what should someone call themselves if they're cishet and only attracted people of the opposite sex who were assigned that sex at birth

inb4 "bigot" lol

Bigot really would be accurate, though, in this case. Or at least transphobic.

Allow me to explain:

I would never date a copthat is my preference. But I dont feel the need to try and make a sexuality out of that because not liking cops isnt a sexual orientation, because cop is not a gender.

There isnt a word for people who are straight but only attracted to blondes, because that isnt a sexual orientation, its a preference, because blonde isnt a gender.

A straight woman might have a preference for men with facial hair, but we dont make up a new word and call that a sexuality, because bearded is not a gender.

Some people only want to date someone who wants to have children some day, or even is able to have kids some day. But neither wanting kids or being able to have kids is not a gender, so that preference isnt a sexual orientation.

You can be straight (or gay, or bi, or pan, or pretty much any orientation for that matter) and have a preference for cisgender partners. But, as you can probably extrapolate by now, its just a preference, not a sexuality, because trans isnt a gender.

So, if you have a preference against dating trans people that is so strong you feel you need to make a whole sexuality out of it, to have a pride flag for it, to announce to the entire world at the top of your lungs that you are somehow biologically incapable of feeling attraction to trans people that means, to me, that youre just a transphobe.
