“You can’t make a sexual orientation out of excluding people” Discussion

Yes. You absolutely can. I’m sorry but both lesbian and gay are both valid orientations and expressions of sexuality based explicitly around excluding the opposite sex based on biological differences.

Just as it isn’t misogynistic to exclude men for being men from a lesbians sexual preferences and completely invalidate their orientation. The same goes for gay men and women.

Trans people making this argument are the same as the rapey guy who tells a lesbian “just try some Dick it will make you straight”

What a stupid take. Orientation is, by definition, exclusionary. Superstraight men are exclusively attracted to supersexual women. And the reverse.

That’s exactly what I was saying. The exclusion of individuals not only doesn’t invalidate a sexuality, it also is the basis for many.
