No, you don't have to justify your reasons, but if your reasons could be bigoted, you may want to take the time to unpack them.

I wonder if they realize how gaslighting they are. You can't say "you don't need to justify your reasons" and then go on to say how your reasons are bad and you have to unpack them.

If you are excluding an entire group of people, based solely on their membership in that group, you are bigoted. Reasons matter.

If not dating someone actually means being bigoted, then what you're doing is just making the word "bigoted" lighter. Also come on, this person is all over the thread claiming that preferences are bad and people's reasons are bad, but then they go to say "you don't have to justify your reasons".

Seriously, f*** this TRA; Their statements are a contradictory mess.

"you don't have to justify your reasons"

"reasons matter"

"unpack them"

"bigoted"

"bigoted"

No, I'd prefer to keep my potentially bigoted reasons neatly packed with lots of tape and shelved in the basement in the section labeled: None of your damn business. That'll be just fine.
