The first time I ever questioned anything trans was when this person I went to school with posted a picture of james charles going, "Since you guys don't get it, this is a feminine gay man. A straight man or lesbian would NOT be attracted to this person because they do not like men" So gay men, bisexuals and "pansexuals" would.

and then they had the same picture going, "If this were a trans woman, then gay men and straight women would NOT be attracted to them because they are female, it does not matter what a trans person looks like. If they say they are something then they are"

And it was the dumbest shit I've ever seen. Basically they were saying that if James charles said, "hey i'm trans now!" and just stayed his make up wearing self, then that means NO men would be attracted to him unless they were straight and all gay boys who liked him would no longer like him or would be forced to identify as straight or bisexual.

that and "not dating trans is transphobic" were some of the first things that made me give the movement a major side-eye.
