Not watched but has seen some tweets about this. India Willoughby being one, who questioned it.

Straight female on naked attraction and one of the options of the men she could choose to date was trans man with a vagina.

This is the (rubbish) programme, where you choose a person based on the look of their genitalia.

I know channel 4 has always been one to push boundaries but come on.

The picker was the trans man though? So all the contestants would have been asked if they wanted to be on that particular show as the picker was a transman. It wasn't a woman picking and they blindsighted her by revealing a transman. It's a non issue

I find it funny that my 82 yr old mother had watched this before I'd even heard about it (from my hairdresser)...I seem to be late to the party.

If I were attracted to someone because they looked male but they didn't have a penis, I would feel there was something missing...maybe she's really bi or doesn't actually enjoy penis that much.

I don’t mind tge show - hated the idea of it it at first but it grew on me.

I got the impression the girls had said beforehand they were open about transpeople. The girl picked said all the right things, Pink News would approve but she did say she was straight and nervous about the female parts but of course if he identifies as a man then he is a man.

I saw it. The transman looked male clothed but for me a not very sexy male. Someone on twitter described the person as looking like Mr Tumble. I think it's the feminised face with beard and testosterone induced male pattern baldness combination. And they were in to playing with lego.
I think the person was brave to appear on the show. They showed very little of the actual date which was odd. There was obviously no chemistry.
I did feel they'd have had more sexual partners and had better hair if they had accepted themselves as a lesbian especially as the person wanted to carry a baby in the future.

Born with vagina and Is willing to date person born with vagina, not straight then.

There's a big difference between a theoretically willing to date and actually being sexually attracted when it comes down to brass tacks.

I would feel there was something missing...maybe she's really bi or doesn't actually enjoy penis that much.

Or maybe people fall in love sometimes and the exact physical genital configurations matter less than that love. They can still experience sexual intimacy of some sort.

I love my dad, my granny, and my cat, but don't want to shag any of them. Love and attraction are not the same thing, though they do sometimes coincide. "Hearts not parts" is coercion.

She said she has an open mind.
She's giving the impression she doesn't mind at all.

Here is a female being 'nice' and probably wouldn't say boo to a goose.

I wonder how long we’ll have to wait for the episode when it’s a trans woman picking from a group of straight men.

It’s disgusting tv. It shouldn’t be on.
