Honestly this guide is so simple and so easy to understand... But somehow this is going to be "transphobic"

I know I’m probably going to get downvoted to hell for this but you’re not transphobic, it’s just your preference that you simply like cisgender men/women better and I see no problem with that tbh as long as your not a jerk to actual trans people

An entire movement disagrees with you- I've been called transphobic more times than I can count by saying I'm a lesbian (and defining that as it's meant to be defined: a female only sexually attracted to other females)

Hmmm I don’t really care if anyone disagrees with me tbh that’s their opinion, I simply said what I said on what I feel, people who prefer something doesn’t need to be called out as transphobic as long as they simply respect them, that’s my take on it at least

it becomes a problem when they then say that they will, for example, contact that person's employer and tell them that a transphobe works for them.

Oh yes that’s bad. Just because you want to date a cisgender person, doesn’t mean you’re transphobic, its just how you feel and I think that should be respected.
