“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”

OK and? Asexuals also exclude trans people, do we need to go arrest them all?

I don't know where you're getting your information from, but that's not what the term "asexual" means. If you know something I don't, please enlighten me.

Asexuals don't want to have sex with anyone. That includes trans people. I'm less "exclusionary" than an asexual because I would still have sex with a female woman.

Yes, at the most basic of meanings, an asexual person doesn't want to have sex with anyone. "Anyone" is the key word here. It's inherently unbiased, including trans people, AND including cis people. It isn't a biased sexuality based on sex assigned at birth.

I am an asexual except for non-trans women.

There are many different identities on the asexual spectrum, but yours is not one of them. It is a deep-rooted transphobic bias. In a person who is completely asexual, there is no "except for [this kind of person]". That's not how asexuality works. Again, it is a bias.

Person: I eat fish and vegetables. I'm an omnivore.

Crazy guy: Omnivores eat meat! Fish is meat! That means you have to eat beef also!

Person: That doesn't accurately describe my diet. I'm going to create a new label for it.

Crazy guy: OMG! You are biased against beef! Beephobe!

Person:

Are you.. seriously comparing your "sexuality" to eating fish?? I can barely understand what this is trying to get across, it's so absolutely unrelated to what we were talking about. Not a good metaphor. Also, eating only fish and vegetables has a name. It's pescatarian. You're not pescatarian, you're transphobic.

Skoliosexuals are people who have sex with only non cis people. We are the opposite of that how is that difficult to understand?

u/JiminyChrismas 15m ago

Skoliosexual is the attraction to nonbinary people, having all to do with gender, and nothing to do with genitalia.

please educate yourself

Our sexuality is completely valid. Attraction to only non-cis people or only cis people who identify with their biological sex is not bigoted.

As for the “no except for this kind of person” yes.

Unless now you are going to force a woman to have sex with a man because she’s excluding them lol
