I’ll never understand why people say that people not being sexually attracted to trans people makes you transphobic. Like if you are strictly into certain genitalia why is this a big surprise?? 😭 I’d get bisexual, Demi, and pan not giving af ofc

idk if people have the choice to go from being ftm or mtf, then others should have the choice whether they want to be with them or not. if someone doesn’t want to be with a trans person that doesn’t make them bad. it doesn’t make the trans person bad either. it’s a personal choice as is everything in relationships

But like why would you objectively expect someone who only likes dick or pussy to…not engage sexually with that preference. Sexuality isn’t a choice either. Neither is being trans. Everyone has to respect it Ofc don’t hate crime mfs you are actually evil and transphobic if you do

they say it’s transphobic because they ARE a man or ARE a woman. buuuut controversial take they weren’t born that way so yeah it changes things. i don’t want anyone that wasn’t born a man and it’s that simple.

It’s really a sticky situation bc for me personally I don’t plan on having kids and if I did I’m 100% adopting so I would absolutely have a trans partner if I met one and we dated. I can understand both sides to why people wouldn’t do it and why it also seems transphobic. I don’t really see it as transphobic but it’s also hard to see it as a “preference” without the reasons itself sounding transphobic a lot of the time other than them wanting biological children with their partner. Idk 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’ve heard it for bottom surgery and I’d assume that’s more of a “Oh shit really?” Situation rather than a “….Wait-“ Situation if you were intimate. Yk 🤣

often people don’t care if there’s been surgery and think it’s “gross” no matter what

Yea that might be hitting transphobia territory. Especially if you can’t even tell ngl But regardless sleep with whoever you want it legit doesn’t matter. There’s always gonna be SOMEONE that wants to sleep with you. Just like how there’s always gonna be someone romantically attracted to you.

Well people always have the choice to pursue what makes them happy. But being trans itself isn’t a choice, it’s just the choice to follow through and express it. Its like how you don’t choose your sexuality but you CHOOSE if you want to accept and express yourself. You can’t choose to be a certain race but you definitely have the choice if you want to embrace it. Same with sex etc

yes that’s what I meant 100% just didn’t know the right words to say it. either way, I don’t think people persecuted for being trans or expressing it and I don’t think people should be persecuted for not wanting to be associated with a trans person , so long as they’re not disrespectful to harmful to anyone

Yeah that’s what I meant too lol. Neither should be bitched out and attacked just because they aren’t attracted to someone. But it’s an alarming amount of folks that take that as a personal attack rather than literal sexuality at work. Ofc sexuality isn’t a spectrum so you can be into anyone with whatever parts at any time. But people that are certain they DONT like certain body parts have the right to not be into it Idk why that’s so weird to people

I think anyone has a right to make that choice without having to explain it. there are plenty of people who are okay with being in a relationship with a trans person, why focus on the ones who aren’t okay with it

I don’t think it’s transphobic unless you literally can’t tell. Or if you’re attracted to both anyway then I’d view it as more transphobic if anything because them being trans is the only issue. But gender doesn’t equal sex. They are a man or woman, but that doesn’t mean their sex changes unless they do stuff to change it like hormone stuff, top surgery, etc. Their body doesn’t take away that they ARE a man/woman, but we can’t pretend a partner can’t care if they are into a certain sex.

Yeah I don’t like labeling myself personally but technically I’m pansexual. Don’t want kids at ALL. But I’m in general still figuring out my own sexuality so I don’t know if I’d be comfortable dating a MtF unless they had surgery or were infertile. But then again my sexual interest is weird asf anyway But I’m only talking about specifically transphobic people and or people who think everything is black and white.
