    Is the transgender person in this scenario pre-op or post-op?

    Honestly, I think it would be impossible to be unattracted to an entire race. There might be some black women I'm not attracted to, but then there are some that are fucking hot. For anyone who tells me that they aren't attracted to (insert race here), I can guarantee that there's some girl out there that's smoking hot that would probably change their mind.

    When I was younger I preferred blondes, but as I got older I started to find brunettes more and more attractive. :dunno:

    It's silly to write off an entire group of women because our tastes change.

    The crux of the original issue is this: if someone defines a woman as someone who was born with the biological parts of a female, and they only want to date/kiss/bang a biologically female person, does that make them transphobic?

    On the one hand, we can tell everyone that they can't prevent other people from doing what makes them happy. If someone wants to become a man or a woman, more power to them, but on the other hand we can't force people to change how they define anatomy. If someone believes that a man is born with a penis and a woman is born with a vagina/reproductive system, and that is simple biology, then that's really their right. Just as someone becoming trans isn't hurting anyone, if someone is unwilling to date a trans person because they believe that they are not truly the opposite sex, that is also their right.

    We can't force people to date someone. That's not one of the inalienable rights that our forefathers spoke of. You can't claim discrimination because someone doesn't find you attractive, because if we could, I can guarantee that there would be a lot of nerds filing complaints against the prom queen.

    Yes.

    The only disqualifier is that the person is trans, therefore you are basing the decision based on that, ergo you are transphobic.

    I fucking hate that word. That should NOT be the word of 2018 because it sucks.

    "I'm tolerant of the gays"

    How the fuck does that even sound?? No. The word is "accepting".

    You accept people for who they are because you can't change them people shouldn't want to. Live and let live.

    It's even part of the serenity prayer.

    God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can't change.

    @MarAzul??

    The problem with this is that you’re treating homosexuality as if it was a choice. “If I ever met a man that I was attracted to I’d go for it.” I have yet to meet a gay person who decided to be gay. They just realized, some at an early age, that they were attracted to the same sex.

    I personally can recognize when another man is attractive, but I have never been attracted to another man. Never felt the old loins stir at the sight of another dude. I don’t have any control over that, any more than a gay person had control over who they are attracted to.

    We don’t call people homophobic simply because they’re not attracted to gay people. That’s not how phobia works. So why would someone be transphobic if they’re not attracted to or interested in dating trans people? What if a guy wants to find someone to have kids with? Relationships have ended because one person or the other doesn’t want to have kids, or can’t have kids. It’s a pretty common reason for people to date and eventually marry.

    I don't bone dudes, ex-dudes, or chicks who look like dudes. Fairly simple and I don't think it's too out of line.

    I'm literally saying the opposite of what you interpreted. I'm saying that attraction is not binary, it's a spectrum, just like gender isn't one or the other but a spectrum. What I was trying to say is that assuming no guy will ever be attractive to me and saying that loudly is to deny myself the possibility that a guy exists that I do find attractive (not by choice but by nature), and that the only choice I'm making is not to deny myself this reality because of some prejudice against gay sex or men or whatever.

    I'm transphobic, homophobic, and a racist.
    Man learning so many things.

    Some of you really do make me facepalm with topics like these.
    I don't even believe you actually think this way, I think you're just posting to get a reaction.
