I can't really get why that's such a big deal for dudes. Like when you're attracted to a woman is it only because you've seen her vagina? Like when you see a hot chick are you like "ah man she has a sexy vag."


Sexuality is not based on sex organs.

I don't know how else to explain it, but personally the idea of bein with a dude is repulsive and I know I could tell if I was in front of one immediately.

That's not to say I care what they do, but I don't like the idea of them misleading men online having the dude get all dizzy thinking he's gonna hook up with a chick, so when he meets the dude in person his feelers are all fucked with so it gets to the point at all that he finds out its a dude

I think without the internet there'd be a lot less of that shit going on because people who would end up hooking up with trannies would be seeking them out

And yes, it IS the vagina that a dude is attracted to.


But I think sexuality is a big deal because the whole political movement tries to shove it down people's throats and forces them to take a side where previously it might have never crossed their mind really

I think some people believe trans women are preying on straight guys - tricking them into having sex. I mean, it’s a pretty absurd notion but some straight men have a completely irrational fear of touching another man sexually, even if by accident. Literally the definition of homophobia.

There is some pretty heavy fetishization around 'traps'
think that may play into the fears somewhat--
a sort of culture of straight guys trying to 'trick' other straight guys with particularly effeminate trannies

am personally fortunate as a transwoman with zero attraction to men
as there is no chance, on my part, of being in a situation of springing a potentially disturbing surprise on a male partner


still do harbour fears of unwelcome groping resulting in violence enacted against me
"when a lady says 'no' it means keep your hands of my dick asshole"

but also harbour fears of being even accidentally sexually touched, then becoming a victim of violence as a result

here is a question for you tho
if you got really into a transman without knowing, then when you were finally about to hook up got a vag in your face
how would you respond?
Am guessing you would not act violently, but thinking it may at least kill the mood?

Do you think people should be penalized for not using proper pronouns?

XUL said:

It becomes a problem when places like Canada want to penalize a person for not using proper pronouns.

I guess it's not a bid deal though..

Quote:

Bill C-66 allows Canadians, or family members of Canadians who have died, to apply to erase past criminal convictions for three offences — buggery, gross indecency and anal intercourse.

The bill is a companion piece to the historic apology Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued in the House of Commons last fall to members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual or two-spirited community who faced discrimination in the federal public service or military.
...
Under the bill people can apply, free of charge and without hassle, to the Parole Board of Canada to have the records of their convictions destroyed.

Last week a federal judge approved a legal settlement to compensate individuals who were harassed, denied promotions and sometimes fired from their jobs in the military and other agencies because of their sexual orientation.
