I can honestly say that when I’ve refused to date trans folk it’s had fuck all to do with their sex organs and is related entirely to their personality and the vaguely threatening attitude of entitlement they have had.
Yes exactly. A trans person who wants to date in their assumed “gender” and expects their partner to accept them as if they were the opposite sex to what they are and overlook their own actual sex-based orientation, is an entitled twat with no respect for others’ feelings. Hence unattractive.
I also find pretending to be something you’re not and demanding that other people go along with the pretense deeply unattractive so that’s offputting too. It’s not because someone is trans. It’s possible to be trans without being dishonest and expecting people to lie. It’s just that those decent, unassuming trans people aren’t putting pressure on anyone.
and also what always bugs me about this bloody “sex organs”/“genital obsession” argument it it really is NOT just about sex organs. I wouldn’t fancy a trans man even if they magically had a real penis, because I don’t just fancy penises, I fancy lots of things about men, the whole male body, the voice, the shape etc. not as some kind of vehicle for a set of genitals.
