If you found someone attractive, would you date them if you found out they were trans?

No, I wouldn’t date a trans person because I’m straight
hm? Can you help me out here - I assume you're a straight man? Would you date a trans woman who is indistinguishable from a cis woman?
It's the inate disgust. Even if she had xx chrome I'd still be grossed out at the thought of fucking a man.
No i wouldnt
if you feel comfortable, I would love to hear more - what about being trans is problematic?
It’s my personal choice. I’m not against trans people at all, but I just don’t see myself dating a trans person, I hope that is understandable!
sure, I am not meaning to challenge your personal choice, but I guess without explanation it's hard for me to know why you feel that way, that's all I'm curious about - just wanting to understand.
You don't have to explain if you don't want to, though- I'm just interested in more details if you have any.
edit: particularly if a woman was post-op, had transitioned as a child, and being trans was an irrelevant fact from their distant past, I have a harder time knowing what the remaining problem is, or why you wouldn't date them. They are for all intents and purposes a woman, as much as any cis woman.
I think you are being ignorant. Don’t forget my life and my decisions, dumbass
