Would women be more or less offended than men, upon finding out that their date is transgender?

1 Answer

Answer :

That sounds like a great theme for a reality TV show. @ragingloli – you may become rich from this idea. I think there would likely be some disgruntlement going either way – surprise, and probably issue complicating things. I doubt that there is any way to know who would be more or less offended, men or women. With all respect to transgendered people, it would be a turn-off for me.
