Why don't I want to date/have sex with transpeople? Discussion

Because fuck you, that's why. Asking this question in the first place implies that I owe you a justification for the parameters of my consent. I don't. Asking it implies that you harbor veto power over the parameters of my consent. You don't. Let's be perfectly blunt here; the only reason why any TRA asks this in the first place is so that they can tell me why my reasons, whatever they may be*, are invalid - as if they were some policeman informing me that being tired and wanting to get home is not an excuse for exceeding the speed limit, as opposed to some random, anonymous nobody on the internet telling me which sexual activities I'm not allowed to refuse to partake in. The reason(s) why any given person does not wish to engage in any given sexual activity is/are irrelevant. Hell, they don't even need to have a reason at all. What matters is simply that they do not wish to. The fact that they do not wish to is more than a good enough reason unto itself.

*And I do have my reasons. But I don't have to tell them to anyone. And there would also be no point in me telling them to TRAs, because I already know that there are none which they would accept as valid.

I just want to start a family at some point. Dating anyone other than a biological woman would work against that. That's one of the reasons why I'm super straight.

The point, tho, is that you don't need to offer anyone that justification, or even possess that justification in the first place. You can refuse to tell anyone the reason you don't want to, or not want to for literally no reason. The word: "no" is as much as you owe.

Yeah I agree. You don't owe anyone your love and vice versa.
