Isn't Takei notably pro trans? I'm guessing because of that, they won't let Shatner out of this easily

I noticed that too but I'm quite curious if George Takei, as a gay man, would actually date a transman. Because according to TRAs, he's a bigot if he doesn't. I wonder what his stance would be if TRAs tried to force him to date a transman the way TiMs try to force themselves into the lesbian dating pool.

As most gay men who fancy themselves TRAs he only ever repeats the "transwomen are women" mantra while "trans men are men" is notably missing.

Exactly. Like Daniel Radcliffe would ever date a TiM. Pfft

I love this. These people are always spouting off about how “TRANSWOMEN ARE WOMEN” but God forbid they ever actually have to have anything to do with one. No no no no, we have it all wrong, it’s the “lesbian” transwomen he’s standing up for. Because they’re our problem, and not his.

It’s the same argument I give whenever someone starts off about how “Poor people are poor just because of their own bad spending, it’s entirely possible to live on the money the typical unskilled worker makes, they’re just whining and jealous and wasting what they have.”

Okay, buddy, so: You do it. If we’re all just so bad with money, and our lives would actually be so much easier if we’d just learn the basics of budgeting like yourself, then please, perform a demonstration. A modern one, not the one you did in 1973 when costs were lower and a dollar went further. If living on a tiny paycheck is possible, then do it.

Men will always cape for other men.

On his Twitter whenever he brings up trans issues, it's generally filled with people asking him this very question.

Did he ever answer it or just evade it?

Nope

George Takei is the biggest woke idiot I can think of in the celebrity world, barely edging out Jameela Jamil. He'd refuse to date a transman and wouldn't so much as nod to the contradiction.

Takei is a self confessed creep

Stern asks Takei again if he has ever sexually harassed anyone, and the actor responds by saying, “Some people that are kind of, um, um, skittish. Or maybe, uh … afraid. And you’re trying to persuade.”

Stern then asks him if he has ever made a move on a “guy who was hesitating to have sex” with him by “giving him a gentle squeeze.”
