louis ck has an online show called "horace and pete" that you can purchase for like 3 dollars an episode.if you have not seen this show yet i highly recommend it.the show stars louis ck as horace.steve buscemi as pete jr and alan alda as pete sr (the show is worth it just for alda as pete.trust me),jessica lang and edie falco.the show is totally worth it,it is quite simply brilliant.
this is a scene with horace interacting with a woman he had just spent the night with,but is she a woman? or was she a man who is now a woman? and does it really matter?
this scene displays louis ck's brilliant writing capabilities to tackle some pretty deep philosophical questions that would make most people uncomfortable.

eric3579says...and a *quality discussion
siftbotsays...Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by eric3579.
Mordhaussays...It is a tough subject, and from statistics, one that leads to a lot of assault or worse upon those of transgender status. In my own opinion, and I'm just some ass that you know on the internet, I can only see two situations where the issue should be discussed.
1. The person has not completed transitioning, simply because it could be an extreme shock to the person you are planning on making love with. (Note: This does not mean the other person has any right to harm you in any way.)
2. You are planning on entering into some form of relationship where children are to be expected through normal methods. This is simply because it is unfair to the person you are planning on being with. The same applies to men and women who are unable to conceive and know they are incapable. Be up front with your partner, regardless of your gender.
ChaosEnginesays...This is disgusting. I can't believe they would show this on TV, it's utterly immoral.... who serves scrambled eggs without toast?!?
Also, Louis CK really doesn't get enough props as a dramatic actor.
noimssays...First-off, I completely agree, but mostly because of your first point about assault and the generalisation that it's currently something that would freak a lot of people out.
I think it will be great when society comes to a point where it's acceptable that someone might have transitioned. At (or approaching) that time I think it's something that a partner should generally know. Having said that, I certainly don't think it should be an obligation.
My present-day analogy is divorce... it's now acceptable to most people to be involved with someone who's divorced, but it's not something that's always discussed as a relationship blooms. However, it is an important part of a person's past that says something about them, and if it comes out far later in the relationship that says something too.
The mirror of this is that someone's reaction to the revelation of divorce/transition says something about them, and their acceptance of your past.
BTW, I'm saying this as someone who's divorced. Y'know, just in case it matters to you. In the long term. If we have a 'long term'. Damn, I'm ruining the moment, amn't I.

ChaosEnginesays...Ahhh, remember when we could watch this and not wonder if that actress had to watch Louis masturbate? Good times.
