I don't believe it is bigotry. If you refused to be friends with them, to validate their gender identity, that sort of thing? Sure.

Knowing the body type that you are attracted to and thus not dating someone cause their body wouldn't attract you isn't bigotry.

This ignores the obvious that trans people can look just as good as cis people of the prescribed gender with sufficient time on hormones and/or surgeries, and hence presumes you can tell at a glance that someone is trans.

Which, from all of the ruckus with the bathroom bills actually resulting in attacks on cis people because transphobes don't know what a trans person actually "looks like", clearly you can't.

Hell, at minimum you're also assuming they don't have the desired genitals, which is the usual point of contention.

Like. There are perhaps stages in the trans person's transition that you just won't be attracted to, and that's fine. But not all trans women have penises, not all trans men still have breasts and soft skin, etc. etc. etc.

So to say, fully surely, you would not date any trans person - regardless of their presentation, appearance, stage of transition, desired final destination, or any number of those factors? Well, either you're not for dating people in general, or you actually have something against trans people or view them as lesser or some other bigoted nonsense, and need to re-examine yourself.
