Have you ever seen the tweet where a man claims “I believe transwomen are women, except for dating purposes”? Most of them are like that. TRA in the streets, “TERF” in the sheets.

Honestly, I've seen more women on the "Transwomen are women" train. Men, particularly those who are heterosexual, know that claiming transwomen as "women" leads to eventually being intimate with them. That's not happening. Though, to be fair, you have some male celebrities such as Daniel Radcliffe, spouting the "Transwomen are women" nonsense, but I just chalk that up with him being in "Hollyweird" where that's expected. But, yes, as you stated people who spout that nonsense are not interested in sexual or romantic relationships with TRAs.

They always cop out with that stupid genital preference concept. No dude, you said trans women are women, you're straight, you must date them too.

Which is pretty much the least helpful attitude to our point. They’re contributing to the narrative that LGB people are bigoted in dating while trying to coddle TQ feelings and make them feel morally superior.

Most people simply pay lip service to say things they view as politically trendy. When it comes down to it at the end of the day they drop their so-called positions and principles pretty quickly.
