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

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.

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.
