Well, in a poll, only 13% of gay man say they'd date a trans man, so that puts 87% of gay men in the "transphobic" category.

These people live in echo chambers.

Edit: In a pro-trans article from 2018, it was reported:

"But most non-heterosexuals weren’t down for dating a trans person either, with only 11.5% of gay men and 29% of lesbians being trans-inclusive in their dating preferences."

They ought to do a poll on how many trans people would be willing to date other trans people. I'd be curious to see the results. Given the amount of whining they do about "cis" people not dating them, I'm guessing that number might not be very high either.

There is such a poll out there, and there was a reasonably high percentage of trans people who say they'd date other trans people.

Do you know if the poll counted nb people?

My favorite part of that is where a third of the lesbians who said they’d consider dating a trans person would only date a transman.

But, really, I would say most of the people responding yes are thinking of this in a purely hypothetical way. It’s one thing to say yes to something on a survey and feel like a good, inclusive person and a totally different thing to encounter the reality of it.
