Omg, I decided to lurk at r/truscum and I don't know who is the worst. TRA or truscum. Like they're both so delusional. These is what I found somewhere in the comments from this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/truscum/comments/ikq9dk/genital_preferences_are/

Sexuality is mainly based on secondary sexual characteristics, we are usually attracted to somebody long before we know which genitals they have.

Yeah, framing it like ride or die is kind of unrealistic. I’m sure 99% of people would be surprised/confused if the person they were seeing turned out not to have the genitals they were expecting but I imagine more would be willing to work through it rather than he totally game from the get go

Why are trans people so far away from reality?

I've never seen a truscum insist that others must date/fuck them. Not saying it never happens, though.

Truscum at least understand that being trans is a medical condition and not everyone can be trans just by saying they are. They are generally more rational than the others.

Truscum word their homophobia differently and in a seemingly "nicer" way, which is why it is often overlooked. While a tucute might say something like "I identify as a man/woman, therefore I am a man/woman and thus part of your dating pool!", truscum will focus on superficiality like hormones and surgeries, e.g. "Gay men date and have sex with transmen all the time, same with lesbians and transwomen! Take a look at these heavily-photoshopped pictures of post-op transgender people and tell me they are not desirable!" Neither side ultimately acknowledges the reality of exclusive same-sex attraction.
