I see very little hatred of gays and trans on this board, certainly using the word hatred way too lightly here, hate is a very strong feeling
It is and, millions, if not billions of human beings hate LGBT people. Half of the elected officials in America openly state their disgust toward them and seek to dehumanize them. What but hatred can move someone to support leaders that seek to do that?

My point is I hate when people talk about preferences and sexual orientation in the same breath. Preferences do not need to be respected. If anyone's opinion towards the LGBT community is affected by people shitting on someone's preferences, then they are bigots that were never going to be on their side. It's apples and oranges.
Okay, would you rather I say my sexual orientation is straight and therefore the vast majority of transwomen don't qualify? Is that better? I don't think so.

Also, what is your sexual orientation? Are you sexually active? Because most straight sexually active males won't date transgender women. Whether anyone likes it or not, that is a fact. This is not hate, this is not discounting someone's gender, this is about sexual attraction, which can not be controlled. Or can sexual attraction being inherent only be brought up when it benefits the LGBTQ community?

what if you want to have sex but upon touching their post op genitals you dont like the feeling of it and thus reject them?
This is kind of where I'm at. I've seen a lot of pictures of post op genitals and while the surgeons do an amazing job, there is still a visible difference between surgically altered one and women born with one. So I really don't get the argument that it's just accept it or it's transphobic.

It is transphobic if you find the person attractive enough to want to have sex with them without knowledge that they are transgender. Then with knowledge that they are transgender don't want to have sex with them. But still you have the right to have sex with and deny sex to any person you want, so really it is fine just don't be a shithead about it. You could simply tell them that you find them attractive, but you are just not mentally capable of going any further with things at this time.

If you just don't find the person attractive then it is a preference thing.
I wouldn't call that transphobic. People are most often attracted to certain genitalia. A dude may wanna stick his thing in a vagina so her having a penis could be a deal breaker.

But I hate those leaders. I am very liberal and I support the LGBTQ community with my votes, with my money, with my marches, with my friends. But fuck it, none of that means anything and I am a bigot because I am not into transwomen. Give me a fucking break.

How many trans women have undergone sexual reassignment surgery?

Plus it sucks for a lot of trans women that they had to transition late and are thus not attractive in the eyes of most men.

But if we're talking about a dude who won't date a gorgeous peen-free transwoman that he has chemistry with... That's more of a discussion.

I think having genital preference is a perfectly valid reason not to sleep with someone. But having the blanket statement of not dating any trans person at all is pretty transphobic.

I have stated that I would if the conditions of your last paragraph are met. But I don't know what the surgery part is like. I might have an issue, I might not.

Maybe. I think a lot of our generation will views trans people the way the generation before viewed gay people and the generation before that black people.

A lot of reluctant acceptance and 'tolerance', nothing close to outright hatred, but nothing close to fully embracing and supporting either.

And then in twenty years those people may look very old fashioned

But I feel most here do embrace and truly support it. The question is about dating and sex.

Yes, I meant fully transitioned.

I would say if they are pre-op then it is obviously a preference thing.

Like.. A vagina opens and welcomes a peen when you warm her up.. But a post-op vag seems like it would just be an unpleasant death grip that struggles to accommodate penetration. I mean, I've watched it in porn even and that's exactly what it looks like as well.

But if she's really special that's the kind of thing you can get over. I dunno.

Even still, I wouldn't scrutinize someone that didn't want to get involved with a surgically implanted Vaginas too heavily. There's guys out there that don't want anything to do with women that get ass or breast enhancements. No shame in a man who prefers natural breasts/asses.

Look at the way women talk about short dudes online

And the way guys talk about fat chicks online. I think gleeful, enthusiastic dismissal as a dating option can fall close to hatred. Or at least be interpreted as hostility by the other party

Some people dont want to sleep with fat people, short people, old people but that doesnt mean they are Cacomorphobic, Achondroplasiaphobic, or Gerontophobic.

Inb4 gunpla saying disgusting things about the other side and the usual suspects backing her.

And if you call them out on their behaviour the mods delete your messages.

This is just fascinating. She can call you a bigot and transphobe, but if you call her a bigot and cisphobe the mods delete your post but leave hers alone.

How about some mods weigh in on this? @Error1355 ?

I think it is a little transphobic to say that you would never date someone who is trans. Like, let's say you never knew they were trans and fell in love... would you just not be with them because they are trans? Does that not speak to a little transphobia?

Let me put it a bit different. Say you fell head over heels for someone, fell in love. You then find out they have a fake leg. If someone left that person because of that, would that make them bigoted against handicapped people?

Bad example

People are attracted to genetaila and I always think its swept under the rug during these discussions

No matter how you explain or word it, I am not attracted to a penis and I never will be. That doesn't mean I hate anyone that has one...

Why is it about sex anyway?

A transwoman will have certain things different. Voice, physique, genitals unless operated. Then of course she can't have children and in some places in the world isn't even legally a woman which could potentially be detrimental to your marriage if you end up marrying her.

There's differences and complications is what I'm saying. They don't have to matter to you but if they do it's not necessarily transphobia.

You should be entitled to say 'I prefer X to the exclusion of all else'. You should not be shamed for it. Why are you shaming people for loving what/who they love?

I dont think I could ever mistake a transwoman as a cis woman there are some pretty covincing ones out there but if I knew this person over a decent amount of time I think I would eventually catch on. The male skeletal structure never changes with hormones and theres certain features that are a dead give away.

But even assuming we fall for this and use the fake leg example. That one is easy for me because I thats another preference I think I wouldnt be able to accept. Again I am having a hard time believing I wouldnt notice a fake leg but still assuming they kept it well hidden I would still be disturbed by it. This doesnt mean I hate handicapped people but I am entitled to my preferences and certain things are just a turn off, penis being one of them.

I dont choose what makes my genitals tingle.

Ah, you're already on to the "I could 100% pick out a trans woman" step of this discussion.

As post 70 said already, it's a preference, but also transphobic. Not an either/ or, and making it that way is simply a false dichotomy.

Preference.

Nothing wrong with it.
It's my preference that when I go out in public, no cis men interact with me whatsoever. Nobody gets hurt by this preference. They just, you know. Make me uncomfortable when they exist near me. They need to back off and leave me alone, it's my valid feelings and I'm not gonna let any of you tell me I'm wrong.

I'm finding it very hard to understand what you are referencing

Since when does sexual attraction have to do with a general interaction with someone?

Excuse me, did you just interact with me when you know I dislike it? It's a boundary thing. Step off. It's just my preference that you never do that again, thanks. :) /Sarcasm

Do you get it now, or do you need me to explain nice and slow, breaking it all down?

that said id totally be up for sleeping with one or dating one but its the stigma behind it that kind of freaks me out. and i dont think i would really want to be doing anything to their dick though

Toyota, shut up. Please. Plenty of girls are happy with the results they have, and the surgery technology and procedures themselves continue to improve over time.

If it's "She's actually a man", even if fully transitioned, then yeah that would be transphobic.
