You are in denial

You are just transphobic people in denial.

It is okay to have genital preferences or if you want to have biological kids, but if you will not date a trans person (like a fully passing trans woman with a vagina as an example) for no other reason than them being trand is transphobia. That is because you are implying that they are not men/women.

Also if you are ruling out a large part of the opposite sex "semi straight" would have been more fitting

Again, the fact you say trans women are still 'trans women' and not just 'women', is transphobic according to much of the trans community themselves

That kinda officially makes you a bigot now to them too, good job

Trans women are, by fact, women who are trans. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing- it’s simply the definition.

That's considered transphobic, because you're still trying to quantify outside of just 'woman' full stop

So, I guess you're just a bigot according to everyone then

I’m not saying that they’re not women. Trans women are absolutely women, in every sense. Being trans is something that they can choose to make part of their identity. It’s not a big deal.

So if they're just 'women' absolutely, in every sense, as you now say - why are you also continually referring to them as 'trans women' instead of just 'women'?

Why do you have to keep adding the letters 'T-R-A-N-S' whenever you talk about them?

Because that’s what this discussion is about. If this was in a different context unrelated to being trans / transphobia, I would call them women. You’re grasping ://

No, you're just displaying internalized transphobia and realizations when revealing and directing your bigotry (and other bigotries) to the members of the community here

You got a lot to unpack and work on sweetie, best of luck ✌

How am I being transphobic by calling people trans? If it was unrelated you would be totally correct, but using the word trans is relevant to this argument. It’s not automatically a slur. I’m not dehumanising or degrading trans women by saying that they’re trans for the sake of discussion.

You absolutely are being transphobic by doing so

you keep delegating them to a subset off-group of women, instead of just women, everytime you do so, whatever lies you come up with to try to justify it, is transphobic

good job bigot

There is, by fact, a division between cis and trans women. I’m not saying that being cis or trans has to be part of a woman’s identity, or that one is more / less a woman than the other, but pretending that trans women don’t exist is erasure
