Why not post pictures of pretty girls instead so Cloppy can reflect on the nature of attraction?



If somebody takes female hormones, the body down to the cellular level "thinks" it's female, the skin, hair, and many other things change as gene expression is altered.
If this occurs before male puberty, the body is indistinguishable from a natural born woman in every way aside from a small operation.
Call them real or fake, the bottom line of attraction is the same.
It's like the difference between a "real" diamond dug from the earth and a man made one. It's functionally the same, so drawing distinctions where it doesn't matter seems silly.
If it comes down to having babies, that makes sense, but you should be equally unwilling to date an infertile woman.
When it comes to politics and religious beliefs, while there may be trends none of those are written in stone. There are conservative and even Christian trans girls.
On the other hand, if Cloppy is more concerned that being attracted to a now as far as anybody can tell girl who used to be apparently male makes him gay and this is against his religion, that's a more personal matter. I can only say that, no, it doesn't make you gay. Whatever your faith says about it is not something I can really comment on.
