3. You actually are transphobic if you'd never date a trans person

You actually are transphobic if you'd never date a trans person

Not gonna vote on this either way, I mostly disagree but I think that some of the discussion around this misses a lot of the nuance.

Full disclosure, I'm a transgender woman, and I personally don't think I would be offended if someone didn't want to date me because I was trans. At the end of the day, people can't really choose or control their preferences. I think the race-preference thing is genuinely a pretty valid comparison but I also don't necessarily think that's indicative of any underlying bigotry, either.

However I think that there are definitely some bad-faith people who kind of use "their preferences" as if it were some kind of magical shield behind which they can hide to fling vitriol with impunity. Granted, that's probably a case of the shittiest people being the loudest on the internet, but, idk.

I sleep with my glasses on. English is an individualistic disaster language made out of pure chaos and it's a large part of the reason we're so divided. There is nothing “wrong” with being a sex addict, only with the actions it causes ladders are the best form of elevation. Fat people should not be allowed to use the motorized carts at the store. The Dark Souls franchise is overrated and it is glorified masochism We need more humans Automatic Transmissions Are Inferior To The Almighty Manual Transmission Staying loyal during the “talking stage” is a dumb decision and a good way to get hurt The Last of Us part 2 got done so dirty it’s astonishing. It is hands down the best video game on the market and it isn’t even close. If you're an atheist, you should never pray to God, even in the most desperate of circumstances Unless they seek help, there's no point in 'saving' suicidal people It's perfectly reasonable for doctors to refuse to sterilize young, childless people. There is nothing enjoyable about music. I enjoy when people close to me die.
