Not all trans people have the same genitals, saying this implies they do and is a trash opinion all around. Stereotyping all members of a group is not a sign of maturity.

And saying they don't have any interest in any trans person means it's a personal choice of theirs to do so. It's not maturity, it's just comfort inn their bigotry.

And no, this isn't saying you have to date trans people. Just, that if you do date and you exclude all of them from your dating pool, it's because you're hanging on to some really heavy transphobic ideals.

1. I was supposing the person in question knows which genitalia the other person has. I realize that trans people can be in many different situations when it comes to their genitalia. This is assuming you have met one another and had a mutual interest in each other on a basic level.

2. It is not a choice to not be attracted to certain genitalia. I have personally never been attracted to a penis. Were my wife to transition and part of that transition was to surgically change her body to reflect the gender they identify with, I would support that and love them. I assume our sexual relationship would change however, as I have never been attracted to a penis. I'm not going to say it is impossible but at 36 years old I have never felt aroused by a penis.

3. Relationships do not always necessitate sexual relations but if a person knows that is an important element to them and the other person does not have the genitalia that arouses them, does that make them transphobic?

Again I say this as someone who actively supports the community, devotes time to the LBGTQ community. I cannot in ANY WAY understand what it is like to be anything other than CIS-male, but to basically assume hatred or ignorance from ALL people who say they don't see themselves being involved with someone who is trans is dangerous to me.

I apologize if this seems like some sort of justification for hatred or ignorance. There is no justification for anything other than support and understanding for trans people. I have no doubt that a lot of people have never actually thoughtfully considered what their reaction would be to being interested in someone and what they would do upon discovering they are trans.

My hope would be they would attempt a relationship and see if that interest blossoms. Someone thinking they couldn't handle that is perhaps close minded, but I don't believe all of them are transphobic.
