Surely they wouldn't be gay then?
Gay men date other gay men, or they're bi.
Are we changing meanings of words randomly again?

You know trans men are women don't you?

ANd be careful you may lose that left leg.

You sound drunk. Best go get some sleep, homophobe.

it really makes you realise how fragile women’s rights are in this society, when you appreciate that these people did so much damage to them.

They can always just identify their leg back though, apparently we do things like that now.
Today I'm going to be 23, NOT a rather haggard 45.

Tescos was sooooo transphobic to me about this the other day, they didn't even ID me for wine even though I TOLD them I identify as 17 so they HAD to ID me!! It was disgusting! Transphobes.

LOL

Why on earth would a gay man be interested in a fanny?! What utter nonsense. Bisexual man, absolutely. But it's kind of the definition of a gay man that they're not interested in people with vaginas.

I agree this is rampant homophobia. Lesbians being expected to shag a man who says he's a woman, is exactly the same attitude of those foul men who think lesbians 'need a good seeing to' 🤮 to 'cure' them.

Just trans away that gay. Ironic that the trans lobby calls anything and everything 'conversion therapy' whildt trying to force gay people to shag people of the opposite sex. Apparently an irony bypass is mandatory when transitioning.

It's completely unacceptable. The pub chain needs for people to be shouting just as loud about homophobia as the TRAs are shouting about (non existent) transphobia.

Well I know a huge amount of gay men. Not one of them finds a fanny appealing at all. Not one!

Well they sure wouldn't be gay if they were! It's mindboggling these people are so homophobic (stupid?) they cannot accept same-sex attraction.

From the article title posted upthread, I'd say what gave away the penis is that they were wearing latex and had a visible erection.

Transmen are women.

Have you ever met a gay man……………………………………………? 🧐

Enjoy your birthday 🎂 have a great day

Yes of course I have have you ?

Okay

Yes. Which is how I know the blindlingly obvious, which is that gay men are not sexually interested in women. Which is what transmen are.

You don’t seem to know that, hence me asking you that question.

You may have "little knowledge and experience" of transmen, but you have zero of gay men if you think they won't be put off by a vagina. All the gay men I know would run a mile in the other direction rather than shag a transman.

It's almost funny how we get told that nobody is pressurising women to accept penises. Yet any group that sets up for women only seems virtually guaranteed to get abuse

If I was a journalist I'd do some experiments and investigations.

Really?
Is it?

Operation Let Them Speak and all, but this is cringe.

You can't help who you are attracted to sexually.
Trying to force someone to have a relationship with someone is abuse.
Saying you aren't attracted to someone isn't "phobia".

Well they wouldn’t be gay then would they?

Are you saying someone with a penis shouldn’t declare it before getting into bed with a lesbian? Because that counts as rape/sex by deception and people have gone to prison for that. There was a case of a female pretending to be a man who got 5 years I think.

?

You need to gain more knowledge then. Obviously that little bit you have is not enough.

@OwningAllMyMistakes

Even if you do know some gay men who would be fine with a transman, can you not see that some may not be ok with that? And that lesbians are not transphobic if they do not want to have sex including any penis?

About 6/7 years ago, i was out on the razz with a couple of lezzer mates. (this was a bit before i got to the let me break it down for you thread, i was young and naive).

We were talking about our various experiences of on line dating. They chuckled and said it was over for them, over run with lady dick, and saying you didnt want lady dick would get you banned. I didn't believe them, they made me a profile and by 1am of the 20ish responses one third were clearly male and some of the rest could have been.

I was enraged on their behalf, they were much more sanguine. It was an important moment on my road to terfdom.
