Someone is arguing that attraction to secondary sexual characteristics is essential to sexual orientation but not primary sexual ones.
-
-
It seems likely that attraction to feminine/masculine appearance came about as a useful & fairly reliable indicator of mating potential?
-
Even tho some people have always been gay (probably), increasing the chances of successful reproduction must be what drove it?
-
In which case, it would be very unlikely that attraction did not also respond to primary sexual characteristics?
-
But yes, no matter what the reasoning behind this, it does not justify policing other people's attractions for ideological/moral purposes.
-
The 'I don't have to justify my lack of sexual interest in you' rule is a good one.

No, it's logicaly incoherent. If your attraction is bound to sexual characteristics it doesn't matter if they are primary or secondary.
-
And if it's more linked to the personality, then sexual characteristics don't matter that much.
-
But then you can also be attracted to primary characteristics of one sex and secondary of the other. And not all of the same.
-
You're attracted to what you're attracted, you can't change it.

Imagine what all this, if it went mainstream, would do to kids' heads: "U have to be attracted to ppl u're not attracted to, or you're bad."

No. I had the same argument today. They won't explain why, just call me transphobe at the end. And no, it doesn't make sense.

Pansexuals assume their attraction to all kind of people is a universal & an active choice not an outlier of potential sexuality development

Hey Helen. It's been a great "debate" that started between skeptics/trolls and one trans activist called zinnia. I suggest reading blogs by

Essentially guilt tripping. They are already assuming the conclusion
