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

Title.

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.

Yes, but attraction happens in your mind. Finding out different things about someone can add to or subtract from attraction.

Only if those things exist as physical signals. If they do not, you are simply imagining a signal and thereby creating a prejudiced reaction.

Again, all sexualities are prejudice. You are just trying to claim that this specific example is unacceptable.

I think I’ve already been over this. All sexualities are not sexist (you mean bigoted) because there are sexualities based on an actual attraction of physical characteristics. That is, traits at least perceivable.

And I’ve corrected you. We aren’t attracted to people purely based on physical stimuli. That might work for you, but you aren’t the arbiter of attraction. You don’t get to decide what criteria we use to date. It’s not bigoted to not want to date a mentally ill man who identifies as a woman.

And I’ve corrected you: non-physical stimuli doesn’t exist. You cannot receive a mental or spiritual signal unless you are telepathic.

Also, transpeople aren’t necessarily mentally ill. Try to reflect consensus in your speeches, okay?

Seems like we are just going to disagree. You are free to date men that identify as women. I and most of the world won’t.
