If gender and sexual orientation are so clearly divided that a person can easily have contradictory labels like this, then why is it bigoted to say that someone's gender identity doesn't fit in with your sexuality? No wonder TRAs are in such a combative shitty mood all the time, it takes work to refuse and ignore critical thinking like this.

It's really interesting, right? People can make gender identity and sexuality so malleable. Someone who is not a woman can identify as lesbian. At the same time, people can also make these labels very specific. So someone who is just a regular straight woman will claim she's actually she's actually a greysexual demiboy. Every definition is valid.

But the moment a guy says he's only into men with dicks, or a girl says she's only into women with vaginas? Oh no, that is unacceptable. For them the definitions of gay/lesbian aren't malleable enough to fit actual homosexual people, and there aren't specific labels to accomodate us because our sexuality isn't valid.

Because if you said you're not attracted to the male gender, then they'll come at you for not dating transbians, etc. There's no way to fight against broken logic.

Because they get shitty when people they want to have sex with don't want to have sex with them. Because most people aren't into whatever odd combination of sex features that they've developed and they don't want to accept that.
