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.*

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.

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.

Let's end with the truth that it's none of your business who anyone finds attractive or relates to in the entirety of their being, and nobody at all ever has to justify that to anyone

And imo the same is true in reverse. Imo, a non-trans person who fucks trans women but not cis women is probably also at least a little transphobic, or at least they pedestal trans women.

the 1 is the most important because we are in a DEMOCRACY

Tbh I'm not entirely convinced #2 is actually true (unless they're asexual obviously). Like I can't imagine someone wanting to fuck cis women but not trans women who doesn't also have some other transphobic baggage to deal with.
