Are genital preferences transphobic?

[Rissyanne]

These videos kill me. Give me your thoughts.

Genital Preferences are transphobic

They are not transphobic

[LindsayRB91rds]

My problem with Riley is that someone who's comfortable with themselves wouldn't put so much effort into making people accept them. If she's happy with her life choices then I'm happy for her. The fact that she's trying to make people feel bad if they could never be attracted to a transwoman, or a transman tells me that she may be insecure with herself. If I were a man, that alone would stop me from wanting to date her.

I live in Boston and we have a good variety of people here. There's an accountant in our office who is F-to-M trans and he's a very happy dude. In the coffee room he chats about his dates with women like any of the guys here do and I've never heard him rant about transphobia. I can see on the faces of a few guys that they don't accept him or his dating women but he doesn't care. Why? I'll suggest that he's happy with his choice and doesn't need our acceptance.

Anyone who gets in my face and insists on telling me what i should think and do is a problem for me. I'll say the same about the rabid pro-lifers, pro-choicers and the like. If Riley walked up to me and started asking these pointed questions to make me feel bad about my choices, I'd want to ask her if she's unhappy about making the transition. Why is it that it's so important to you that that I accept you and your choices? Did my life/dating choices offend you somehow?

I don't think she's being unreasonable-- to me, in her video, she seems less offended by whatever people are or are not attracted to, and more offended by the ideas motivating some of these preferences-- namely, that trans women are somehow not real women. THIS is what she considers harmful, and I'm inclined to agree.

She literally says in the video: "This is NOT saying-- you have to have sex with a trans woman, or you're cissexist. It's saying that you should examine the societal influences on your preferences." Again, this to be seems perfectly reasonable. She's not telling you who to be attracted you. She's recommending that we look at some of the larger issues, and how we contribute to them.

Again, I'm not saying I agree with everything she says in the video-- but none of it strikes me as crazy, as some others have suggested. I think she raises some good points, honestly, and the backlash is kind of a lot, you guys.

[Rissyanne]

No one should have to explain their preferences. NO ONE. It is their business. No one should date someone they are not attracted to. It is not reasonable... it is ridiculous.

[WildButterfly]

I watched over 4 minutes of the video and I felt like that was more than enough lol
My thoughts:
There's people who have issues with gay people just being. I was never one of those people. I always thought "Hey it's their life. Let them live peacefully" But when they're creating arguments to justify why I should date them or else.. THAT'S when I have a problem. Who the hell haven't been rejected before when it comes to dating, relationship, sex or whatever? But that doesn't mean you're gonna force the person to have sex with you or want a relationship with you. People have preferrences. 🤷‍♀️

[SovereignessofVamps]

Don't you have to be biased against the 'phobic' people, to call them phobic for their preferences?

Like what if a trans person didn't want to date a another trans person, does that make them transphobic? If the answer is no, then you'd have to be biased against the other orientations, like gay and straight people, to even call them phobic, since you won't apply that to you or your orientation.

[ak666]

The whole argument that this is reducing a person's worth to their genitalia is the worst, especially coming from someone whose Adam's apple is as prominent as mine. Even with the whole package aside, what about heterosexuals who want to have children? Oh well, I digress.

It reminds me of arguments suggesting that only personality should matter when it comes to attraction, as though outward appearances don't contribute whatsoever to sexual attraction. We might as well all become blind bisexuals in that case.

[OlderAndWiser]

I could only watch about one minute of this nonsense. This "girl" looks like she began life as a guy. Anybody who tries to tell me that I am "biased" if I don't like "girls" with penises has their head up their ass!

[RJGraveyTrain]

Lol people take being PC and progressive too damn far. You can have preferences without being transphobic.

[Crapulux]

Well, just like in your other question, I'll defer to a specialist, LOL

[curiousnorway]

I thinks people should be allowed to have their sexual preferences without being labeled as transphobic, racist, xenophobic etc. People have features they are attracted to and features they finds turn off. It's not people's fault they doesn't find something attractive. I for instance prefer slim and fit people, and finds obese people unattractive.

[cheapshotbob]

i dont think they are if your a guy you were raised thinking girls are worth figting for etc. i still think that but most guys go for those transgender types which is fine but im nt following a crowd. i like my women real
and full of opinions.

a guy who knows he is a girl can't change the fact that i love the form of a woman the real form not just a few cosmetic changes. and i have guy friends who are like this, but i know what i like..

[Iraqveteran666]

According to leftists yes. Honestly because leftist call everyone who disagrees our has independent thoughts "phobics" and "ists" being called transphobic, homophobic, sexist, racist, Islamaphobic no longer means anything except you disagree with an SJW. Even black conservatives are called "uncle toms" by white leftists.

[curiousnorway]

I'm liberal and so called left, but I doesn't think genital preferences are transphobic. It's not racist to have race preferences either in my opinion. We're different like everybody else. Not every conservatives do have xenophobia and not every liberals are SJWs.

[Iraqveteran666]

@curiousnorway most liberals are conservatives and vice versa. You gotta admit any liberal who gives a dissenting view from the mainstream liberal "consenus" is basically ostracised, brow beaten into submission, publicly shamed and branded and ist or phone.

[curiousnorway]

Some leftist aren't so open minded. But there are also many leftists that are open-minded from what I've seen. Same with other parties.

[Iraqveteran666]

@curiousnorway in my experience people want to do right and be fair.

[BasicFlake]

I'm not even going to watch that. I'll answer on the title alone. If genital preferences are transphobic then I guess I'm transphobic. Fortunately I don't let people tell me what I am, I don't subscribe to the agenda laden theories of activists.

[FrenchyRomain]

i stopped at 1:20 because i couldn't breathe xD too funny
women with vaginas and women with penises...
in my opinion (and MY opinion alone) there are ONLY 2 genders : men and women. You have a penis? MAN, you have a vagina? WOMAN regardless of the rest of your body OR whatever the FUCK you identify as

[Phoenix98]

No and that idea is stupid.

FYI anything that goes against PC will be turned into some kind of phobia so special snowflakes can justify why they think it's wrong.

[RichTheC]

Don't have sex or a relationship with anyone you don't want to.
Once I find out you have a dick you can't/shouldn't force me to stick around.

[America1st]

Anything that goes against the PC world turns into some kind of phobia. Well, to go along with them, I am Demophobic, leftaphobic and PCphobic!

[LORESKI]

what the actual fuck 😂 lol no its not transphobic i think that this dude is just tired of not getting laid lol so he makes up some bullshit excuse to try and make people feel like theyre doing something wrong

[pinolly]

As someone that would totally date a trans girl, I think she is incredibly stupid.

[Rissyanne]

You wouldn't mind if he had a dick

[pinolly]

Or she... no.

[Rissyanne]

If he has a dick... its a he. So I guess you are bisexual or gay.

[Eugene]

In today's class, children, we have a prime example of mentally insane man speaking some sorts of nonsense.

[TheFlak38]

"Different views and opinions are described as irrational fears or phobias" Leftist logic.

[Toreno]

I don't know if I laugh or if I feel sorry for that person.
"She"'s insane.

[CorruptedDocument]

Riley is an idiot, beyond the help of rational thinking.

[turtl3man]
