I’m gay so things like this matter to me. A lot of trans rhetoric is deeply homophobic.



What trans rhetoric is homophobic?


Like the idea that a homosexual can be attracted to an opposite sexed person, the term “genital preference”, that a gender non-conforming boy might actually be a girl, etc.

Essentially, the idea that a person could be attracted to the body of the sex they aren’t attracted to is the same idea behind conversion therapy. Anecdotally, I’ve spent way too much time trying to change my “genital preference” for me to think it’s true.


These ideas don’t point towards any animosity towards homosexuals, just a theory about how they might be attracted to trans people. Not really comparable to conversion therapy — no one is forcing you to date a trans man.


Sorry but there is a problem with the idea that I could like pussy if I just put my mind to it


I am not sure why you think this discussion about homosexuals in general and the possibility that they would attracted to trans men impacts you personally. The idea doesn’t hurt you. It’s just an idea.


I'm gay and you are deeply transphobic.

It has nothing to do with your sexual preferences. It's because you went onto a message board for trans people to complain about trans people to other trans people.

Then when they refused to put up with your bullshit you tried to spin it into a grand censorship narrative, rather than bog-standard asshole behavior.


ok

btw the term “sexual preference” is cause for cancellation now (see ACB incident) so you’re still not woke enough to please the mob. Do better.
