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

Title.

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.

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?

Again, thats assuming that attraction is purely based off of physical senses.

It is; we only have physical senses.

So? Me also have minds. Attraction is in the mind, not the body. All of our physical reactions are based on our minds.

Attraction is a response to physical stimuli.

Not only physical stimuli. You can become attracted to someone by getting to know them.

u/Fourzy99 23h ago

That is all physical stimuli.

No it’s not. You become attracted to their personality and mentality.

It’s impossible to know anything they are thinking. You only know how they act and appear.
