People seem obsessed with announcing and justifying why theyd never date a trans person.
Its suspect at best.
No it's just stupid to be calling people transphobic for not wanting to date someone who is trans when actual transphobic people exist, and people that want to take their rights away. There's a difference between preference and transphobia.
Tranaphobia runs the gamut from bias to outright calling for genocide. Same with racism. A white guy who makes stereotyping jokes about people of African descent being ghetto? He'd be acting in a racist manner. It doesn't mean his racism is on the same level as the KKK, but if a member of the KKK heard him cracking those jokes it would definitely make that KKK member think that white guy is "one of us" or whatever. And by making fun of black people AND making a KKK member that much more comfortable to espouse their hateful rhetoric, well. That's bad.
It's kinda stupid to compare making a racial joke to the KKK feeling more at home with their ideas, considering they would take anything remotely as a joke and spin it in their own narrative. That's not exactly the same thing as not wanting to date a trans person, which isn't transphobic. I still support trans rights, but because I don't want to date a trans person means I'm transphobic?
I'm assuming that question is rhetorical, or else that you're being 100% serious in which case it isn't worth answering. ---
