Don’t say, just do.

Okay. So next time you make a post, just tell everyone how you want them to react and make it easier for everyone.

And I’m simply saying that I disagree and don’t think it was a transphobic reason. And I do find it ironic that in a post where you complain about a bigot, you assumed everyone’s gender in the comments based on no info whatsoever.

Apparently if we disagree with you, we are all cis.

Of which, according to your own post, and the content you reference, he did none of those things.

Regardless of gender, preference, what have you….

No one is obligated to date you. Period. And if we take this a step further, they’re not even obligated to give you a reason, yet this man did. It wasn’t personal. He wasn’t being disrespectful. Yet- you’ve labeled him the same as someone that is hateful and refuse to budge.

And based on your edit, where tou assumed everyone gender… you intended this to be an ‘Everyone grab your pitchforks’ style witch-hunt.

Do better. There’s so little time we have here. Having said this, we can agree to just disageee.

That’s not bigotry.

This is bigotry. Any man or woman trans or otherwise can support, befriend and love anyone of any gender of their choosing. They shouldn’t have to do this under duress of being called something they are not.

And my examples remained as close to the topic as could be. Yours reached way out of bounds to illustrate your point.

This isn’t about someone who had a single black great grandparent once way back in history. This is about a person currently, that kihrn have a trait that is u desirable to their preferences in choosing a romantic partner.

Thus has absolutely nothing to do with bigotry unless we are redefining the word.

They want discriminatory laws, and religion in schools. They don’t care who gets hurt to make this happen.

Lemvotes shows votes. So, it’s not private.

Their sexual orientation/preferences.

Rookie numbers.

Okay. You have clearly made up your mind that this is factually and unarguably transphobic so I’m going to step out of the discussion. It seems, nuance has no place here.

Yeah. I am one of those people that dont know what e621 is.

I’ve encountered a few. Not getting involved, but I’ve seen a few of what you’re describing.

It doesn’t.

AI is designed for maximum usage loop. It’s why most of its answers end with questions.

You seem to be making “attractive” a catch all for everything that supports your point here.

At the end of the day, someone can chose to not date a transgender person without being a transphobe. Just like I can chose not to date someone that is 7 feet tall without saying they’re ugly.

It’s okay to not be into someone for whatever reason you’re not into them. This guy was not obligated to date her from the beginning.

It’s not so easy to define though. Gender reassignment has gotten so good that it’s impossible to tell. Which is an amazing thing! However, there are people that have preferences based on criteria they set that determine and influence both who they find attractive, and what situations they are willing to accept in a mate. For instance, I personally don’t like country music. Am I a southphobe? A redneckist? No, but I don’t want to be in a relation with someone that listens to it. It’s not my thing. Yet I am not hateful towards those that enjoy it and in-fact, have many friends that love it.

Now imagine I’m on a date, and it comes up during dinner that they love country music. It’s going to be a no for me. That doesn’t make me hateful.

That some people don’t want their mate to have been assigned the same gender as them isn’t transphobia. It’s just a preference. He doesn’t want to deal with her having once been the same gender as him. That is HIS preference. And it is okay. If he is not hateful, or disrespectful, I’d say it’s not transphobia.

But I’m not the authority on the subject. I’m just trying to add some nuance to the topic. Nothing more.
