I'm not going to entertain a discussion of whether or not Yaniv is *actually* trans. You don't have to pretend that trans bodies and cis bodies are the same to respect the gender identity of trans people; that's not what anyone has been asking for.

That is EXACTLY what is being demanded when we are told some people have "women penises" or that lesbians are bigots for not being attracted to/dating trans women or that women should be forced, under penalty of law, to provide services on the penis and testicles of a woman.

Please point me to the trans advocacy group that is saying that lesbians who are only attracted to cis women are bigots or that equality legislation means what you say it means. Note: Tumblr doesn't count as a trans advocacy group.

Slate good enough for you? https://slate.com/human-interest/2015/02/cisgender-lesbians-and-trans-women-how-to-mend-the-rift.html …

Mmm, I don't think that article by @ParkerMolloy and @e_urq is making the argument that you seem to think it is making.

It's making the exact argument and an argument that's discussed on here quite frequently by lesbians who are accused of bigotry for not being attracted to trans women.

It literally says that there is a difference between "an honest lack of attraction and feelings of fear or disgust", but that it can be difficult for cis lesbians to tell the difference. I don't see how that's an argument that lack of attraction equates to bigotry.

It literally uses the same worn out argument, made here https://medium.com/@QSE/when-you-say-i-would-never-date-a-trans-person-its-transphobic-here-s-why-aa6fdcf59aca … , that there are also phobias/bigotry not recognized or ignored.
