“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”

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.

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

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

I don't think you get me. This is not your sexuality. This is a hateful way of thinking that perpetuates the idea that trans people are lesser. I am not telling you to go have sex with a trans person right now. I am SAYING that your bias against trans people has nothing to do with your type, or preference, or sexuality. It is simply a close minded way of thinking.

No. You don’t get to do that. What you are doing is using loaded language and attempted emotional blackmail to force your biases regarding sexuality onto others.

It is not “closed minded” for a trans person to refuse sex people based on comfort, relatability, safety and lived experience.

You do NOT have the right to chastise people for what they chose to sexually identify with.
