Top part contradicts bottom part: "It is not transphobic to not date with trans people, but it is transphobic to say about that at loud to them or others".

And this comic ignore the part, that it is not we, who are coming to transes and saying "we will not date you", it is them who are infiltrating our spaces and trying to force us to date them, while using old-school homophobic reasoning.

Yeah, what do they consider "yelling it from the rooftops"? Because what I see is, for example, transpeople coming to gay/lesbian communities, asking if we would date them, and then getting mad when they hear a no. Is it yelling from the rooftops when you give a honest answer to people who insist on questioning you? On the other hand, I've never heard about LGB going to trans communities to tell them we wouldn't date them. And I'm sure that if that happened we wouldn't stop hearing about it.

Recently a Brazilian gay youtuber suffered attacks for saying he likes sucking dicks. He didn't even mention transmen, he didn't even mention he doesn't date transmen. He only said that he likes sucking dicks, in response to people shipping him with a cis woman. Is that yelling from the rooftops too?

When LGB people reject trans people's advances in a private conversation, and then trans people go online to say how this interaction was transphobic and how their preferences are bad, was that rejection yelling from the rooftops too?

They might say it's fine to have "preferences" as long as you don't shout it towards people. But this entire notion is homophobic, and their bar for "yelling from the rooftops" is really low.

Now where have we heard that rhetoric before? "I don't care if youre gay just don't force it on everybody"...funny how they're doing exactly that!

Dude, I kid you not, this was gonna be the last paragraph of my comment but I ended up deleting it! With these exact words lol

But yeah. It's like straight homophobes who say "I don't care if youre gay just don't force it on everybody". And to them everything anyone does that might remind them that LGB people exist is "forcing it on everybody". You held hands with your boyfriend? You're forcing it. You mentioned your same-sex partner when asked if you have a partner? Forcing it.

It's funny that the correlation is so clear that you also made the same link before I even mentioned it lol

It's because they're so predictable at this point, they make the same circular points and use hurt feelings as a means to win arguments that make no logical sense. Truth is offensive apparently.

I think he wants someone to get caught lying to him/trans women so he has another excuse to needle at people's boundaries. If one cis person can't be trusted, suddenly none of them can.
