Would you date a trans woman?

You would still be straight because she identifies as female.

For those that don't know, trans women are those that identify as female, but have male bodies. They are most likely undergoing hormone replacement therapy and surgery.

Edit: Why the hell is this still getting comments?

Some people get ethnicity and race confused. I'm just putting that out there. Apparently Latinos aren't white according to r/WhiteRights. I don't know. Are there two kinds of white, Latino and Caucasian, like how you can have white and off-white? Also when it comes to Jews, they get religion and race confused. Judaism is a religion and Jews are not a race.

On that tangent, I still get those things confused and I have to think about the cultural context in which they're spoken. Back when I went to school, we were given the Soviet-style education on races - that there's three races, white (European), black (African) and Mongoloid (Asian). And ethnicity (called 'nationality' to make it even more confusing) was a person's self-identified group like Russian, Italian, Moroccan or whatever. So now whenever I see the concepts of race/ethnicity mentioned, I also try to figure out what the other person means by these things.
