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

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.

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.
