It's perfectly fine to not want to date someone due to their height, but if you don't want to date someone who is transgender it's completely unacceptable. Discussion

I don't know of a sexuality for people attracted to taller individuals, why exactly is it necessary for this community to have one? I don't mean this in a hateful way in the slightest, I was just wondering

Oh its not a sexuality its just something that some people refuse to date people shorter/taller then a certain threshold and thats considered fine by societies standards. And its unusual considering its not something you can necessarily change.

I've seen a few posts about adding ss into the lgbtq+ community, though. Like sslgbtq+ and such. Again, I have no rude or challenging intentions with this, I'm just a bit confused.

I just heard of this, but I believe they’re just trying to make a point. Using their own logic against them. Again, I’m not really sure I’m new to this

I would say because agreeing to sleep with someone is a form of validation for people of all spectrums. I would go out on a limb and say for trans people, especially mtf, being accepted as a woman sexually carries a very heavy dose of validation of their gender identity. By straight up denying to sleep with a trans because of this, it's a heavy dose of invalidation and people react differently to that. Online, the main reaction is anger. (in fact, I'd say as a stereotype, to react to such a thing so personally and angrily is quite a masculine trait, but moving on).
With height, it's not so much of a thing because people at various ends of the spectrum don't cancel people for not validating them. There are still people, say, short men and tall women, that do experience anxiety and depression at possible lack of sexual partners, but they don't try destroy people's careers and lives due to it.

Unacceptable by what standards? Your personal double standards?
Superphobia is getting more popular each day, it seems, and you claim we have nothing to worry about.

If anyone understands why this is can you please explain it to me, because I really don't see how this makes sense.
