Seeing as there is a would you date a trans person thread for proper balance I'm sure you will be happy with a would you date a gender critical person. I know we could ask for every other characteristic that people do and do not find attractive, and then we can judge people by there answers. But no one needs to date anyone they are not attracted too.

So my answer is I'd probably be attracted to them but over time if there views were such that they impacted on me negatively then that would be a massive turn off.

The question was posted in good faith, because as people keep pointing out, they want a balanced debate about these things. So both questions are equally valid

They are not alternatives so if you are asking in good faith you need a better alternate if you actually want "balance".

"Would you date a non GC person" might be akin to "would you date an atheist/religious person/lefty/righty" but is utterly irrelevant to "would you date person with bodily characteristives x, y and z".

Me neither.

Im also disinclined to provide them with 'supply' whether online or in real life.

Gaslighting, explained.
(extract)
“Narcissists are like Teflon; nothing sticks. They don’t take responsibility. For anything. They are master deflectors and try to avoid the blame when cheating, stealing and everything in between. They make up complex excuses and can rationalize anything. When they are finally called out, they are quick to claim they are being persecuted, though they may be apologetic for a minute. When someone never takes responsibility for anything – words, actions, feelings – it is a challenging, if not impossible way to maintain a relationship.” Dr. Durvasula, Should I Stay or Should I Go? Surviving a Relationship With a Narcissist" (continues)
