The point of such discussion is not, EVER, to exhort anyone to have grudging sex without enthusiastic consent.

The point of such discussion is to exhort folks to examine their inherent discriminatory prejudices (bigotry).

Going to need to ask how these are different. They look like the same picture to me. If you're calling someone a bigot for not doing something then you're trying to get them to do the thing they don't want to do.

And that's not even getting into how horrifically homophobic it is to tell lesbians they are bigots for being lesbians.

Also comparing lesbians not wanting to sleep with males to being racist towards Asians is a really bad look. It's not stereotypes that keep lesbians from sleeping with males, it's the whole male part.

What insanity. The author could have saved a lot of time and energy had he just said "shut up, ladies, take the D and be happy it is gracing you with its presence."

While a man's penis is an object of great pride, a trans woman's member is often a source of dysphoria and shame. A man's penis swaggers and struts, conquers and acquires, penetrates. A trans gal's genitals generally carry none of this energy.

This is true, my penis conquered the new world

I don't know what that article has in larger amounts, faulty rationalizations or logical fallacies.

For example :

Let’s be honest with ourselves - what leads us to build walls is fear. Prejudices lead us to fear other races - not too long ago, White people kept Black people from using the same bathroom. Keeping others out makes us feel safer. However, another way to feel safe, without being exclusionary, is to challenge our prejudices. Today, we would find it offensive and preposterous if a women’s bathroom excluded Black women, or handicapped women.

Let's see. We have false equivalence ( as in transphobia = racism ), then we have strawman ( attacking the racial discrimination argument instead of addressing sexual predators inside trans communities ) and finally we have appeal to emotion ( "I am right and you are wrong because I have to 'feel' safe" ). Lastly is the rationalization that just because one type of discrimination is unjustified, all forms of discrimination must also be ( funny enough is the same type of rationalization that pedophiles use ).

And that's just one paragraph, the entire article is rife with those.
