I'm not saying I could never be into a trans person, because who knows?

This is interesting. I'm a bi guy and it's similar for me. I'm not physically repulsed by androgyny (it's actually kinda hot) or an incongruous set of sex characteristics (if it's done well). I could see myself with a trans person.

It's just that trans politics have become so toxic and orwellian now, I don't want to get involved with it at all. If I were with a trans person, I would see them, in certain important ways, as their birth sex. That's now considered unacceptable. You have to be 100% in on their "true gender". Anything less is bigotry.

There's no bigger turn-off than that.

I feel much the same way. I'm not repulsed by trans people sexually, but I think my attraction would require them to be pre-bottom surgery. And even then, my lizard brain would read them as members of their birth sex, and it's kind of pointless to argue against the lizard brain with logic or emotion. And then there's the matter of all the other (mental) baggage trans people carry...

So yeah, I don't think I'd be what a trans person would want from a partner.
