Because despite the small handful of Officers that you hear about on the news that abuse their power, the other 800,000 are actually doing the right thing and arresting criminals in compliance with regulations.
Still doesn't change that the bad cops can shoot basically anything that scares them and yet other people are supposed to maintain cool heads and keep the cop calm. Logically, shouldn't cops be the ones not getting any benefit of the doubt?They're the trained professionals paid to deal with high stress scenarios. A cop could shoot your child by accident and you'd be jailed and probably shot if you punched the taste out of their mouth.

What if someone broke into your home while you were sleeping? Would you call the cops? What about cops that lay down their lives to protect others? Did they give their life just because they were a bastard?
I'm not going to respect everyone that does a job just because I might call on their services at some time. I don't respect any job. I respect individuals that may do a job if they aren't bastards or bastard defenders.

A good cop that protects a bad cop would also be a bad cop.

It's not at all ridiculous to expect all PEOPLE to be honest about very basic information. Since when did the gender of the person you're dating become "personal information?"

You don't get to violate BASIC dating etiquette just because you've got baggage associated with your identity. You can't pick and choose when you want to be treated like everybody else and when to be treated special just because you're insecure. This "have my cake and eat it too" approach is counter productive to the inclusion goal. Trans or not. That's for everybody.

But if you feel like something as basic as your gender should be withheld from somebody you're trying to find a romantic spark with, you might wanna consider that you're not ready to date. Just not in a place in life to even have a partner because you still need to work on you first. And that's okay too.

Btw, I don't mean YOU personally the vast majority of the time I used "you." But DO apply it wherever it fits.
Their gender is not secret. Transgender is not a gender. It is perfectly normal and human for someone to not share their baggage with someone before they are comfortable with them. A trans woman is a woman. Whenever she becomes comfortable enough to share more information (now or later), it will either end the relationship or not just like any other potential dealbreaker/preference.

Special treatment is expecting trans people to not handle privacy like every other person and instead tell you things on your schedule to save you a potential headache. My entire point has been how not special being trans is. Another person may or may not be attracted and information may be shared immediately or over time depending on the personality and experience of the trans person. Just like anyone else.

100% of people would vote that world peace would be ideal but that doesn't mean world peace is going to happen. 90% of people agreeing on an ideal does not automatically make it feasible. No one demands people share their other personal baggage in case of dealbreakers. Wouldn't it be ideal if a woman told a man she was mentally ill? Most men would probably not be attracted to mental illness if a stranger told them she had it. Is it common courtesy for those women to remove themselves from the pool?

Our attractions are natural. Physical, mental and emotional. If you're not attracted to somebody, you're not attracted. No mental gymnastics or guilt trips are going to change that. Look at the poll and process what that means.
Point to where I called anyone a bigot for not dating trans women. I literally haven't even advocated for them to never divulge that informnation. I just disagree that they have to do it up front. Only certain personalities will be able to do that.

2Privileged4U posted...
You spun the FUCK out that post and added your own bullshit. Who said anything about a life story? You exaggerate, stretch the truth and everything else that's dishonest. No wonder you're advocating for more deception. (I'm not saying being trans in ITSELF is deception. Clarification for the impaired)
Not everyone is comfortable sharing personal information to complete strangers. It is ridiculous to demand that all trans people act a certain way. They won't always be comfortable confiding into everyone they meet. It makes perfect sense that one might not be comfortable telling someone they are trans before they trust them as friends or something more.

giving people reasons to not trust you is not the way to start any sort of relationship, lolololol. platonic or otherwise. that's a dodged bullet for BOTH sides.
So you don't trust anyone that doesn't give you their life story the first time you meet them? That kind of trust is earned. You have to unlock all the dialog options through leveling

This kind of logic implies that the only reason someone would be slow to give information is because they are a deceitful liar. Everyone in the closet is deceitful. Everyone with some medical condition or repressed trauma is a lying asshole. You aren't allowed privacy and control of personal info if you want to interact with another human being.

That sounds so cheesy and clinical.

My whole life has been a long buildup of courage to do things I should have addressed years earlier and this has been weighing on me now. I'm 30 years into my life and have never had any sort of romantic relationship. I need to at least test my limits.

They celebrate it because it has always been extremely difficult for people throughout history to come out. The community and its allies know it is still very hard out there for a lot of people to no longer feel shame. Many parts of the world are legislating against and sometimes even killing LGBT folk. They can face incredible difficulties from the friends and family that are supposed to love them, just for admitting they were born different.

Again, all human beings are different. Just because some people can easily come forward doesn't mean all can. Past experiences shape us and some people need to feel safe with someone before they can tell them all.

Please elaborate.
I mean, there is no such thing as an unnatural person. "It's natural that people won't be attracted to trans people" is dehumanizing and tells on the type of person who would say it. It implies any attracted to a trans person is acting against nature. It shows ignorance about homosexuality as well since trans men or trans women can be gay, straight, or bi.

It all just proves a bigger agenda than "People have dating preferences".

But yeah.

Ideally, a trans person would be open about being trans early on. In an ideal world, there would be no issue in doing so.

Problem is that trans people get a lot of shit for being trans. Being disowned by their family, being bullied, being attacked or killed...

Trans people don't hide their status for kicks. And you can't rely on the "Well don't date people who you think might be violent" because you just don't know how people will react.

Like how some people didn't know that their familys unconditional love came with an asterisk. Or how their year long friends weren't really friends. Terrible people can be great at pretending to be decent people until they decide not to.

It's a pretty difficult situation to be in.
But have they considered that they might be wasting a cis person's time? /s

Seriously though, this is what I've been saying.

Like I said, its about giving the guy a choice and personal safety. Plus, again, if you get the vibe that the guy is someone youre hesitant to tell, thats a huge red flag that you shouldnt even be ON that date.

Isnt it way, way better to date someone who knows youre a trans and is totally fine with it?
But why does the responsibility have to be on the trans person? Why can't the cis guy also be mindful of safety and bad reactions? "There's far fewer trans people" is not a valid reason. I feel like it's unhealthy to think about worst case scenarios anyway. Will trans people feel comfortable existing if we teach them that need to tell everyone for their own personal safety?

Would you want to date a white supremacist?

Shouldn't a white supremacist disclose who they are as soon as possible?
I feel like that situation is different as white supremacy is a pure choice rather than a legitimate birth condition. White supremacists also don't have a history of being oppressed by law and being disowned by their families and friends. They likely developed those beliefs because of the company they keep.

But no matter what, what would be nice is not the same as the reality that not everyone is equally comfortable sharing things to people at the same point in relationships. And if future information ruins a once budding relationship, then oh well. You dated a Nazi. You win some, you lose some. Things happen.

Your attempt to emotionally manipulate my stance does not change the fact that humans have many reasons why they might not share things before they feel comfortable.

In any other situation, yes, they absolutely have the right to privacy.

In the dating world, which directly involves sex, genitalia and physical attractions, no, they dont have that right and are being selfish if they deceive the guy.
Ah so only certain trans people are allowed to seek human companionship. And everyone that doesn't unveil all potential dealbreakers to all potential companions at first blush is a deceitful asshole. All because asking your own questions is too much of a bother. You say you're arguing for courtesy when all you're doing is changing who is allowed to be "selfish".

Many men are not interested in dating trans women, its a widely known dealbreaker that should be disclosed before the date. Also known are the very dangerous consequences of NOT telling the wrong guy until afterward.

So to respect the guys right to choose if he wants to date a trans girl AND for personal safety, telling him before the date is the only answer.
So trans people aren't allowed privacy or diversity of personality because they need to be afraid that most people want nothing to do with them? Do your own homework.
