Second, even if it’s true that most men natively have strong desires to have sex with people who have vaginas, it doesn’t follow from this that they can’t ever develop desires, perhaps even strong ones, to have sex with people who have penises (and the same goes for women). Such a preference may have to be one you’d have to work to develop (unlike, say, the desire for sugar, which comes naturally), but that would simply make it the sexual equivalent of scotch: an acquired taste.

Lord god, we're moving in the opposite direction and LGBT is leading the way.

So stockhold syndrome is the key to making everyone feel valid? Just force people to do something until they don't fight back?

If you read through the whole piece, it's not as bad as it sounds on the surface from the excerpt I copied above. However, it is clear that a fundamental value of the author is that we should only interact with others' minds and character, not in any physical terms whatsoever. So his position is fundamentally about denying physical reality.

This is a touchy subject for me because I bought into this ideology earlier in my life, causing much pain and suffering to myself and probably others. It was only when I could accept the physicality of sexual attraction and interact honestly with others in those terms that I could find happiness for myself and give happiness back to a romantic partner.

Needless to say, the whole trans phenomenon is about denying physical reality and, as such, can lead only to suffering.

its hearts not parts, which is an infantile way of looking at human desire.
