Hell yeah! He is gorgeous!

Considering that there were absolutely no signs that "she" was a former "he" such as deep voice, big hands and feet, broad shoulders etc then, as far as I'm concerned, she is a she. So yes, I would do the deed.

I would try at least.

If he looked like THAT I would. And I'm a straight woman, lol!

reply

LOL. I'm a straight woman too and even I would hop over the fence for a night if it was for Vera. Omg, her incredible, flawless skin! (Although I'm sure it was digitally enhanced). Funny enough, Elena Anaya, the actress who played Vera, is a lesbian in real life.

reply

Probably not, because the fact that the "vagina" is in reality just a large surgery scar is very off-putting. If they really wanted to mess with the audience's mind, they should have had a real transgender person playing Vera. But I guess that gimmick has already been done with The Crying Game.

The vagina? Typical man. The vagina is the inside, idiot. The scar would be on the outside, the vulva.

I hope I can be as smart as you one day.

A vaginoplasty is a large surgery scar the way a spaceship is a metal box with rockets attached to one end.

A transgender actor playing a transgender character is more of a very basic verisimilitude than a "gimmick".

Lastly, having a contemporary transgender person playing a male character who was transformed into a woman using fictional scientifically advanced plastic surgery methods that don't actually exist, would defeat the object.

That isn't to say many transgender people aren't incredibly convincing, just that it would've been incongruous with the themes of the film.

Why do people even care who anyone finds attractive and wants to have sex with? As long as you're attracted to adult humans, everything else is immaterial.

A vagainaplasty is not a large scar, it's not scar tissue for a start and if it were then it wouldn't work. Post op results tend to be highly successful and most gynaecologists can't actually tell the difference without an internal examination higher up inside the vagina (obviously no cervix etc). You could easily have sex with a transsexual woman and never know the difference, so you may as well get over it and accept the fact that trans women exist in life and that they often look normal these days, especially if they transitioned from a young age.

Furthermore vaginaoplasties aren't just done on transwomen many are needed for women who have not grown a fully formed vagina due to birth defects. Sometimes the vagina doesn't form in utro properly.

To answer the OPs question. Why would I care if she looks female, acts female, identifies herself as female and I can have sex with her just the same? There would be no real difference. Obviously you couldn't have children with her, but then lots of women can't either.

The real problem would be that Vincent never really saw himself as female, it was a forced sex change and so obviously he doesn't identify as female. It would be impossible to have a relationship with a person who sees themselves as a different gender to what you are attracted to. So I wouldn't be attracted to Vera not because of her body having once been male, but because Vera doesn't identify truly as female.

Because it matters, that's why.

Not true. If you are attracted to your own gender only, or only elderly people, or only trans gendered people, there is something wrong with your (self) assessment and you can't procreate. So it matters.

A vaginaplasty performed on a man is a large scar. You don't have sensibility typical for women there. So you don't enjoy sex like that.
