Everybody is free to have any preferences they want to have, just because somebody asks a gay man/lesbian woman to see a trans man/trans woman as a man/woman that doesn't mean they're asking them to sleep with them.

Well actually, what usually comes after is: 'If you see trans men as real men/trans women as real women....why don't you consider them in your dating pool?'

Why would I want to be in a relationship with someone who doesn't want to be with me in the first place? Like that doesn't make sense.

Yet it seems incredibly common within the trans community.

As I said again all those rumours about trans people forcing cis gay people to sleep with them are just propaganda spread by hateful people who don't want to accept trans people and so they aim to divide the LGBT community by planting this seed of confusion.

"Rumours" and "propaganda" sure.

This is just more of the same shite. Not willing to hold the movement responsible for its coercive tactics and its homophobia. It's someone else's fault. Someone else made it up. And yeah, 'that never happens'

One thing that might help the relationship between the LGB and the T is for the T to actually take responsibility and accountability but they are the perpetual victim so that'll never happen.

I’ve never once seen this not followed with, “then you should examine your preferences and date trans people.”

This also begs the question of, “what do we call males who are only attracted to males and females who are only attracted to females?”

Uh, the answer is obviously TERF! /s

But seriously, we used to have words for that, but language has been muddied beyond all reason. Bi means more than two, gay means you like men and women with a poorly sculpted arm skin inedible sausage in their pants, and lesbian can mean a woman who is otherwise straight, but like the idea of kissing a chick maybe someday (never).

Sometimes they will go as far as saying the word homosexual means attracted to same gender

I'm honestly wondering how long this shit will go on. Maybe when it becomes clear that the TQ crowd aren't going to stop even when their goals are reached, and they'll keep seeing what else they can get away with.
