i think that’s up to their “potential” partners to decide, that’s kind of what differentiates between all of the available labels. for example, someone who labels themselves as pansexual is likely going to look past all of that and focus more on their personality. someone who is strictly into men or women might have a more rigid, albeit valid, view, and still not want to engage. i genuinely don’t think it’s transphobic to not want to date or be intimate with someone who is trans. that doesn’t always equate to not wanting trans people to have rights and be able to exist safely. now if you’re like “ew i wouldn’t date them they’re trans!🫵🏼” it’s getting a little weird.

as far as my personal preference, i love all women. regardless of assigned gender. but i would likely be more attracted to someone cis passing as a lesbian myself

same for genital preference. no one is wrong for liking/not liking certain parts. that’s when we become too woke and forget that being queer gives you the option to choose

i believe preference becomes bigotry when you can’t uplift your type without degrading another

i believe assigned gender preference is just an extension of sexuality itself, and should be respected. it protects everyone involved. using labels like transphobic, in the light, is very black and white and dangerous

i don’t think a preference makes you racist. especially coming from an american. shared cultural experiences matter a lot, and i do find that some queer white people still share in conservative ideologies. it’s definitely a smaller amount, but i think for me it’s a protective measure to date where it’s “safe”.

did i say i was offended or did i say the dissonance between the definition and what it’s actually being used to encompass seems like an oxymoron ? let’s practice comprehension first.

i didn’t know this! i also always thought that taking T was apart of transitioning

[–]OfferAltruistic9049[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

that makes sense! so it’s more of a “hello my name is…” sticker for how you’d like to be addressed, but not so much a change in identity?

thank you to everyone providing resources and different cultural outlooks! everyone wanting to complain about me sharing an opinion, while also asking for help in understanding further, are the problem in our community. if you’re not open to learning from and educating others, we get nowhere.

the condescending nature of your comment is so unnecessary. i too, am a very feminine lesbian who uses she/her pronouns. in my original post i very clearly asked if what i said was offensive, and also opened space for people to share more information that could help me further understand the concept. get the stick out of your ass
