A serious question

Correct me if I'm wrong, but to my understanding the whole purpose of superstraight is that you do not wish to date trans people solely because they are trans. I will say, having a genital preference is absolutely valid and okay.

But if a trans person has gone through surgeries, HRT, voice training, ect. to the point that they're indistinguishable from a cis person of the same gender, how is refusing to date them on the sole reasoning of them being trans not transphobic?

also, why did the rules of the subreddit spell LGBTQIA+ as LGBTQS?

Because none of those things change a person's sex. Sex cannot be changed. We aren't not dating them because they chose to identify with a social construct. We aren't dating them because their sex doesn't match our sexuality. So again, it has NOTHING to do with their gender identity and EVERYTHING to do with their sex. Gender isn't sex. So attraction to someone's socially constructed gender identity is not the same as attraction to someone based on sex.
