I affirm trans people’s existence. As someone who lacks empathy, I honestly don’t care about trans rights, nor the suffering they faced, but I know it’s bad and that they’re people too. I don’t see a reason to discriminate, so I don’t.
I don’t deadname. I use the correct pronouns. I’m just only romantically, sexually attracted to, and would only go out with cis men.
I wouldn’t date a trans man with lady parts because of his lady parts. I like man parts. I wouldn’t date a trans man with surgery because he’s female-bodied (I’m simply not attracted to trans men).
I wouldn’t date a trans woman because she’s a woman, though I might like her man parts if she still has them.
I wouldn’t date a cis woman because I’m not attracted to cis women, nor would I have sex or date either of the identified people.
I like masculine parts with a male body. If I meet the right one, I may be bicurious and date women (cis). I like the attention, compliments, and closeness of a woman, so I say I’m bi, but I only really see men as dating material.
I don’t think it’s necessarily transphobic, but I also don’t think you would still have that view if you had seen more trans men. You say you see them as “female-bodied”, but some of the most insanely masculine looking men I have ever seen have been trans.
I remember I used to think I wasn’t attracted to trans women for similar reasons and then I met more and started watching a few on youtube and instantly realized like “oh wait they are just normal women they look like women and act like women why wouldn’t i be attracted to them” (which was then quickly followed by “oh wait i’m a trans woman”, but that’s a separate issue)
When people would ask does X mean they are homophobic I’d say there’s a big difference between people who feel sick seeing same-sex couples kiss and those who say they want homosexuals killed. I’d call the very bad behavior “homophobia” and the minor ones “an aversion to homosexuality”. Does describing your (current) inability to date a trans woman as an “aversion” sound better to you?
Yes, if you refuse to date trans men bcus you think they’re “female bodied” call their parts “lady parts” that means you don’t see them as men
This “parts” language you’re using’s transphobic language you need to excise . No “(man|lady|masculine) parts” . And you MUST care about trans rights
I don’t care about anyone’s rights, sadly. I don’t have empathy so I just genuinely can’t register feelings.
