This chick is so manipulative, I genuinely feel sorry for anyone that's trapped in her personal life. If a guy explicitly doesn't want to date trans guys, he's a bigot. If he doesn't mention trans people at all, that's evidence of a silent prejudice among gays somehow and he's still a bigot... as if volatile, intrusive, gross trans dudes aren't responsible for turning gender alignment and dating into such a minefield in the first place. Oh, and don't miss the even tackier comparisons between sexual rejection and "muh right to exist" hidden away in a lovely paragraph accusing other people of making light of rape. Absolutely vile. Is this DARVO???

Yes, it's DARVO.

No one is just their body, but we're definitely having sex with eachothers bodies.

I don't date trans people. I will never date trans people. I will never ever ever date trans people.

They can cry and seethe in their echo chambers. Or they all could start finally dating each other...but that's never going to happen.

👏DATE👏 EACH 👏 OTHER👏

Maybe people who are obsessed with controlling how other people see them and talk about them come across as very poor dating prospects.

"A romantic relationship, at least when it’s first starting out, has very little to do with what’s under someone’s clothes"

Gay men are notorious for putting demographic criteria on their dating profiles, usually (but not exclusively) on the basis of race. Everything from “no fats, no femmes, no Asians” to “whites only” can be found on Grindr profiles

Yeah, I don't want to listen to a woman whine about gay men's hook-up profiles having spaces for information such as your race, your age, your weight, your height, etc. I can barely tolerate other gay men whining about it without wanting to give them a smack in the mouth. The fact is, the material reality of who you are factors into whether or not someone can enthusiastically consent to you. Before Grindr allowed multiple photos, I made sure to mention in my profile that I had a crooked, romanesque nose so guys would fully know what to expect when we met up. I made sure to show my smile so guys could see that my teeth are a bit yellow but ultimately straight, clean, and healthy- I have had way too many guys try and hide that they have dead teeth or gingivitis and then pull some woe is me crap over it because they wouldn't get laid if guys knew in advance.

I can think of at least 3 occasions where I have yelled at men for misrepresenting themselves (one used "myspace angle shots" to make himself look like he weighed less than he did, another was the gingivitis guy [it also happened to be his birthday], the third was a guy who claimed to be 6'4" but was really 5'10" [I'm 6'2"]) and at least 2 of those men broke down into tears. Sex is a full body, sensory experience; touch, sight, taste, smell, and sound all factor in to your ability to consent to sex enjoy it and your ability to experience duress/violation and hate it. This also factors into other forms of intimacy as well (hugging, cuddling, kissing, some forms of dancing, etc). Treating people like broken toys because they don't respond to your touch the way you want them to is predatory.

Why is so much focus on "transphobia" revolving around people not wanting to date trans people? People not wanting to sleep with you is a part of life. You have to accept that. Everyone does. Does it feel good? No. Do you have to learn how to cope? Yes.

I sometimes wonder if they are so deluded about this because they were straight before altering their bodies. Did they really think we are sitting over here in sexual-minority land with massive dating pools like they are? It's like they don't know how to check the weather outside before deciding which body to wear.

Why is so much focus on "transphobia" revolving around people not wanting to date trans people?

Probably because this reveals the truth of whether a "trans" person really "passes": is everyone attracted to them based on the sex with which they "identify"? Since not only is sexual attraction a response to biological sex first and foremost, the parts of us which govern it (our reptilian brain and genitals) don't lie. Unlike our conscious minds, which are all too capable of deception... such as saying TWAW/TMAM.

So it's the ultimate "validation". But its immunity to being faked is the very reason why it will remain forever beyond their reach.
