still, even if you don't like the use of the term 'transphobia' the argument presented by the graphics does paint a pretty f'd up picture. is there a legitimate reason to reject trans individuals as a category? i really can't think of one.

I haven't been attracted to any trans people I've met, not because I'm transphobic but because I simply don't have a sexual response to them.

'not attracted to any trans individuals i've met thus far' doesn't seem equal to 'not attracted to any trans individuals as a catagory, period'. i'm still not seeing the conflict.

imo seems basically the way straight people operate?
Also the thought of having sex with a trans person who I register as trans (as in; jawline, genitals, body hair, etc.) makes me feel actively turned off. I'm bi but am aroused by clear binary presentations in gender.

i've met a few trans individuals that i couldn't tell until they told me. i guess if i'm attracted to 30% of cis men and 29% of cis women and .5% of trans individuals, i'd still be unwilling to write off trans people entirely.

Your experience doesn’t seem to be universal. A decent number of trans people who don’t pass perfectly end up with gender-appropriate straight people (trans women with straight men, etc). And those straight people do not seem to be secretly bi.
Bi but not interested in centers is interesting to me, as a fluid person who mostly dates pans.
Does your concept of a person change with their current expression?
Like, if a fluid person passed as female and then later passed as male to you could you be interested in both?
