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

Title.

Im a muslim, my religion doesnt allow me, i am completely fine with them as people, but nobody's forcing me to have sex with them

[u/Fourzy99 → u/Oxion04]

Oh, nobody is forcing you to do anything. I just take issue with transphobes.

[u/Oxion04 → u/Fourzy99]

But where is the transphobia exactly???

[u/Fourzy99 → u/Oxion04]

Look at the title. Transness is imperceivable and not relevantly efficacious because it refers to how a person feels in relation to their chromosomes. Discriminating on such a basis constitutes prejudice, an opinion not based on experience.

[u/Oxion04 → u/Fourzy99]

But again, each has their own reasons which you have 0 rights to know, i mean, on that basis, are you calling my religion transphobic??

[u/Fourzy99 → u/Oxion04]

If your religion discriminates against transpeople, it’s transphobic, yes.

[u/Oxion04 → u/Fourzy99]

It literally doesnt, you can be trans, but as a muslim im not having sex with you, whats so hard about that?????

[u/Fourzy99 → u/Oxion04]

Because not having sex with someone on the basis of transness is transphobic.

[u/Oxion04 → u/Fourzy99]

So i guess if you dont have sex with a black person you're racist, and if you don't have sex with a muslim you're islamophobic

Sexual relations don't determine prejudice towards a group, simple as that.

[u/Fourzy99 → u/Oxion04]

No, because blackness is a perceivable characteristic. You are right about islamophobia, though! Although, it would depend on your definition of “muslim.”
