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 You can be into/not into a person based on physical aspects and that’s fine (eg you’re not attracted to tall people or you are attracted to trans-femme people). You’re into who you’re into.
That’s a different proposition from not liking someone because of a characteristic of their physical history. It’s like saying “I only date black (not mixed race) people”. Or “only someone who used to be fat”.
One is about your choices, the other is nonsensical gatekeeping.
@Moondancer0X a person can be black and still mixed race. A person can be slim now without having been heavier before. A trans person can be, in all reasonable respects, their correct gender. To refuse to date them because of them not being ‘proper’ (whatever that is) is just discrimination based on arbitrary rules.
However even then, nobody should be forced to date anyone (or not date anyone) no matter how stupid their reason.
@Moondancer0X Personally I’d say wanting to have your own biological children is a fair reason (depending on the trans person you’re speaking to, they may be able to have kids). Not being attracted to one-or-the-other set of junk is a fair reason, but if a trans person otherwise ticks all your boxes and someone won’t date them just because they’re trans then I think it’s fair game to say they’re a gnarly person.
I’m afraid I don’t see that option on your poll 🤣
