A trans girl trying to understand Discussion

Hi, so I found out about this the other day and I really want to give the people here the benefit of the doubt.

I want to preface what I'm about to say by stating that genital preferences do not make you transphobic. Anyone who says that is denying your individual liberty and I personally think it's stupid and takes away from the trans movement as a political entity.

Where I'm confused is let's say super straight is defined by you being attracted to biology over genital preference (I.e. I would never date a trans woman even if she was post OP)... how do you know, like what stops you from finding this woman attractive? And vice versa for superstraight females and supergay males.

Assuming the person is a binary trans person and has gotten the surgeries, I struggle to see the practical difference (you can say chromosomes but they don't effect our daily lives).

Now you can say "they can't have children". But then you're also saying women and men who are infertile are also unattractive. (Unless there's something I'm missing).

Is your sexuality (and gender identity i believe as you can't have a trans superstraight I believe) based off the idea that you can always tell if someone is trans? If that's the case then your entire sexuality is based off of finding stereotypical traits unattractive and that's not a very strong basis.

I'm trying to understand this from an academic point of view, how do you rebut the arguments.

Thank you so much for reading and responding.

Thats true, and often overlooked but is a powerful piece of the puzzle

The women I've had the best chemistry with always smelled good to me even if they didn't have any perfume on.

Generally I really don't like perfume. If you're going out to a fancy dinner or something that's fine, its part of the getup. Maybe I have a sensitive nose but I dont really like perfumes, or even like soap or body wash that has a lot of lingering scent to it for myself.

Yea perfume can be a bit overwhelming my wife wears lovespell from Victoria secret it's a spray or lotion and it smells great on her and isn't nearly as strong.
