I'm not interested in being someone's virtue signal or tentative experiment. I am interested only in being the fire of his her or zir loins.

Semi-necessary preambulatory brag: transing has worked well for me. Never in my life have I had an easier time finding people who want to fuck me. What follows is therefore 1 not an attempt to pressure anyone into sex nor 2 the cry of the oppressed, wounded, or unfuckable.

Let's start by agreeing on the truth of some free-floating contextless facts: 1. Everyone has the absolute right to refuse sex with anyone at any time for any reason. Ever. 2. Not wanting to fuck trans people is not *necessarily* in itself a sign of bigotry.

What I want to dispute is not the truth of these facts (they are literally true) but the *way in which they are used* as an alibi to bigotry, ignorance, or misunderstanding.

Arielle frames this issue as an *attack on lesbianism*—t r a n s a c t i v i s t s (we're told) insist that lesbians "should" be attracted to trans women. Arielle responds: lesbians aren't attracted to trans women BECAUSE they're lesbians—ie because they're attracted to *women.*
Show this thread -
Arielle believes and advocates the idea that people are only attracted to trans people on the basis of their birth sex. She mentions having dated a trans man because she was attracted to him *as a woman.*
Show this thread -
She repeatedly suggests that any and all so-called "lesbians" who are into trans women are actually just bisexuals who could never understand the true lesbian mentality.
Show this thread -
Her point is always: lesbians aren't into trans women *because* they're lesbians. Gay men aren't into trans guys *because* they're gay. The idea is that sexual orientation is based exclusively on assigned birth sex, and *gender* is little more than a figment of trans imagination.

Yeah transitioning for me has VASTLY improved my sex life. You're definitely not alone there, Contra. HRT really is magic

(this is not really related to the excellent points you're making, which are excellent, but I don't think I've heard someone saying they've done BETTER in attractiveness post-transition and so many of my fears are based on that, it's such a relief to hear from you)

my friend worried that transition would mean she'd never find a date ever again... but the actual result was that she had to learn to deal with people fighting over her
