The issue with filtering trans people is that is does stem from a transphobic bias. For example, if a man is scrolling tinder and sees a trans woman who’s post-op, looks feminine and pretty and indistinguishable from a cis girl, and then decides they don’t want to date them because they used to be a man, they are doing that because they don’t view that trans woman as a woman.

I’m not saying it’s transphobic to not want to date a trans woman who is clearly very masculine with broad shoulders and may / may not have a penis because that’s just down to physical attraction, I wouldn’t blame anyone for not wanting to date a masculine cis woman if they don’t find them attractive. But if you won’t date someone because of their internal DNA or the fact that they used to have a penis then it’s just the same as not dating a fitness model because she used to be fat and you’re not attracted to fat people, it’s illogical unless you accept the transphobic bias exists.

The only reason I’ve heard that I agree with not to date a trans woman you find attractive is if you want biological children as that is currently not possible (afaik).
