Why it's hard for people in this sub might be because the gay rights movement fights for gay relationships to be recognized, to make it illegal to discriminate against gay people, and mostly regards how gay people are treated by the rest of the world. Trans rights overlap a lot with that mission.

No they don't.

If the label gay wasn't so important to me maybe I'd have let myself feel something for her. Makes sense?

No it doesn't.

If someday some really hot guy were to hit you up, take you out to dinner or a really nice date and a few hours in, he tells you, "hey this isn't a big deal but you should know I'm trans" then what happens? Does he immediately cease to be hot?

Yes.

Jesus fuck I'm not even a gay guy and this shit makes no sense. Dating is not supposed to be inclusive! Sexual orientation is immutable for 99% of people. Preferences within orientations can be, and often are, fixed. For example I am categorically turned off by someone who wants kids or has kids already. If I go on a date with someone and they tell me they want to be a parent someday or they have a kid at home YES my interest in this person evaporates. YES they cease to be hot in that moment. Why is this such a hard concept for wokies to grasp?

This was so funny to me. LMFAO maybe you're not a gay man if you think that identifying with a label is more important than being actually gay

Yep that’s exactly what I picked up on too. Really shows their hand.
