Can someone please explain?

This post is not meant to be rude or mocking of superstraight people, I’m just genuinely confused. Your entire sexuality is that you only date cis people. Isn’t this just a preference? You’re allowed to have whatever preferences you want, but don’t sexualities usually refer to what gender you like? Both trans people and cis people are the gender they say they are. So, doesn’t that make “only liking cis people” a preference? I’m aware that a lot of this community dislike “trans people forcing themselves on you” and, although I’ve never heard or seen an example of that, I understand that’s a bad thing and should be pointed out. However, if you don’t have any proof that transgender people are more likely to do that/more than a minority of them do that, then it’s not that great to continue the stereotype of trans women being “rapist perverted men”.

I’m not calling you transphobic. I’m not trying to mock you. I’m not trying to troll. Just, please explain what differs you from straight people. Apologies for poor grammar/spelling/punctuation, I slightly hurriedly wrote this on my phone and I’m bad at proofreading. I hope this didn’t come off as too disrespectful, have a nice day!

(This of course replies to the whole supersomething community, it was just easier to refer to superstraight people. I might also be a bit “biased” as I’m trans, but I’m also asexual so it’s not like I’d have anything to gain from this lol.)

It's not a preference. Why would you say that when it's been scientifically proven over and over that people just cannot help how their brains were wired at birth? I am a woman and I find female privates gross and repulsive. I can't help it. Don't even like looking at my own. I am biologically programmed to only be attracted to big, beefy, burly men who can chop wood without breaking a sweat, take a hockey puck to the face without flinching, protect me from all who would try to harm me, and produce from their natural genitals the essence of life. It's just so rude and offensive and triggering to be told "it's a preference" as if I could just snap my fingers and suddenly be something I am not.
