    This I know. I’m a gay man. If I had a sexual relationship with a trans man, & believe me, it’s a definite possibility, I would define it as a gay relationship & I’d still be a gay man. #IAmWhoISayIAm You have a problem with men. Fine. I get it. But leave trans people out of it.

        I'm a straight woman. I love men and I have amazing female friendships. That said I wouldn't want to have sex with a man with a vagina. That's not having heterosexual sex. That would be having lesbian sex. I don't hate women because I don't want to have sex with them.

        I’m a straight man. I don’t perceive trans women as women so it’d be hypocritical of me to repeat religious mantras like ‘trans women are women’ - & cowardly given lesbians are attacked as ‘terfs’ for defining their boundaries and resisting incel-like ‘cotton ceiling’ BS.

        To be honest, I've only met one man IRL who has had a sexual relationship with a trans women and he was openly bi. I don't know one straight guy who believes TWAW.

        And of course no one rails against straight men for not perceiving transwomen as women and dating them - or gay men who balk at the idea of transmen. Only women are demonised for sexual preferences it seems.

        Only lesbians I think. No-one is harassing me for not wanting to have sex with trans men. So the harrassment looks like it's coming from males towards females. Gosh. Who'd a thunk it.

        Gee. It’s almost as though when you strip away the thin veneer of social justice, you still have male bodies that feel entitled to female bodies. Just like they always have. How novel.

        It's really unfair to use the damaging 'lesbians are man haters' trope. Doubly unfair as many lesbians date trans men. I'm straight but wouldn't date anyone with a vagina am I to be called a women hater now? This post saddens me Brian, show some love to the lesbian community.

        I’ve said this so many times. Dating/sex is a discriminatory process. It’s not ‘phobic’ to exclude people from your dating pool. For any reason.

        Just because I find one man attractive that doesn’t mean I should be open to dating ALL men. That’s not how it works. The LGBT crowd spent years asserting that attraction isn’t a choice. But now it apparently is because some people feel excluded?

        Yes indeed, it's so regressive and sad to see gains made being eroded like this. Seems a lot of unresolved male entitlement, cotton ceiling rhetoric sounds almost exactly like incel/MRA/friend zone nonsense.

        You may define it as a gay relationship, but not everyone does - which is okay. Homosexuality is a sexual orientation, after all. It´s so okay if a gay or lesbian does not want to have a sexual relationship with a trans person due to the fact that they are the opposite sex.

        Pride is all about being able to love who you want to love (and by definition, not love who you don’t want to love). To that extent we agree.

        I've never been attacked so far for being a het woman and stating I wouldn't have relations with a trans man or a trans woman. It's just lesbians being attacked and it's disgusting 😤

        Does it make me a bad person that I could not have a sexual relationship with a trans man? Does it make my best friend, a straight woman bad that she could not have a relationship with a trans man?

        A trans man is a man. A trans woman is a woman. Declaring or suggesting otherwise, or giving them a second class status, is the definition of a transphobic prejudice or a lack of understanding, regardless if you define your sexuality by a genitalia preference rather than by love.

        Nope and nope. Declaring or suggesting otherwise is an outright lies and it is not transphobic to understand and recognize biology.

        oh you wanna talk biology? the science created by humans to understand ourselves & the world that doesn’t exist in nature? sure. what part of biology states that gender & sex are the same? ‘cause we’re talking about people, not sex characteristics

        and since we’re on the subject, sex is also a concept created by humans to measure ourselves. humans make their own markers for what counts as “male” and “female”, and plenty of people fall outside these markers. that’s how biology works, there’s variations within species.
