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.

This assumes that there is a rational basis for sexuality instead of an instinctual basis. If that were the case, then sexualities and gender identities would indeed simply be a choice.

then does the word 'trans' itself cause some strong anti-attraction effect? isn't the point of the graphic that physiological traits don't cleanly map onto the catagory of transness?

they kinda do tho?
Like, I might be 'trans' because I'm agender, but for all practical intents I am cis - my presentation, chromosomes, etc. all align. I'm basically just a regular woman.
When people say they're not attracted to trans people they don't mean ppl like me.
then why not say 'i'm not attracted to an ambiguous gender presentation' instead? it sounds more accurate and less spiteful regardless of the intent.
