Unless I've missed something, it looks like Newgrounds does not have a 'edit' button.

When reading number 3, I responded with a quote.

Aren't you forgetting a few differences:

No. I'm not. I made statements for them.

1. Being initially misled by a transgender or transsexual individual is not the same as dating soneone who needs surrogate in vitro transplantation.

I didn't believe what I said has anything to do with deception. If any person in a relationship with you is deceptive, male, female, or trans, I'd kick them to the curb. When in a relationship, I assume the person I'm with is being open with me about anything, including their gender, or any other touchy subject, like being transgender, or a member of the tea-party.

2. Hormonal differences can be discerned through smell.

Yes. But if they have transitioned properly, there is no real hormonal difference to detect: You are not a bloodhound.

3. The later a male begins the process of hormone replacement, the more masculine that individual's form will be.

If you don't like how they look (like... they didn't transition well). Then you're not holding being trans against them, you just don't like them.
4. Transsexual individuals often need continuing medical care and complications arise which sometimes prohibits sex and a interfere with a normal relationship.

Hey... guess what also happens with almost all of the female conditions I'm speaking of?

5. The above may result in extra living expenses, change health insurance rates, etc

Same statement.

6. Transsexual individuals aren't accepted in some nations, limiting your travel options during vacations.

Women are also treated terribly in certain contries that are travel hotspots. Such as: India, Germany, and Mexico. Simply being married to anyone or even just being a tourist makes you unwelcome in some nations. Your travel options are only limited if:
1: You really cared in the first place
2: IF they transitioned so terribly badly that it's obvious immediately, and is going to get called out on.

7. Dating a transsexual individual at this point in time means complicating your life by putting yourself into a minority group which is currently fighting for social acceptance in many places. You have to spend more time reading and studying gender identity concepts, becoming informed, and having discussions which encroach on very personal topics.

A large majority of this will occur (with some of the words being changed) if you date a highly religious person from a different religion, someone from a different culture as you, or a Feminist.

Additionally unless you marry a white, catholic/christian republican, you are putting yourself into a minority group that is fighting for social rights of some form or another in the USA or another first-world country.

In reminder, this was simply to add the self introspection of being certain you're aware of where the real issue is. Can you simply not cope with what they are? Or is it truly about the children? It's the same question the Catholic Church has been asked before by certain individuals in the past...

Children are important, and if it's the lack of children that is the issue: Please! Feel free to have that be your issue... but make certain you're being honest about it. If your girlfriend turned out to be incapable of conceiving for any other reason... would you drop her too?

Transgender individuals deserve to be treated with the same respect you would treat any other person with.

If you don't like how they look (like... they didn't transition well). Then you're not holding being trans against them, you just don't like them.

If you're holding their lack of reproductive organs against them: than you should also question every single girl whom has any problem which causes them to be incapable of conceiving. Are they less of a woman for it too?
