Since yesterday got a couple messages like: "Hi, I believe trans women are women & want to support them, have tried thinking critically through my aversion to dicks, am aware that many trans women don't have dicks, but I'm just not into it. Am I transphobic?" Honestly, no.
Some people just aren't into it. People are into different things. The point it becomes transphobic is the point you start broadcasting your disgust with trans women in terms like "I'm not into gay shit" (if male) "because I'm a lesbian" (if female).
This erases that many straight men and gay women do date trans women. It erases even the fact that *those of us who are bi* often experience attraction to trans women *as attraction to women* and not attraction to men, or "gynandromorophophilia" (thanks again Blanchard)
You have a right to your own preferences. But you are not exempt from criticism if you express those preferences in a way that denies or misrepresents the preferences of others.
I think everyone has an "on paper" idea of who and what traits they're attracted to that ends up being much narrower than the reality of who they become involved with. Never say never is the best attitude to have towards sex and relationships.
I mean, just on an emotional level I can kinda respect it. Not to generalize, but often trans people carry baggage cis people are clueless about. A while ago I would have said something similar, being afraid I would be a bad partner.
I would say "a little bit but its chill" :p i think these things are a spectrum.
I completely disagree with that, there is a whole body attached to those genitals. I'm pretty gay and I would you date a trans got pre-op if I was attracted to him.
My point being, I don't think there is any reason to distinguish between being attracted to trans or cis people of a certain gender.
I'd still say that their preference is informed by cis-normative conditioning. We have all internalised so much of that it's understandable, but I still think someone attracted to men who likes a trans man and then bails because of a vagina is expressing that normativity.
Yea, I suspect most are far more sexually flexible than they have been conditioned to believe
