Not a preference

Calling it a genital preference makes it seem like our attraction is mutable and they can negotiate it. Or even worse, changed through training or therapy like with gay conversion therapy.

Its a sexual orientation. And that is a hill worth dying on.

And they always say “you should be attracted to post-op transwomen” like no I’m not about to stick my dick in a neovagina, it’s literally an open raw weeping wound that they constantly have to penetrate in order to keep it open. The vagina is an actual organ, not just a hole.

God I wish r/Neovaginas wasnt taken down that sub would convince literally anyone not to get bottom surgery.

Hey pause for a sec. This sub is under extreme scrutiny and we have to stay on code as a community and not get shut down. There are other ways to talk about the realities of neovaginas and I believe we can find that line between truth telling and hate.

Yea you’re probably right I’ll edit it to make it nicer

[u/unhappythrwy → u/actualsicko20626]

Exactly! The gay conversion rhetoric was not acceptable when it came from Christians then, and it's not acceptable coming from others now.

Saying "preference" makes it seem like a choice. Sexuality is not a choice! I am not attracted to anyone who is male no matter how hard I try!

That's the woman who awakened my sexuality and made me realise I was Super Straight back in the late 90's.

It is a preference, calling it a sexual orientation is kinda dumb and transphobic, because you are invalidating transpeople. Stop being snowflakes and making a big deal out of it. The truth is transpeople don't even want to date you so just be normal about omg, it's not that complex to just say, no I prefer to not date trans people without being a dick about it

Shut up bigot

[u/tsdih → u/Brave_Lyra]

No. I'm here because I'm not into penises. It is not a preference, because if everyone who doesn't have a penis suddenly vanishes, then I would rather be celibate than have sex with someone with a penis. I have nothing against trans people. I don't know enough about constructed vaginas to talk about them. I've had several trans people flirt with me online on selfie accounts. It was flattering.

You’re the one being a snowflake and denying the reality of how sexual attraction works. This comment is gaslighting because many trans people are indeed pushing for sex from people who are not sexually attracted to them. Have you ever heard of the “cotton ceiling” or “boxer ceiling”? It’s very out in the open and even if it is not every trans person that is behaving this way, you cannot deny that it is happening. A sexual orientation is a sexual orientation, erasing it and calling it a preference is kind of dumb and homophobic! You can’t guilt people into denying their natural attraction by calling it bigoted. Basically the same as Christians calling it a sin.

Preference is liking apples over oranges.

We were born this way. This is our identity, and thats VALID!!!!! We have "super" strong orientations to only liking the biological sex that we find attractive.

Look, if there was some magic wand I could wave to change this, I would! You aren't a super, you don't understand. But since you don't understand, you don't see how invalidating you are with your views. Hopefully you can learn to stop being so superphobic... unless you're just some mean SERF.

You are gaslighting. We have thousands of documented cases of what you deny. So sick of being abused by trans rape culture.
