Time and time again I’ve had to see posts that say things like “being attracted to men proves sexuality isnt a choice”. It’s such bullshit.

Maybe I'm just sheltered but I don't think I've ever seen gay men say this once let alone "time and time again" 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Lol a "gay trans guy" complaining about something that is usually in the context of straight women.

Time and time again I’ve had to see posts that say things like “being attracted to men proves sexuality isnt a choice”. It’s such bullshit.

I’ve been struggling lately with feeling like if I was at least attracted to women in any form, i’d be happier. But then I start thinking about it, honestly even if my attraction was completely my choice I’d still choose to be attracted solely to men.

Because you're heterosexual. Ofc you'd choose to be with men, you're incapable of being attracted to other women. Just like gay men are incapable of being attracted to you. 🙄

I mean, why wouldn’t I? The way that they love, the things they say and the way they feel are all so concrete in my mind. I don’t think its fair to expect every gay, bi or pan man, etc, to preface his sexuality with “I know its wrong” or “I can’t help myself” or “most men arent sweet like this” or whatever. Of course we live in a world where it can be dangerous to open up to a man but holy fuck it is astonishing that mlm dudes can’t just post happily without prefacing it.

She's"not like the other girls", she's so much better than us, she can only relate to and identify with her fellow full human beings; men. Misogynist to her core. 🤡

I dunno, this is probably word salad but I’ve been working all day and I’m tired of people treating mlm love like it needs a content warning or is inferior to other types of love.

Pot meet kettle. Gay transguys are some of the most misogynistic, homophobic people. Literally thinks she can be a better gay man than gay men

Eta:

Forgive me, im not at all saying your experience is invalid, it's just whenever ive seen a post like this it's always from a straight woman's perspective. I've legit never seen it in the context of mlm. I think straightcis people got their own shit to work out on their own time which would lead some to talk about men this way lol

LOL her clownworld brethren are just as clueless. Y'all are part of the straights who need to get your shit together! Y'all are so uncomfortable with the rigidity of heterosexual roles and norms that y'all are destroying your bodies and "choosing to be gay men" so you can express your heterosexuality in a way that doesn't feel completely degrading. 🤡🤡🤡 (I don't understand how larping as a gay man and significantly decreasing your dating pool is preferable to just having higher standards for the type of straight/bi men you date as a woman...not all bihet men are trash)

My attraction to men isn’t unfortunate. I love men. Men are beautiful. My attraction to men was fundamental to me realizing I needed to transition and be my authentic self, which is to live as a gay man. I have rich relationships with people of all genders, and there is the good and the bad for any demographic of person. I have separated myself from people who make me feel guilty for being myself. I fought for this.

The comments have the best crazy! Usually I'd say attraction to anyone is never an unfortunate thing but since this woman's attraction to men seems to be the source of her hatred and self-harm journey, yeaahhh your attraction to men is very unfortunate. Both for herself and the poor gay men who have to deal with her.

IN HER MIND because it's a fantasy. She is fetishizing a fantasy of how gay men are created BY her. This isn't just homophobic & sick but also pathetic & embarassing.

She destroyed her body with testosterone because of a UwU gay men UwU fantasy she made up. If it wasn't real I wouldn't believe it. Absolutely insane.

Just wait until her fantasy gets destroyed by some not so UwU gay men. Then she will bitch & moan about how mean gay men are and say homophobic shit.

Ah yes only male love has validity and it's totally gonna be same as in an AO3 or a Wattpad fanfic.

(Not saying only liking men is political lol but this really comes of as a type of woman who only values men in her life.)

I get this constantly in mainstream queer spaces online

hatred towards men as a whole just seriously needs to be stopped

Bitch, your tribe created that "queer space' and hatred.
