    Default India Willoughby: Is it discriminatory to refuse to date a trans woman?

    A reality television programme kicked off a debate about whether it's discriminatory or transphobic to refuse to date a transsexual person.
    The argument started on UK reality television show Celebrity Big Brother, where minor celebrities are locked into a studio made to look like a house, then filmed 24/7.
    As might be expected in such a situation, tensions run high and conversations can be fractious. One of the housemates is India Willoughby, a TV journalist who had an established career as a man before transitioning to become a woman.
    Willoughby asked her housemates about their dating preferences, and the resulting conversation kicked off a social media storm.

    Bet your ass it's discriminatory. So call me a bigot. Better question: Is it discriminatory to beat the fuck out of one when you find out it lied and you thought it was a she? Yep. Check me in on that one too.

    Add me to your list.

    I would not touch one with a 10 foot pole.

    Why they INSIST on forcing their depraved habits on others, then whining
    when they backfire is beyond me.

    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    Question: If you are HIV/AIDS positive and have sex with someone without informing them, is it a crime? Yep, sure is. And each time, deceit has been mentioned as far as I can recall.

    As far as I'm concerned, if an it doesn't disclose it's an it, that's deceit, false pretenses, not to mention endangering your "it" life.
