    Reminds me of Buck Angel telling transphobes he’d have to use the bathroom with their daughters if he were forced to use the one that corresponded with his sex at birth.

      I imagine the transphobes just start twitching and smoke comes out their ears while they go “DOES NOT COMPUTE… DOES NOT COMPUTE…”

            I get the sense that they’re attracted to (some) trans women and uncomfortable about it and what they think it means about their sexuality.

              For any person who is in the described situation: if you find someone attractive who happens to be MTF trans, then it doesn’t really say anything about you, if you’re a straight/cis man. The individual is intentionally trying to pass as female (because that’s what’s comfortable/appropriate for them) and you “fell for it”, or more appropriately, you were convinced by it. They succeeded in their efforts to present themselves as female. That’s it.

              When you find out that, maybe they had a penis, or perhaps they still do, and that’s a turn off for you, it changes nothing about who you are or what you like. This is what we like to call a “sexual preference”. Your sexual preference is entirely your choice. Whatever you like in a partner is your preference. The reasons why you like that in a partner, may be bigoted, but simply having a preference does not, and should not, say anything about you or what you stand for.

              You like what you like.

              How you react when you “find out the truth” will absolutely speak volumes about your character.

      This really does get at the hypocrisy at the heart of these attempts to dictate which bathrooms people are permitted to use. “No, I don’t want them using that bathroom either. I don’t want that person or people like that person to be allowed to exist at all.”
