Seeing as there is a would you date a trans person thread for proper balance I'm sure you will be happy with a would you date a gender critical person. I know we could ask for every other characteristic that people do and do not find attractive, and then we can judge people by there answers. But no one needs to date anyone they are not attracted too.

So my answer is I'd probably be attracted to them but over time if there views were such that they impacted on me negatively then that would be a massive turn off.

I would ONLY date a person who is GC.

How would their views impact on you negatively - unless you are trans yourself (or have someone close you who is) and you believe that a trans woman/man actually is the very same as a bio woman/man.

GrumpyCatLives · 29/06/2019 16:43

I wouldn't date someone who thought that gender was a good thing, or who believed that humans could change sex.

LassOfFyvie · 29/06/2019 16:45

Not entirely sure this is a direct comparison but almost certainly not as they are likely to have a vagina.

If they have a penis- probably not as I'm not sure I would want to be constantly lectured at or educated.

Laniakea · 29/06/2019 16:45

I am not compatible with someone who holds misogynist, supernatural or superstitious beliefs - therefore gender critical is a fundamental requirement for for me.

Would somebody who is GC date you?

SnuggyBuggy · 29/06/2019 16:47

I think it's fair to say contradictory views can sometimes be an issue in relationships.

I guess if dating someone who is gender critical you'd have to accept that your relationship would struggle if you decided to embark on a transition.

Laniakea · 29/06/2019 16:48

Indeed! I haven’t seen any gender critical groups bemoaning a lack of dating opportunities from the trans community! I think you’re safe from us OP.

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 29/06/2019 16:49

No. Imagine procreating (or trying to) with someone who believes you change sex?

BickerinBrattle · 29/06/2019 16:49

Well, one thing is certain: there’s not a single GC person suggesting that if you wouldn’t, you’re contributing to the deaths of GC people.

Which is the entire reason the first question was posed on MN : the insistence that people must date TW or TM, else accept responsibility for death.

Let’s keep that abusive tactic front and center, because it is NOT reciprocally engaged in by GC people.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 29/06/2019 16:51

If we define gender critical as someone who understands that sex is not a spectrum, or that it is not possible to change sex, then yes it is pretty much a requirement.

I would not be in a relationship with someone who's intelligence and critical thinking abilities were so low that they couldn't understand basic scientific principles.

HappyPunky · 29/06/2019 16:51

I wouldn't want to date someone who lived by gender stereotypes because I'm a woman and it would have a negative impact on me.

I wouldn't want to date someone who was very religious either who believed that your soul pops into your body when you're born.

My dating pool is still quite wide and deep.

Bespin · 29/06/2019 16:52

would someone gender critical date me, good question. Possibly sometimes people can not help who they are attracted to I was dated a torie for a short while you can put a lot of things aside when you like someone at first.

OP posts:
NotTerfNorCis · 29/06/2019 16:52

I'd imagine anyone who swallows gender ideology would have to be a bit simple, or have a vested interest. So yes, being GC would definitely be a plus.

sackrifice · 29/06/2019 16:53

What point are you actually trying to make here?

SpamChaudFroid · 29/06/2019 16:54

I wouldn't date anyone, but would possibly allow a GC man to pick up my hanky from the floor.

Moominfan · 29/06/2019 16:54

I couldn't date someone not gender critical. If someone looked to my little boy who likes Make up and dolls and suggested that he's the wrong gender we'd have issues. I need someone abit more Worldly.

EweSurname · 29/06/2019 16:55

You should be able to date whoever you want to OP. If anyone ever tries to pressure you into thinking otherwise, I’ll have your back

TheClitterati · 29/06/2019 16:56

If there was a chance I could radicalise a non GC person, possibly.

But yes I would absolutely date a GC person.

Bespin · 29/06/2019 16:57

I'm just interested in balance, I have no issue with the first question. I don't understand when people say you are contributing to people's deaths. People are attracted to who they want to be attracted to there should be no judgement either way. its ok to like who you like.

OvaHere · 29/06/2019 16:58

Did I miss the article about GC people being basically killed because people don't want to date them?

The only reason there was a thread about dating trans people is because someone wrote an article bemoaning the situation.

As to the question in the OP I don't think that believing in the existence of biological sex is a deal breaker in 99% of relationships.

yiskasha · 29/06/2019 16:59

Exclusively.

LangCleg · 29/06/2019 16:59

Same as I said on the other thread: I wouldn't date a narc. Not found many of those in the GC community so far.

FamilyOfAliens · 29/06/2019 16:59

Oh hello again bespin.
