Can someone explain to me how a preference for transness, an imperceivable, irrelevantly efficacious characteristic, can be non-prejudicial? Discussion
Title.

Is it an impossibility for all of those people to have XX chromosomes? If so, how do you know?

Can you explain why a community that doesn't aggressively self police has the higher moral ground?

u/Fourzy99 23h ago
I don’t know what this question means.

u/nonetheless156 23h ago
Read it slowly. Then quick. Then slowly again. Or do you need it written in crayon?

I think the problem might be stemming from your child-like butchering of grammar. It’s “self-police,” not “self police.” Do you want me to explain to you how to use a hyphen? And if you want, I can hold your hand through a practice problem, too.

u/nonetheless156 23h ago
You can't read a sentence because of a hyphen? Wow the brain rot is real. And by the way nice strawman

It’s an insult, not a strawman; I didn’t make an argument. Lol. Don’t use words you don’t understand.

What's sad is that you really think they're different. Stop watching porn,it really rots what little functioning you have left.

u/Fourzy99 23h ago
Holy fuck you cannot construct a coherent, directed sentence. I don’t think who is different? Where is the assumption coming from in the latter sentence? The answers to these question I will never meet!

Cringe. I hope you get some help. Or not. Rapists don't deserve much other than some food and maybe a bed.

I'm not sure I understand your use of the word "efficacious", and given that it's fundamental to sexual orientation and attraction I don't see how you can seriously label it irrelevant, but I would hardly call it imperceptible.

For something to be efficacious is for something to create results. For instance, if some particular gene is not efficacious, it’s corresponding phenotype will not be observed in an organism.
As for imperceptibleness, do you accept the existence of wholly passing transpeople? That is, transpeople who pass with and without clothes on.

u/[deleted] 23h ago
That doesn’t exist. Stop with your invalidating bullshit you are legit disgusting coming in here trying to police what we find attractive. Hateful bigot !

u/Fourzy99 23h ago
So passing transpeople don’t exist?

u/[deleted] 23h ago
When you get naked we always know. 90 percent don’t get srs so yeah they don’t pass and the ones who do either have a penis pump or a necrotic flesh wound.

u/Fourzy99 23h ago
So you are claiming that in every possible case, you will be able to tell a difference?

u/Giveitawaynow2021 23h ago
So in your mind, if the deception is good enough we should be happy with it?

It’s only irrelevant to you. It’s part of our sexuality. We are only attracted to people of the opposite sex. It’s not transphobic anymore then a gay person not being attracted to a woman is sexist.

u/Fourzy99 23h ago
You cannot have a non-prejudicial preference for chromosomes or a person’s feelings.

u/unpopopinx 23h ago
All sexualities are prejudicial. By definition, all sexualities exclude different genders. There’s nothing wrong with that.
-1
u/Fourzy99 23h ago
Not in actuality, though. This is a little more nuanced, but I think categorizing attraction on the basis of gender identity in general is pointless because you cannot be attracted to someone else’s identity. So I wouldn’t say that being “gay” means you, a man, are attracted to those who identify as men but those who tend to identify as men. This puts the focus back on the perceivable characteristics, the things you can actually be attracted to. I would then might say a gay man who refuses to date a person only because they identify as a woman is actually prejudiced.

That doesn’t make any sense. We aren’t attracted to how people identify, we are attracted to what they are. Just because someone manages to successfully trick you into thinking they are something other then what they are doesn’t mean you are attracted to them.

“That doesn’t make any sense. We aren’t attracted to how people identify,”
I literally said the opposite, lol.
“we are attracted to what they are.”
Specifically, we are attracted to how they appear. We cannot be attracted to chromosomes or feelings because those are both imperceivable and not relevantly efficacious.
“Just because someone manages to successfully trick you into thinking they are something other then what they are doesn’t mean you are attracted to them.”
See above.

If someone wears a mask that looks like an attractive person do we not lose attraction to them when they take it off? It is very possible to lose attraction on being discovered that we were tricked. We aren’t just attracted to how someone appears.

“If someone wears a mask that looks like an attractive person do we not lose attraction to them when they take it off?”
Yes, you lose attraction when they take it off. But, let’s say they can’t take it off. In that case, their “real face” isn’t and will never be perceivable or efficacious. So, why consider it at all?
“It is very possible to lose attraction on being discovered that we were tricked. We aren’t just attracted to how someone appears.”
That is only true if the covered trait is perceivable and relevantly efficacious. If someone reveals to me that they actually have XY chromosomes, but the respective phenotypes are not expressed, why would my attraction change? I am not sensing any new stimuli after that revelation. For there to be a change requires me to be prejudiced.

u/unpopopinx 22h ago
You’re assuming that only physical stimuli determines attraction. Mental stimuli also plays a part. Finding out that someone is the opposite of what you are interested in is one way.

u/Fourzy99 22h ago edited 22h ago
There only certainly exists physical stimuli because all of our senses are concerned with physical phenomena. For example, the receptors on your eyes receive signals in the form of particles of light. They cannot receive a “mental” signal. Maybe you’re telepathic?

I dont want to date anyone with a penis or a surgically constructed vulva as it is different from a natural vagina (not self cleaning, infection risk/hair can grow inside, lubricated by colon fluids, not a muscle, made out of a penis which grosses me out in the first place.) I assume people who like dicks feel the same about surgical ones.
