India Willoughby: Is it discriminatory to refuse to date a trans woman?
BBC ^ | January 12, 2018 | Jonathan Griffin

Posted on 01/16/2018 5:47:52 AM PST by C19fan

The argument started on UK reality television show Celebrity Big Brother, where minor celebrities are locked into a studio made to look like a house, then filmed 24/7. As might be expected in such a situation, tensions run high and conversations can be fractious. One of the housemates is India Willoughby, a TV journalist who had an established career as a man before transitioning to become a woman.

Oh for crying out loud! There’s no such thing as a ‘trans woman’. There’s just crazy men who want to women...and if a man dates one he’s DATING A MAN!

Is it discriminatory to refuse to date a trans-woman? No, because it isn’t a woman and that would make you a fag. Let the liberals live by their own dogma.

The Left perpetually attempts to define rational behavior as “discriminatory” or “racist”.

I think the writer of the article means "female impersonator."

Discrimination: the act or thought process of choosing or preferring one thing over another.

Everyone discriminates every day.

We need to take back the language.

Is it discriminatory to refuse to date a trans woman?

Why, yes it is. And that's OK, because discriminating is not a bad thing, it means choosing between one thing or another. It is often a good thing.

Dating is discrimination, and if it’s not, it’s meaningless.

It’s discriminatory, and discriminatory is good. It means “making a good choice”.

Is it discriminatory to refuse to date an overweight man?

Is it discirminatory to refuse to date a man who is over 40?

Is it discriminatory to refuse to date a man because he believes in God and “you” are an atheist?

I think pretty much everybody in existence is somewhat discriminatory in who they are attracted too. My brother will only date Asian women, while I like the white Southern “redneck” girls. Does that mean I’m a racist if pass on a offer from an Asian or Black women? No, there is just no attraction on my part. Same with transgendered, I prefer my women without extra equipment, (regardless whether the equipment is still there or has been removed).

Oh geez. It is still a man. No amount of surgery and drugs will change that. The last I checked, who you date is based on your preference. I prefer Alpha male types over metrosexuals. Am I discriminating? You betcha. I am distinguishing between the two types.

A trans woman is a man. He just is. He always will be, regardless of any surgery he has or hormones he may take. That is a giant turn-off. You can’t make yourself female. It just doesn’t work. I don’t hate on them or anything, people are going to be people, faults and all, but I am repelled romantically by anyone who has or has ever had man bits.

Free love isn’t free.

They believe it to be “stingy” if somebody says no.

Weather Underground didn’t always accept “no”.

1) “You flirted with me, and that’s not OK. I will now ruin your life.”
2) “You didn’t flirt with me, and that’s not OK. I will now ruin your life.”
