I’m straight.
I didn’t CHOOSE to be straight, I just am.
Chances are, you didn’t CHOOSE to be whatever the heck you are, either.
So, because I’m straight, I’m not attracted to women. EVEN if those women THINK they’re men.
AND THAT’S BECAUSE I’M A BIGOT AUUUUUGGGGGAAAAAA!!!!
No, really. People think this way.
Two Canadian researchers found out that the VAST MAJORITY of straight people aren’t attracted to trans people. Of 958 participants in the study, 12 percent said they would consider dating a trans woman or trans man.
(Those 12% of people are probably SJWs. Just saying.)
That makes the other 88% of straight people TRANSPHOBIC, BIGOTED A$$HOLES… According to this chick.
Nah, girl. It just makes them straight.
I mean… are we calling gay men misogynists for not being attracted to women? “BUT THEY SHOULD JUST TRY! IT’S SO RUDE AND MISOGYNISTIC THAT THEY WON’T BE ATTRACTED TO LADIES. WTF IS WRONG WITH THEM? BIGOTS.”
No? We’re not doing that?
Riiiiight. Because it’s IDIOTIC.
The high rates of trans exclusion from potential dating pools are undoubtedly due in part to cisnormativity, cissexism, and transphobia — all of which lead to lack of knowledge about transgender people and their bodies, discomfort with these unknowns, and fear of being discriminated against by proxy of one’s romantic partner.
NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE. It’s because I’m not attracted to women. That’s literally IT.
This next part is slightly more realistic.
It is also possible that at least some of the trans exclusion is due to the fact that for some people, sexual orientation might be not (just) about a partner’s gender identity, but attraction to specific body types and/or judgment of reproductive capabilities.
You don’t say.
At the end of the day… I’m literally just not into women. Even if she has a little mustache and everything.
Twitter user @varadmeta BRILLIANTLY breaks down everything that’s wrong with this clusterf**k.
“Virtually all heterosexuals excluded trans folks from their dating pool.” I think I see the problem here. https://t.co/ldHEu3ODkD

BREAKING NEWS: heterosexuals are heterosexual.
“It’s your fault transgender people have mental and emotional problems because you won’t date them.” Now there’s a winning pitch if I ever heard one. https://t.co/ldHEu3ODkD pic.twitter.com/YExvOCzqkI

You know how it’s icky when creeps call women “b*tches” for turning them down?
This is kinda like that.
Reality rears its ugly head at the end of this paragraph. But the first part is a Wile E. Coyote twenty-feet-off-the-cliff’s-edge-and-just-about-to-look-down feat of death-defying insanity. https://t.co/ldHEu3ODkD pic.twitter.com/ZqR4Ye5xVQ

“all of which lead to lack of knowledge about transgender people and their bodies” – Something tells me it’s not “lack of knowledge” that’s the issue here. But that possibility is literally incomprehensible to this person. https://t.co/ldHEu3ODkD pic.twitter.com/MtyNb5QQIi

Yeeeeah. I know everything I need to know about transgendered “men” to know I’m not attracted to them.
Namely… they’re women.
If your definition of “trans equality” is “heterosexual people making no distinction between trans and non-trans people in who they date,” the “long way to go” will take you well past the heat death of the universe. https://t.co/ldHEu3ODkD pic.twitter.com/f2UY8ihLhT

The entire premise of this article is perverse and counterproductive. No one is obligated to date someone. Telling “cis” people they’re “discriminating” by refusing to date trans people is a surefire way to alienate them from your cause. https://t.co/ldHEu3ODkD

We all know what is meant by “date” here. Which is exactly why this sort of “discrimination” exists. But the author can’t admit that. Alas, sexual dimorphism is a thing even in humans. You’re not going to get rid of biology that easily, try as you might. https://t.co/ldHEu3ODkD

EXACTLY. Because once you ACTUALLY spell it out: “Heterosexual people aren’t interested in having sex with people of their own gender” …it seems pretty freaking obvious.
But don’t worry. I’m POSITIVE there’s a bunch of college-aged SJWs who will now purposely seek out sexual relationships with trans people in the name of JUSTICE.
Doing big things for EQUALITY.
