would u do Vera if u knew she was a he?


if u had a chance, would u do it with vincente (Vera) after the transformation?

reply

just wanted to say that. i think who answer yes is gay or have a tendency to be gay..what do u think?

Not at all. You can be straight and go only with transgenders, not gay men. Crypto-gays are actually the homophobics, not guys who would go with the perfect transgender.

Of course I would do a transformed guy - if (s)he was as perfectly transformed as Vera was (which is probably not possible in real life).

However, I would NOT do it with somebody that
a) didn't want to be transformed
b) I myself victimized
c) raped my daughter

I found the entire twist completely absurd because of that. I know Robert was insane. I can understand that he wanted to punish him. I can understand that he tried to "build" a woman that was as close to his wife as possible. But what I can't comprehend, psychotic guy or not, is that he would combine those two things. Vincente was probably the WORST of all possible candidates to form a new "Gal"! Why even bother to gender-transform a guy if he could have picked a woman instead? It was hinted that there were more people missing and that Robert & friends had done surgeries of dubious nature before.

Robert may have been a psycho but he wasn't stupid. Moreover he was meticulous and cautious. How could he expect Vincente to not run away, to not try to murder him and to fall in love with him!?
Two scenarios that are that much more likely:
a) He picks a woman with burned skin that wants to be beautiful again. Robert offers her to reconstruct her but it would take years and they have to do it in secret because he will use his illegally modified skin. He would offer to do it if she in return would be with him.
b) He picks a guy that actually wants to be a woman but can't afford the surgeries. Someone psychologically instable, perhaps someone with daddy issues. It would be plausible for such a guy to fall in love with Robert.

Of course, we wouldn't have a plot then - but the twist, as it is, makes no sense to me and can't simply be explained away with "he is insane, duh".

Of course, absolutely! But please alter your title, it is a huge spoiler..

No *beep* way.
The very presence of Y chromosome in his DNA will put me off. I think I can literally scent pheromones and when its a male the first thing that comes to mind is drinking beer or fight him(j/k).
I'd rather do it with somewhat unattractive woman than with no matter how gorgeous shemale/tranny. Gross.
