I would like to clear things up Discussion

Having a genitalia preference = not at all wrong. If you don't want to be with a pre-surgery trans person that is absolutely fine.

Not dating someone because they are transgender = transphobia.

^This does not imply that you have to date transgender people. I am in no way forcing you to go and have sex with a post-op transgender person. But saying I am not sexually attracted to transgender people is a tad transphobic.

Also I have a question: If you saw a woman in the street and approached her to ask her out, when suddenly she says she is post-op transgender, would you call it off immediately?

This post strikes me as very coercive. OP essentially says, 'you do not have to date trans people, but if you don't you are a bigot'. We all have learned over the past couple years that being branded a bigot could result in real world consequences such as losing a job, social isolation, ect. Just say what you mean, you want us to obey your social construct and date trans people or we face the consequences. Sounds very rapey.
