely depends if pre or post op. Preop should be upfront about it before getting naked. Post op should be upfront before getting serious (due to desire for kids)

I love how you just assumed I'm religious.
Hint, hint, I'm not.

And no science still says you were born a male. Science still says you have an XY chromosome.
of course you're not religious... you're a theist who isn't religious. makes sense. speaking of xy chromosomes, these aren't people. they're chromosomes. lol.

Not religious at all, meaning atheist. Then again, going over the rest of your post, its too much of a trainwreck to be a serious post.

i find that hard to believe. i've known christians who lie and claim to be atheists when questioned about questionable political views they have. this can easily happen on the internet and it does. since you won't admit that xy chromosomes have nothing to do with a human person's gender identity and literally can't, i guess i can't argue the point. can't say anything when the other person refuses to discuss it.

Your entire argument is nonsensical arguing your feelings.

First of all gender identity =/= sex. If you were born with XY chromosomes, you were scientifically and factually born a male. You feeling like a female doesnt change scientifically you were a male with XY chromosomes. A sex change doesnt change what you were born as either.

I don't even need to address your nonsensical argument pertaining to me being an atheist. I've always bashed religion and find it the root to many of the world's problems. Not interested in convincing you I'm an atheist nor is it relevant when speaking science.

Trans people are "scientifically" born trans.

Now can we please just ask if someone's trans if we need to know? It makes more sense than hoping someone read your mind. Shouldn't a cis woman understand just like a trans woman that men have preferences and that it isn't always obvious?

lol, facts not feelings. what a great argument. so scientific and very believable that an atheist would make this argument. there are various people who have different (or even damaged) xy chromosomes but still must be assigned a gender, their existence (they may or may not be transgender) is enough to show that xy chromosomes mean squat for gender based issues. science is not and could not be on the side of people who would limit the freedom of transgender people to pursue happiness.

It's very clear this is about protecting straight, or anti-trans men's sense of masculinity. Transpeople are only perceived as a potential threat to that masculinity, not as real people. That's why people are expecting the ridiculous. The threat must be reduced. And that's also why the more anti-trans people are, the earlier they expect disclosure.

yeah, straight people are not the problem. they couldn't be. there's nothing natural about hating fellow human beings (and being straight is at least part of nature). there's a cause for hate and it has no cause in nature.

Whenever they are personally ready and ideally before any sex. Revealing it right away work for some trans people but some folks are violently transphobic and shady so it's better they get a feel for a person. It's dating after all, not a finalized commitment.

Reminds me of a story where a passing trans-woman met a cis-dude while on vacation in Thailand. She kept telling him she was trans, but since they were both white, he thought she was joking with him. Eventually, she started to believe no one could be this dense and assumed he was just kidding with her and was alright with the arrangement. When he was in her hotel room and it got really intimate, she told him again. Fortunately, he believed her before it got down to removing clothes, but he was still in shock. It was a traumatic experience for both of them.

STFU. Nobody should be fucking tricked into dating someone transgender if they're straight. If you are actively seaking a male as a transgender, you have every fucking obligation to make that shit known immediately. Don't waste an hour or two in conversation to go "Oh! By the way.."

Get the fuck outta here with that garbage.

CE really overworries about this stuff. There are a hundred or a thousand important things you need to know about a person before you're gonna date them, it's not like someone has to approach you with a goddamn list of their baggage before you can talk.

I wish I knew my ex wanted to have kids before we started seriously dating but that wasnt declared immediately as soon as I said hello either. Relax ya jabronies.

Why is it okay to hide that up until then? Why spur on possible attachment and romantic intent, just to spring that on someone at the last second and just hope they're cool with it? The earlier it's communicated, the better; if they're cool with it, great, if not, you've saved each other a sour moment down the line.

well i mean if you are hanging out with a buddy, you don't need to know what's in their pants. it's not your responsibility to tell your bros / girlfriends any more than that unless there's potentially going to be more. same thing with acquaintances, obviously.

i know...which is why i said what i said. i think you should tell people once there's a strong indication of romantic attachment. it should be during the time when you're "dating" when its clear you've crossed the line between "hanging out" and going on "dates", because presumably a physical relationship would be incoming in most cases at that point. so both people should be clear about who they are and what they are working with.

Pretty much this. The trans person doesn't NEED to tell anyone anything, but they could probably get a pretty good feel on who is and isn't a safe person when it comes to dating.

Pretty wild strawman but I'll answer in good faith.

They aren't "would-be" rapists if they never and will never act on their fantasies. If a person has thoughts I don't personally like, but never acts in a bad way. Then I don't get to tell them what to think, nor should I want to.

"Could do with some therapy" is a different question. it is a question of "do I think such thoughts are not conductive to a healthy mind and thus they might be happier/healthier if they sought therapy"? Perhaps, but again that's not my place to say because it's not my life or my thoughts.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels like at least part of you wishes we had ways to punish people for thought crimes.

I don't know about her, but there are some trans-activists who believe any sexual preference other than pansexual is immoral. Because having defined preferences regarding the genitals you are attracted to makes you homophobic or transphobic.
