Do you agree with the statement that someone not wanting to date a trans woman, or man, is then Transphobic?

Question

I think it depends on the reasoning. If it is because they don't like transpeople or don't believe in people being trans, then it is transphobic. However, I think that it is acceptable not to be interested in someone who is trans, regardless of their looks or stage of transition, if it is for any other reason.

I don't think so. Everyone has a preference. For example, I would never call someone racist because they are not attracted to women of color. It's just their preference 🌸💜🌸

MrOracle · Answer

Absolutely NOT. There's a HUGE gap between being transphobic and not being attracted to trans people.

CountessSarah · Answer

No, and as a tgirl myself, I don't know any trans person who actually holds this position. It seems to just be an invention of tumblr.

looneymalooney · Answer

so basically rape should be the new norm in the vision of the liberal media and advocates. Hey, you don't like me, but I do, so let me use you a bit... sshht... just close your eyes

There is nothing wrong in not wanting to date a trans person, just like some people wouldn't wanna date a person who's had plastic surgeries.
And I think people deserve to be informed of such things before having sex!

Nxtawm · Answer

No that's just having a preference.

Ah yes Riley Dennis of you tube fame, a vapid cretinous self absorbed transgender fucktard who sees the world as transphobic and bigoted or accepting if trans, to him/her/zebra there is no grey area and no in between.

This then stems fro a discussion he had with somebody who he was attracted to who in turn was not even remotely attracted to him

In order to then justify his position he claimed that not being attracted to trans people makes you a bigot.

Ok so I'm going to stop going out of my way to offend him now and refer to it as she or her. She had the weakest of all arguements here because she couldn't apply the same logic to gay or lesbian people however the law if transitive properties applies that if a lesbian doesn't want to sleep with a man then she herself is also bigoted as also applies to gay men not being attracted to any woman.

When you spread it out to cover the whole field then you can see how pathetic the argument is and how short sighted it is and how damaging to the trans community as a whole. The argument can even be stretched then that if a trans person doesn't want to sleep with another trans person they themselves are as bigoted as those they are accusing, what about a trans person not wanting to sleep with a non trans person, well with Riley's argument they are of course bigoted, but wait we now have the get out of jail card in that they aren't bigoted because they are oppressed.

Well that takes us right back to black and white without any grey areas, the problem is that it ignores any preference, that I might say prefer blondes to red heads etc, tall to short or thin to fat or fat to thin. It ignores that I might prefer conversation to sex etc.

And here's where it all breaks down, I don't like to look at penis's if I did then I'd probably be gay but I don't and lots of women don't like to look at the vagina of another woman, so then there is the inherent problem in that physical appearance is always going to play a part in attraction and certain physical attributes are going to affect the overall picture one has of another.

This is the first time i ever heard of such thing.

AzureGirl · Answer

Eh, it largely depends on the reasoning behind not wanting to date a trans person.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Hell fucking no! I don't want to date a guy pretending to be a girl. That does't mean that I am afraid of those guys.

Curmudgeon · Answer

Listen to the claim of the demented: we are "transphobic" because we do not like being deceived and defrauded. And that we must indulge their mental disorder. At the furthest point of transition, a trans woman may have breast implants. They may have had their throat shaved down, their hair removed, their face ‘feminized’. They may have had their penis removed, turned inside out, and an *open wound*, which has to be periodically maintained with cutting, carved in the urogenital area, to create a ‘neovagina’.

They are still not a woman. They still have not changed sex.

pajamasam · Answer

No that's just preference. You can be completely supportive of trans people and their rights without sleeping with them.

Savage_Wisdom · Answer

Not wanting to date someone whose transgender isn't transphobic. Just like a man who doesn't want to date a man, or a woman who doesn't want to date a woman, isn't anti-gay.

LuvMeSomeBoys · Answer

No. It’s a matter of preference, that’s all.

wagsingle · Answer

Sexual attraction is a very complex thing. We all like what we like.

OhWonderland · Answer

Everyone has their own standards in dating.

ApacheGazella · Answer

No, just bc u don’t want to date a certain person doesn’t mean your transphobic.

coachTanthony · Answer

---------It's called having a preference and the people who you are attracted too. Am I a racist if I don't care to date a black woman? Or vice versa?  The answer is NO.

Pamina · Answer

Why is this exact same questions being asked here like every other day? It's starting to get suspicious.

The answer will always be the same obvious one - it depends on the reason. If it is because they have a problem with trans people in general, then obviously yes. That's the definition of transphobic. If it is simply because they're not attracted to them, then obviously no. Not transphobic.

_gigi18 · Answer
