Thread 2: The real purpose of having the "dating preferences debate" is often to disguise transphobia as a phony concern for sexual autonomy, feminism, or protecting homosexuality.

Here's how such a person raises this topic to a trans woman: "How typical of ＭＡＬＥ ＥＮＴＩＴＬＥＭＥＮＴto make the ＲＡＰＥＹ demand that lesbians like ＢＩＯＬＯＧＩＣＡＬ ＭＡＬＥＳ. It's telling of the ＰＡＴＲＩＡＲＣＨＡＬ attitudes inherent in trans ideology."

1 this talking point is [often willfully] ignorant of the fact that trans men complain about the exact same thing. 2 the rhetoric is filled to the brim with language correlating trans women with men, patriarchy, rape

The point is, in essence, to get away with calling trans women men. And nothing more.

This functions as part of a wider strategy that works like this: 1 you intentionally bombard trans women with dysphoria triggers 2 you persist until they break down and angrily lash out
Show this thread -
3 you screen cap the angry lash-out and present it as proof of how creepy, how entitled, how aggressively male they really are 4 you present your acquired evidence the world, sneeringly aware that the world is intensely prejudiced against trans women and will side with you

To be a trans woman and have this conversation in public, you have to have an absolutely ice-cold demeanor of unflinching stoicism. Or they'll eat you alive.

I have to admit not seeing this coming up as a talking point in trans male communities. Would you be able to give me some links to examples?
-
i don't have examples, but in my experience as a trans dude, it does come up, just not as often. a lot of the time, it's likewise framed as "male entitlement," just... trans male entitlement??
