According to them, since you can't tell someone's gender, then you could be attracted to anyone, hence you must be pan.

This is just one of those things that baffle me, like...just the logic behind it...I mean even aside from the creepy rapey parts, the idea that if you trick a person that you're something you're not and that you're actually something they prefer, that it means their preferences aren't real. It's like if a person wore a troll mask, and then took it off, and if anyone thought they were attractive, that this means either that they're lying or that they're actually attracted to trolls.

My favorite is when they say since you can't tell someone's chromosomes/genitals by looking at them, attraction to sex doesn't actually exist. Its just so silly and pedantic, idk how to even respond to something like that.

Respond that you can't tell anyone's DNA either, and yet people seem to consistently target their attraction to humans instead of other animals.
