This is for non-trans people only!

Do you think it is #transphobic to not want to date trans people?

There is an accompanying poll for trans people in the replies.

Please #boost so that I can have a larger sample size than I might otherwise get.

Boost the other poll too if you can.

@Moondancer0X Wish this of all polls had a "not voting just show me the results option." Because I don't think there's a simple answer but I'm curious what other people think. I guess I just need to be patient.

@misc I really hope at some point there's just a built in "show me the results" option. I've skipped out on several polls for that reason. I'm not sure why that isn't a thing.

@Moondancer0X Agreed. And in lieu of a vote I guess my general take is that no one should be shamed or pressured about what they are or aren't attracted to, but everyone should be willing to get introspective about their preferences. Also simple labels like "gay" or "straight" are increasingly inadequate to our evolving understanding of gender and sexuality.

@Moondancer0X Also if you don't want to date trans people a priori I suppose that is transphobic by definition, but maybe not with the same moral charge as expressing transphobia in other ways. As with racism, it helps if we acknowledge that transphobia is a thing no one is immune to, not just a mark of shame to sort the good people from the bad.
