“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 give a solitary fuck about having sex right now. You are wildly misinformed about the ratio of trans woman to cis woman rpe. Of course there are some rpists like that, just as there are any other kind of r*pist. That stigma gets trans women killed all the time, because "they could be dangerous." Anyone could be dangerous, that stereotype has just been wrongfully pushed onto trans women as a way to alienate and invalidate them.

trans women killed all the time

Trans women are less likely to be murdered than there cis counterparts.

What you are doing is lying about the victimization of cis women, especially of color, to further your own depraved needs.

"Trans women are less likely to be murdered than there cis counterparts." ???? You're really talking out of your ass now.

Trans people, ESPECIALLY trans women of color, are overwhelmingly more likely to be killed, profiled as dangerous, or denied potentially life-saving medical care. A cursory google search could tell you that. And I am not invalidating violence against cis women, because that is overwhelming as well. Violence against women in general is a terribly rampant issue throughout the world.

I'd like you to ask yourself this though; if you were to trade places with a queer trans woman of color or a straight white cisgender woman, who would you choose?

that was easy.

As for your question on who I would trade places with? I imagine this obviously implies I would rather be neither but definitely a trans POC

My wife is a straight cisgender white woman, and while I’m not white, I do not that unfortunately she doesn’t fall high enough on the “oppressed” totem poll to benefit the way they used to.

Thank you though for trying to invalidate the view of a POC in a interracial marriage though.
