100%. This is nothing more than a trap.

I'm not saying you have to be attracted to trans men, but maybe we should explore the reasoning of why you're not

Nope. This is 100% a trap and we all know it's going to end up with me being transphobic for not wanting to fuck trans people. It's always the same story. It's classic foot-in-door technique.

This too. It will never just end there. Also, the sheer gall of “examine why you aren’t attracted to me” is astounding. Imagine you’re walking through a park and Jehovah’s Witnesses approaches you. You’d nod politely to his spiel and then say, “no thanks I’m not interested.” That would be end of it. But, in TRA-land the Jehovah’s Witness member follows you around the park, demands you examine why you aren’t a Jehovah’s Witness, trashes your religious affiliation (or lack thereof), refuses to let you speak, calls you names, and tries to get you fired from your job.

Which of course "we" should NOT (cuz nunya beeswax, Aiden), and if "we" did? If gay men's reasoning really WERE to be "explored"? In exhaustive detail? Wouldn't it all be stuff on the order of: "your body is repellent to me", "don't know whether you're more creepy or pathetic", "cuz EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU screams 'woman!'"; "cuz I couldn't be attracted to you if there was a gun to my head"; "cuz you're a bunch of rapists"; and so on? Somehow I doubt that "transmen" are ready for these kinds of revelations.

Seriously, Gaydens: when someone says "I'm not interested"? The LAST thing you wanna know is their reasons! Unless you've got an ego made out of the same fuckin' stuff as Wolverine's claws. In other words, don't go asking questions unless you can handle the answer.

Maybe we should explore the reasons why they can't take no for an answer.

But okay, since we want to explore reasons, here ya go:

You are ugly, your body is gross, your genitals are creepy and damaged by hormones, you have an unchecked mental illness which I am not willing or able to deal with, the emotional labor needed to constantly maintain your happiness is well above my pay-grade, you are selfish, you are needy, you have made it clear that if I were to be in a relationship with you, you would be the priority, and I would be your handmaiden, your sex-fantasies are based on fetishes and delusions, you are unpleasant to be around. I would rather be completely alone for the rest of my life with no human contact than to be around you. That's why I'm not attracted to you.

Yep: explores pretty much every nook & cranny of possible reasons! Really the only thing left would be going into detail about each and every physical feature that he finds revolting, and why. ("How do you gross me out, just in terms of your body? Let me count the ways...")
