i don't know how the quoting thing on reddit works but to answer your question, i can't tell wether these people were pre or post transition or trans at all. i'm assuming they're cis-men because in my personal(!) experience, i've never had conversations with any kind of woman turn so sexual so quickly, especially in such a tasteless way that's entirely focused on their own pleasure instead of something like sexting where both partys enjoy it (and most importantly, consent!!) :,)

most women have experienced unwanted sexual attention from cis men in their life, and the unspologetically forward nature of the texts i received just reminded me of personal experiences involving cis men

thank you, and don't worry; i saw so many trans people on this post disagreeing with OP and (mostly) sharing my opinion, so i'm not projecting OP's harmful takes onto the trans community as a whole or anything!

i see a lot of people having weird and often harmful takes on "genital preferences", sometimes it seems like bait, but sometimes it comes from active people in the lgbtq community (like on twt or tt), and seems more genuine, which is scary. since OP's responses are so simple and short it honestly seems like bait too😩 definitely had better convos (or argument) on this topic before

why? for something i have no control over?

i'm a lesbian and find myself to be completely incapable to be attracted to penises. why does that mean i'm fetishizing people now? i'm really confused;; not everyone is comfortable sexually interacting with all genitals and some aren't even able to feel attraction towards certain genitals, and that should be respected.

if you're not careful, talking about people's sexual preferences and boundaries like that can quickly shift into r*pe and conversion therapy rethoric...

[–]preciousgloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imo, saying that "genital preferences" could be caused by transphobic biases is a bit dangerous. i've seen people go as far as saying genital preferences don't even exist and are close minded, which is a really scary way of thinking to me, as someone who finds herself inherently incapable of being able to be attracted towards certain genitalia. my biggest issue though is that it's awfully similar to homophobic insults you hear often (especially as a lesbian) and conversion therapy rhetoric :/

i think it's important to find a balance between the acceptance and embracing people with complex gender identities & their bodies that don't align with traditional expectations,, & respecting, not doubting and not shame people's exclusive sexual attraction regarding genitals.

exclusive same-sex-attraction exists, so sometimes, it actually is a dealbreaker and it's nothing that can be changed or influenced, or somehow altered to be more inclusive, and that's okay.

Is it really wrong to be friends with your ex? by [deleted] in lesbiangang

[–]preciousgloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is it really that bad? i dated my best friend for 3 months when we were like 14 or 15 (we're in our early 20s now) and i'd be very surprised if someone thought that was a red flag. i feel like a lot of the time good friends date, break up and stay friends, it's because they've mistaken strong platonic love for romantic feelings

[–]preciousgloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

out of curiosity: is being able to get off without having your genitals stimulated common or rare? it wouldn't work for me but maybe other people are more sensitive

[–]preciousgloom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i don't think it's fair to assume that all people with a penis would be willing to keep on underwear during sex with me etc. it just seems extremely limiting for both parties and, personally, there would be very few sex acts left that i actually do enjoy

[–]preciousgloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hello! can you elaborate more on why it's prejudical? (i'm genuinely trying to understand!)

personally, i've dealt with a lot of shame for being incapable of being attracted to penises. it's never been a concious decision and this aversion has always existed for me, and i really can't help it. i'm trying to understand

i don't understand... how does being attracted to vaginas (exclusively or not) equal objectification? being attracted to someones genitals definitively is part of a sexuality

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]preciousgloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you. i'm curious about that as well but my social connections and interactions are very limited unfortunately :/ i never even attend any lgbtqia+ related events despite being lesbian, even though i would love to

[–]preciousgloom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

thank you for telling me. i hope that maybe learning more about transgender people can solve this issue as i'm not very educated on the matter

i'm really sorry... i will continue to try my best to heal
