Do you go around telling people that you are straight? I think not so why go around telling people that you like the same sex as yourself? |
Its like this... the guy (really a gal) looks like a male, talks like a male and everything. Its only when you do the do you discover he is really a she. What you going to do about it now after confessing your love for the gal?
Run?
It's a bit far fetched this but does remind me of the urban myth about the guy who goes over to Thailand, falls in love with a woman and after marrying her discovers she's actually a man who is a very convincing transvestite. I'm not sure what his reaction was but I imagine he was rather upset...
To be honest though I think most people can tell the difference between who is a man who is a woman after a few minutes of conversation. I don't know if its all to do with pheromones or what have you but I think we all do pick up something more underlying about the sex we are attracted than just looks when we see them. There is an attraction far more magnetic than just the symbols of a gender.
What made you ask the question RedSonja?
Dougiep, I think her point is: Would your feelings towards the person change just because you discover "in the moment" they are in fact a woman? Does this mean you are actually attracted to a woman and therefore not gay? Or is it a choice you make based on enjoying a sexual relationship only with another man? (therefore a choice and not genes)
Ok, I have to be honest and say I don't think this situation is very plausible (whether for gay or straight people) but lets play along for the sake of the question.
So lets consider the general physical differences between men and women. First of all, men have broader shoulders so she would have to be wearing a coat that makes her upper body more square at the top. Her hips would be wider than your average male so she'd have to have hidden those-perhaps by wearing something to make her legs thicker or something? She'd need heavier body hair in general and the ability to fake genuinely manly stubble in particular. She'd have to flatten her breasts, lower her voice and put a sock down her trousers too. Then she'd have to alter the way she stood and how she spoke to people because studies show men tend to dominate their space a little more than women (though it must be said not always!) So in the unlikely event she carried all this off and managed to somehow convince a gay man she was another red-bloodied gay man who wanted to sleep with him, her intended would soon discover the secret. The second her jacket came off he'd see how slim her shoulders were and if she took her top off I think it would become even more clear; if he was a genuinely gay man then I think he'd just leave. I know I would.
Think about the situation in reverse. The male transvestite who convinces a another man to come home with him under the pretext "he" is a "she." I think we'd all expect the straight man to leave the second the transvestite took his trousers off.
The only people I think who would benefit in a situation like that would be a bi-sexual man or woman- so good luck to 'em

Okay so after that long answer youre telling me that without the stick you aint interested? Well that shows me that its all a choice, nothing in the birth caused that.
