What is your opinion on this?

You must have seen "Something about Miriam?" or the adverts on this UK show on Channel 10 at some stage right? Well, whilst i was running on the treadmill at my local gym, i watched the initial show where the 6 men were introduced to Miriam and Miriam to the world.

Now, you could say that this is like an Average Joe with a twist, because Miriam isnt quite 100% woman as the men might believe...Miriam's secret is that she is really a he with a masculine member still attached. Miriam is a transexual, who had been taking hormones since 11 years of age. Now at 21, Miriam has had breast implants but nothing surgically removed and is a model in the US.

She, well she wants to be referred to as a she...She says that she has never been in love before...well what do you expect? She was once a man and changed to a female, but still has the male part...if you want to attract a hetero male and then keep him, it would probably best to remove the penis.

BUT im not sure as to how many hetero male would accept the fact that you were male and then changed to a female...not to say that there arent men who are that open-minded...but i dare say that there are very few. As a female, i cant really speak for the mass of men out there. But im putting myself in a similar situation, where i was involved with a person who i thought was a man, but i later find out that he was a she previously...i cant say that i would accept the person...the way that they were.

I would feel a bit cheated, but then again...i cant really ask of the person to tell me straight away, like whilst we were dating...they dont owe that to anyone.

On a lighter note...we have seen scenes from the show where Miriam is getting hot and heavy with some of the guys...if Miriam still has a penis, does it not erect under feelings of arousal? So, is it an inactive penis? >_< Like OMG!!!

Whilst i was at home stuck with the flu...i was watching Oprah. Her show co-inky dinky was talking about transexuals, men who got married and had kids and then decided that they really should be women. Talk about hard stuff for the wife and kids to accept and adapt to. But they did, not to say that it wasnt a long and bumpy ride, but they are still a family unit.

One part of the show yesterday, showed a 14 year old girl, whose parents thought she was a lesbian, but later found out that she was a transexual...it was heart wrenching to hear that she, now a he is ready to date, but admits that its hard to attract girls to be interested in dating a girl who is now a guy...talk about tough love. I think its harder if you are a transexual cos as that girl, now boy, says: "...straight girls are interested in straight boys...its also hard because you are not interested in lesbians, and the lesbians are interested in feminine females anyways..."

So...what would you do, as a guy would you be accepting of Miriam?
