But let's flip it
if you call up a gay person (or trans woman) and ask them "would u have sex with a trans man?"
a lot of responses would be "Chile some of them be lookin good but I need real dick in my bed at the end of the day lol!!"
is this truly a transphobic response or a persons way of expressing their preference, in a way which simply may not be politically correct?
And would you have sex with or build a relationship with a trans man yourself? As in, a man who was born a woman and still has their vagina down below?
If not, you're transphobic by twitter definition. You are hateful , you are intolerant .
ffff I mean, have your genital preferences but the response is still pretty transphobic with a smidge of gatekeeping on the side. You're refusing to consider dating all x because you believe all x have y, when that might not be the case. It's the blanket statement that's the issue.
if you're saying someone is "literally" transphobic for not wanting to have sex with trans people , I don't think that's correct
Because I can make that statement myself and hug up on a trans man with no problem 5 minutes later . There's no extreme or irrational fear of them.
I'm just not going down to eat his cooch . I don't think saying that is transphobic . It may be insensitive or politically incorrect depending on who you're speaking with. As in, I wouldn't say this directly to a trans male person. Doing so , especially in a playful manner, could be seen as disrespectful. But I'll say it to another cis gay person in private convo
That isn't what I'm saying and now we're getting into semantics/whataboutisms. I understand the definition of transphobia has evolved, but in your specific example about cis, straight men not wanting to be with any trans women (even if they have the desired genetalia), the fear can stem from fear of association which is why I said toxic masculinity can be a bitch.
Gender and sexuality are becoming more nuanced, so while I am hesitant to label someone as transphobic for making a blanket statement that could be in rooted in transphobia, I don't think it should be dismissed either without looking into the "why".
well I know we are getting into semantics now but you're the one who introduced "they are LITERALLY transphobic" into our mess.
Nfnfnfnfnf I was simply meeting u where u seemed to be at with this.
And of course some people definitely base their sexual preferences and/or chosen social interactions in what could be a need to disassociate themselves in some way ..... Even if they are actually attracted to it . (see pic above of young buck who was seen distancing himself from the trans woman and was later exposed for fuckin them behind closed doors)
That's not what I am disagreeing with
I'm saying just because a hetero man has zero interest in sleeping with another person who will pull out a penis in bed .. it does not automatically mean he is transphobic . Of COURSE it's case by case but I am specifically addressing those who make these outrageous blanket statements . As in, "If you're a hetero man and u don't wanna fuck a trans woman, you're transphobic. Period! Lolz no need to say anything else . Don't care about ur reasoning

"
I am actually addressing people who don't give two shits about the "why".
Does that make sense ?
