Reading the comments on here - my god, the TRAs are a nasty bunch!
"Genital preferences are bullshit"
And yet all of those male "lesbians" want to have sex with women -- if "genitals are a social construct", why don't they want sex with other transwomen - after all, a dick is just a bullshit social construct. But they don't want another TW - they want a woman and will bully women and girls into having sex with them.
"If you are only attracted to genitals and won't allow trans into your dating pool, you're a transphobic bigot"
Well, no. Because we are ALL allowed to decide who we want to sleep with. You're attracted to someone, and not to someone else, and that is your body's response to them AND NO-ONE HAS A RIGHT TO DENY YOU YOUR BIOLOGICAL INSTINCTS AND RESPONSES. Your body knows what it wants.
It transpeople were content to sleep with people who want to sleep with them, and not try to force people who find the thought of sex with them a turn-off, then there would be no problem. If they genuinely thought that genitals were immaterial, they wouldn't insist on bullying people whose genitals they prefer - they'd just accept that some people weren't attracted to them. Transwomen would be happy with other transwomen, and transmen with other transmen. But they aren't.
I'm straight - it doesn't mean that I fancy every man I meet. Why should a gay person (of either sex) be expected to be attracted to every other same-sexed person they meet? And especially why should they be expected to be attracted to people of the same gender (whatever the hell that's supposed to be). Particularly when being gay means being same-SEX attracted - not same gender attracted?
Homosexual is NOT homogenderal.
