I should begin every shitty twitter convo about the "I won't date trans people because [transphobic claim]" issue with the following disclaimers: 1 I am a subby, bottomy kind of girl. I like to entice/encourage pursuit but I fundamentally prefer to be pursued

3 I'm pretty pansexual and open to dating cis women, but that's not usually who I'm interested in these days

4 If someone were to reject me on the basis that "I'm not into trans women" I would instantly lose interest (see point 1)

5 I have never had this conversation with a person who has rejected me. It is only a conversation I have in public with people who have announced "I won't date a trans people because [transphobic claim]"

6 Gay men are just as shitty about this wrt trans men as cis lesbians often are wrt trans women, and trans men are just as indignant about it as trans women—

however, cishets only care about the trans women version because it lets them pretend to care about lesbians long enough to use "defending lesbian sexuality" as a cover for implying trans women are sexual predators

7 Making transphobic claims in public is not okay (ok, it's *allowed* because free speech, but it's morally and intellectually bad you edgy snowflake). Using the framing "I won't date trans people because [transphobic claim]" is very clever, well done, but it's just as bad.

A woman on Tinder the other day told me she was way into my nonbinary self, but told me I'd have to present as male when her kids were around because she didn't want to explain gender identity to them. Instant turn-off.
