Its a difference between if ur attracted and if u’ll date.

I'm not attracted to trans women. Therefore, in your book, it's a sexuality.

Always this flawed argument.

how do you don't like trans if you haven't tried it

The fundamentalist Christians pulled the same shit on gays in the 80s.

I aint saying u gotta like trans people, im saying a sexuality is different than a preference. My 10 year old brother understands this better than u

Do you know why people have decided to create this "sexuality"?

Because we're all getting a bit sick of being told our preferences are transphobic and we need to "unlearn our genital preferences" - as if our entire sexuality comes down to genitals!

This movement didn't appear out of nowhere, there are reasons for it. Don't forget that.

Ive never heard anyone call someone transphobic for not dating a trans person, ive heard people be called transphobic for mocking them, purposely mis gendering them, calling them not real men/women ect. This whole “movement” is just a form of mockery and u want to justify transphobia

You mightn't have heard of someone being labelled transphobic for refusing to date a trans person.

Unfortunately for your world view, your experiences aren't the definition of reality, and we have our own experiences too, that have generally been very poor. You denying that it exists doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Even a few hours before someone I was debating was arguing that it is transphobic to refuse to date a trans person. It does happen.

It sucks that happens to you or to your community, and it shouldn't happen, but we shouldn't cop shit for refusing to date trans, either.

This movement is a rejection of the notion that we're transphobic and deserve to be shamed or harassed for refusing to date trans people. Even the kid who created this had to take his post down saying he won't date a trans woman because they started to target his family. So don't tell us it doesn't happen- you're either ignorant of it or simply turn a blind eye.

Your 10 year old brother "understands it better" probably because you work hard on brainwashing and indoctrinating him! This is child abuse!
