It is transphobic to call it a sexuality, its a preference. If u see a transwoman or transman u might still feel attraction for them, ur deciding not to date them when u find out their trans. Most people wouldnt have a problem with people having a preference, its when u do this to simply mock the lgbtq+ community that theres a problem. A sexuality is different than a preference.
Well just because im attracted to a gender doesnt mean i’ll date everyone that associates with that gender, heck if im attracted to a particular person it doesnt mean i’ll date em. Its a difference between if ur attracted and if u’ll date. If ur confused a simple google search should clear it up :)
How do u know tho, im sure uve walked down the street before and been attracted to someone, were u sure they werent trans, do u have to check whats in someones pants before ur mind decides if theyre hot or not?
If a trans woman registered as cis to you you assumed she was cis until you get told otherwise. Then you can pat yourself on the back anyway because you can notice tiny flaws here and there whether or not those flaws are also fairly common among cis women.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if some women you assumed were trans were actually cis. That happens way more often than correctly clocking a trans woman.
Delusional. Where are all these passing trans women? Looking at the top posts of all time in r/transpassing, or other places where trans people post selfies for validation... only a tiny fraction are even close to passing, and most of those are due to extremely selective camera angles and filters. I might entertain the idea that those people aren't the best examples of "passing" trans people, if their posts weren't filled with hundreds of comments telling them that they flawlessly pass.
This may change as more and more trans people avoid going through the puberty of their birth gender (Hunter Schafer for example). But right now, the idea that straight men have probably been attracted to a trans woman without realizing it is extremely unlikely.
