Person A: Jokes on you, I'm bi

Person B: Please never say that to a trans person ever. I know if someone told me that I would be very upset. We want to be seen as our preferred gender and saying that it's ok because you are bi implies that we will always be out birth gender.

I don't have much to add because the quote kinda speaks for itself.

So... what is the correct answer here? If it's wrong to stop loving them because you're attracted to gender A and they're now gender B, and it's wrong to keep loving them because you're attracted to both genders A and B, do they want you to suddenly go from straight to gay or vice versa on their account?

Disclaimer: the my use of gender here is meant to represent their definition of gender because that is what the original comment is using, I am pointing out that the comment is inconsistent with their own logic

As in Wargames, the only winning move is not to play.

I think it's kinda like those gay men that only feel attracted to straight men. They are only interested in those that they can't have.

Similarly, they fetishize LGB but the few bi people who would actually be open to dating them aren't good enough. The appeal might be in converting sexualities.

The difference obviously is that the gay commmunity acknowledges these straight-seeking men exist and often point out the issue with this mentality. Unlike TRAs who will either say "this never happens", or actively defend this kind of mentality.

The same as always: bend reality by lying. If you're bi and you don't mind dating a trans person, you have to lie that you're attracted only to one sex.

Not being attracted to them is the tricky part. You have to lie that you are into them or lie that you're asexual. For your own mental health, I suggest the latter.

Or just being a reasonable person and picking the "wrong answer" with wide smile.
