Or else, just the general fact that it's cis people regulating us out of society and they've gained major ground in America when they elected the fascist Donald Trump to act as president


I'm genuinely trying to understand your point here. So are you saying that cis people are wrong to not date/have interest in trans people? I agree trump is terrible for the trans community, but what does that have to do with this topic? I also understand and agree that it's a problem that trans people are more likely to commit suicide and be murdered, but again what does that have to do with this topic?


Guess I'll keep it short and simple this time: the problem is the concept of deeply ingrained societal transphobia.

it is also reasonable that some of these ideas extend to their dating preferences

Yeah I'm still not seeing the jump from this to murdering people

I don't want to date a trans person, so I guess I'm transphobic. Even then, I'm pretty sure murdering anyone is the last thing on my mind, so what's the point of this logical jump in this topic about dating


At least you can admit it.

the higher rate of trans murder victims stems from the same societal transphobia

...ok

So what does this have to do with this topic about dating. I'm not trying to act like UnfairRepresent with his endless moronic devil's advocate questioning, but jumping to trans people getting murdered in a topic subject that ends at "cis people dont want to date trans people and that's the end of this study" seems like some really dumb misplaced emotional appeal to get cis people to want to date trans people

I might as well post stats about black women and domestic abuse every time someone here says they're not attracted to black women. That will surely change some minds

The word Phobia has come a long way if it now applies to people who dont want a feminine penis in their butt. Or if they dont want to have sex with a vagina that was made by a plastic surgeon.

which means only 3.1% of straight people think you can date a transgender and still be straight


Surely I'm not the only one who has a problem with this conclusion?

For example, I dont think it's gay for a man to have sex with a (pre-op) trans woman, and would never judge anyone for doing so, but at the same time, I'm not attracted to penises and wouldn't have sex with someone who has one.

I also think this conclusion completely ignores the other side of things. It absolutely is gay for a man to date and or have sex with a trans man and surely suggesting otherwise is trans phobic.

You're right about that. Trans men are men. If another man has sex with a trans man, that's gay. Or bi, or pansexual, or whatever. But to say it's straight IS transphobic as it denies agency or validity to the trans man.

You should see all of the straight guys who constantly comment on and DM my hot trans friends. They may not want a relationship, but they are clearly DTF. Some of these dudes look like they came out of a 90s Onyx rap video too.

that makes sense, though. trans is still a heavily taboo thing in society. relationships tend to become public and eventually you have to tell all your friends and family. society isn't at that point yet

plus a lot of people want to have kids (dont bother responding to me with adoption as an option)

It would be very surprising if that number ever reaches above 10% even accounting for people who may still be lying on that sheet.

It's certainly not a negative thing for a straight person to be with a transperson, but it's not something anyone should push for in terms of social acceptance of transpeople. For the average person, a transperson is a transperson. That will never change. Anyone who really thinks acceptance needs to reflect dating and sex is on the extreme side of the argument.

Yes. And there are certainly people that think one cannot support transpeople without including them in their dating/sexual relations pool. Just as there are extremist in the opposite direction thinking transpeople aren't the gender they have transitioned to. But extremists will be extremists.

This is kind of the one area where the rubber meets the road in terms of how far people are willing to take political correctness. You can say all you want about how there is "absolutely no difference" between a biological woman and a transwoman, or about how gender is all some outdated social construct, but at some point our biological instinct kicks in and reality trumps the rhetoric.

The folks engaging in shaming strategies in this topic like gunplagirl to guilt straight people into being open to fucking to transgenders are disgusting. There is no difference between that and attempting to shame someone into being straight via gay conversion therapy by convincing those people to ignore their biological urges.

People are attracted to who they're attracted to. Leave them the fuck alone.

Just a simple and clear point to be made here: why else do you think straight people seem to so majorly reject the possibility of dating a transwoman?

Do you really believe that a ~97% rejection rate is due to reproduction? In which case, you would imagine a 97% rejection rate for women who have had a hysterectomy for medical purposes?

It seems to be, and without pushing any agenda, that the straight forward explanation is that most straight people who categorically reject the possibility of dating a transwoman do so because on some level they still see that transwoman as male.

this is a fundamental misunderstanding of the argument.

cis people not wanting to date trans people is more an indication of larger societal issues than a unique problem in and of itself. we aren't pushing against the dating issue specifically; we're pushing against the system that created it

or how I support freedom of speech without condoning all speech ever said

I think more equivalently: "I can be a supporter of black people without wanting to be a friend to one"
or any sentence in which a statement of support is immediately contradicted by a stance that tells people how you really feel.

When people are pressed on this issue for long enough, it tends to be because they get grossed out, because they cannot push it out of their mind that this person is actually a man.

I'm not, like, chastising people for not being able to fully accept it. But it seems pretty clear as day to me that this is what this is, a form of nonacceptance.

People don't transition because they identify as trans.

No, and I can't say that I've actually interacted with any transpeople for any amount of time that would allow me to determine if I were truly comfortable with it.

But if I weren't, I would admit that I just couldn't get see myself to fully accept them in the way that they would want.

Acceptance of transgenders means treating those people with dignity, respecting their identity choices, and generally not acting like an asshole to them. In other words, just treating them like regular people who happen to have a benign medical condition (read for would-be markers: medical condition is not a mental disorder).

It does not mean buying hook, line, and sinker that they are biologically identical to non-trans women. And it does not mean needing to adjust your sexual preference to accommodate opposite sex genitalia because someone has a certain identity.

Well, yes, the person is biologically a male or female. That will never change no matter the hormones or the surgery. I'm perfectly fine referring to them as their identified gender without the need to even think about their biological sex in 98% of cases, but there are cases where their biological sex is and will forever be relevant. I do think the people who continually need to point out "they are a man" are being overly rude and dismissive of how the person wants to identify.

It's about the clarity of the actual stance, and not hiding behind "support" to mask the lack of full acceptance.

Support and acceptance sound similar, but in this context mean very different things.

Okay I can see your point if you really aren't accepting of them and their gender identity. But if on a romantic or sexual level one is not willing to engage with a transperson than is that the same as acceptance in any other aspect?

We had people trying to, in the past, "cure" (and unfortunately probably still do) homosexuality by convincing homosexual people that they were indeed just misguided heterosexual people. Are we going to now to try and "cure" heterosexuality by redefining it?
