So what you're saying is that certain orientations are wrong and should be changed, and that others are "correct" based on criteria that you, yourself, have chosen...Again, the issue is harm. Correct or incorrect or bad are completely meaningless terms in this context. If your contention is that we should not care about what harms people, and that harm reduction is an arbitrary criteria that doesnt matter, then feel free to make that argument. --- An Injury to One is an Injury to All https://iww.org/ ...

Correct. And you would still be straight because they're a woman. what if someone doesnt want to be with a transwoman because they dont find penis sexually arousing, is that ok in your book? Theyre arent concerned about whether its straight or gay, they just know they dont find penis arousing, would that still be transphobic in your book? --- "Let's be honest...I'm everybody's type.

what if someone doesnt want to be with a transwoman because they dont find penis sexually arousing Is it transphobic to have a genital preference? I would argue that it is not, using the sort of logic that would be used in legal circles. Namely, this rule can theoretically be applied neutrally across cisgender and transgender people. Thus, the rule of, I am not attracted to people with a vagina or, I am not attracted to people with a penis can be equally applied to both cisgender women and transgender men. The legal realm also provides insight into whether something is inherently transphobic in and of itself. There is a legal concept called the but for test, where but for a certain fact or action, something would not have happened. It is also referred to as the sine qua non rule, which means "without which there is not." In civil rights cases, this is a crucial test to see if individuals are being discriminated against. For example, if a woman was fired for wearing pants to work instead of a dress, and her male co-workers wore similar pants, but for the fact that she was a woman, she would not have been fired, and this constitutes a clear case of sex discrimination. Applying this concept using previous case law is illustrative. After Diane Schroer was offered a job at the Library of Congress, she came out to HR as transgender, and the job offer was withdrawn. The withdrawal was not based on her fitness for the job, but purely because she was transgender. But for the fact that she was transgender, the Library of Congress would not have withdrawn the offer, and this was clearly a case of discrimination based on transphobia. Similarly, imagine a date thats going well. Theres mutual physical attraction and definite chemistry. Then you find out theyre transgender via conversation, and end the date right then and there. But for the fact that the other person was transgender, this would have been a really good date, and you probably would have seen them again. This is discrimination against the transgender person for being transgender. Obviously, this isnt illegal, nor should it be. But, from a logical standpoint, yes, this is discriminatory and transphobic. Similarly, the belief that all transgender people are unattractive to you, and that you could not have chemistry with them, or you religiously object to transgender people, and even when presented evidence to the contrary, is an expression of transphobia.

Sorry but Im not gonna sugarcoat it for people. If you have a preference of only liking white women, thats rooted in racism.

Not wanting to date transgender people because you "feel" they're off based on who they were born as isn't a sexual orientation. So you can toss those dumb false equivalences out the window.

It's not some taboo subject that nobody ever talks about; it's actually very common to discuss it with people, especially when you first meet them or when the conversation turns toward the subject of dating, romance, etc. Do you talk to many people outside of your close circle of friends? --- I write Naruto Fanfiction.
