since i’m already pissing people off about ‘sexual preferences’
- it’s racist to say you’re not attracted to black people, or any racial or ethnic minorities
- it’s racist/islamophobic to say you’re not attracted to muslim ppl
- it’s racist/antisemitism to say you’re not attracted to jewish ppl
- it’s ableist to say you’re not attracted to disabled ppl
- it’s transphobic to say you’re not attracted to trans ppl
I agree with all of those, but trans is a gender, and one that some people aren’t attracted to. The rest I agree completely though.
‘trans’ is not a gender. a trans man is a man. a trans woman is a woman. there are lots of genders. trans is a prefix, a describing word, it is not a gender in and of itself.
I know transmen are men and transwomen are women quite well, I am a transman, but if someone is attracted to men, they may not be attracted to a transman that has not had surgery because that is not what they’re attracted to. I’m not saying they can’t be, but I don’t think it would be specifically transphobic for someone not to he attracted to someone else because of their genitals, especially if we are talking about purely sexual attraction, not romantic attraction. My apologies if I offended you, that was not my intention.
it’s ‘trans man’ and ‘trans woman’ it’s a prefix, not all one word. you should check out some of my latest posts regarding the assumption that all trans ppl have a certain kind of genitalia etc.
i repeat: it’s transphobic to say that you’re not attracted to trans ppl. the only thing that all trans ppl have in common is that we are trans.
So, one of the problems with saying “I’m not into those genitals” is that how you interact with your partner(/date/hookup/trick)’s genitals is always going to be super specific to the moment and the person, and it’s transphobic to look at a man and say “your genitals are incorrect and insufficiently manly.”
Stop reading now if you don’t want to read personal sexual shit:
I really dig sucking dick, fucking love it - very much my thing. When I’ve hooked up with trans men who haven’t had surgery, sometimes I’ve sucked their prosthetic dick, or they’ve fisted my throat, or I’ve sucked the dick at the top of their vulva - like, it’s super easy to fuck around with someone without engaging their genitals, he could fist you, you could eat his ass, whatever, but Even If You’re Explicitly and Specifically Into Dick, there’s nothing preventing you from doing so regardless.
