OT If you won't kiss a trans woman, does that make you transphobic?

Bullshit. I wouldn't date Ellen DeGeneres unless she gave me tons of money.

I'd break polygamy laws to marry Ellen Page. I know my wife would be pissed. Neither has a chance in hell of happening so I'm not worried.

I'm generally not attracted to black girls for the most part....just saw Halle Berry on tv. Holy shit she is amazing.

 

So using race to hire someone is racist but using race to not date someone isn't?

THAT'S bullshit.

 

Ellen isn't Trans.

 

Tolerance - that should be the word for 2018.

I knew we were really in bizarro world when Caitlyn Jenner didn't support gay marriage because she was just a traditional woman. What?!?

 

I don't want to kiss SlyPokerDog's ass.

Does that make me dog-phobic or ass-phobic?

Or just likely to be the next person banned around here?

 

If I find a qualified employee and don't hire them because of their race that is racist.

If I find an attractive girl who wants to date me and I won't because of her race that is racist.

Not being attracted to a person for ANY reason doesn't make you a racist. If someone didn't think Halle Berry is hot in my opinion they're stupid. If they say "man she's so hot but I could never date a black girl" that's racist.

Oh oh oh, I forgot your favorite thing. False equivalency.

Losing a job and not getting to date my old white ass are not remotely the same thing.

 

DeGeneres is a lesbian. Ellen Page is too I believe.

Not dating DeGeneres wouldn't make me a homophobe. Stalking Ellen Page wouldn't either.

 

Oh and if you want to blame anyone for the type of women I'm attracted to, 90 percent of the blame should go to the Sears catalog.

I was sneaking looks at the bra section when I was 3

 

Not really. We are talking about people we are attracted, if you aren't attracted to someone you aren't attracted to someone, that doesn't make you a racist or a bigot. For me I'm not usually attracted to most black/latino women so if I had no prior knowledge of the person I wouldn't be going up and asking a black/latino women out. Now if I knew them and the attraction wasn't based on purely looks then i'd have no problem asking anyone out.

 

Maybe he likes vaginas on his women, to each their own.

 

Well no it's not homophobic; it's transphobic.

Look our penises like what they like; it's hard enough at our ages getting them hard at all, let alone thinking about something it don't like and trying to get it up.

But it's super simple: if you say won't date someone because they are trans you are being transphobic. If you don't fucking say it like Ginuwine did, and instead say "I haven't ever been attracted to any trans people" then you're not being transphobic. Easy peasy.

 

Neither race nor women are the subject of the OP, but thanks for playing.

 

Wow.

Probably one of the most racist and homophobic statements I've ever heard.

 

D) all of the above

 

Personal attraction is a complicated mix of visual, mental, emotional, physical, psychological factors and experiences.

I can truthfully say my wife is the only person I have ever felt a serious attraction for.

The very idea that someone has to be open to dating someone simply because they are a certain race is racist.

 

Guns are simply tools, for the general purpose of killing living things for a variety of reasons all related to survival.

Although I hunt to put food on the table and carry to protect my family and myself, I have no "fancy, exotic, or so-called assault" guns nor do I target-shoot very often.

The only inanimate objects I am emotionally attached to are my guitars.

 

Okay I think I got an angle on this:

When someone says "I'd never date a [insert group of people here]" what they're saying is "I'm not willing to treat folks in this group like individual people; I've made a judgment call on the entire group already."

This is literally pre-judging. Prejudice.

Everyone is prejudiced, and some prejudices are more acceptable than others. "I'd never date a trans" is more acceptable than "I'd never date blacks".

But, "never say never" is not a bad way to go about life either. "I'm straight, but if there exists a guy who I find attractive and he was into me, I'd go for it... never say never!" is not prejudiced.

My wife of 15 years was not "my type" when we met ("no fatties!"), and we wouldn't have dated if we hadn't basically been tricked into going on a date by a mutual friend. But we really hit it off and we're not only married but great friends as well. I wouldn't trade her for anyone. All because I never said never.
