My son is gay. Recently I asked him, would you consider having sex with a trans man. He pondered it. Then he said, “I think so — it’d be interesting to have a different kind of sex while still being with a man.” (this was an unprompted, uncoached answer.)

Umm why does he apparently normally coach his son on what to say lmao

Something I am challenging, in the article, is: is the person attracted to women, or attracted to a specific body part?

I’m attracted to women and woman's bodies. Only women have this “specific body” part. And also yes I like that a lot, thanks for asking.

I am inviting lesbians to consider that, if a woman rejects another woman because this woman has a surgical vagina, then that’s (to a smaller or bigger degree) driven by prejudice.

I am inviting him to consider that a surgically arranged penis and scrotum is not a vagina.

In her heart-of-hearts, is she thinking “she’s not a real woman”?

Yes I am. Because it’s true.

I’m saying that a lesbian woman may enjoy sex with another woman even if this other woman has a penis (I have very much seen it happen).

What a creepy way to say that. And that wasn’t a lesbian

mild distaste to outright revulsion at the notion of using their equivalent of a clitoris for penetrative purposes.

That’s called a penis, sir.

What I define as bigotry/prejudice as pre-conceived notions of who one would sleep with or date, driven by cultural constructs or assumptions, without personal experience.

What I define as repackaged homophobic arguments, is telling me I can’t possibly know that I don’t want to be with men without having tried. Funny how it’s once again a man telling me that, just doesn’t think he is one now.

I am inviting each person to explore themselves, in their heart, and see if they find pockets of prejudice.

Nope sorry, still homosexual.

What is driving one’s comfort or discomfort with another human? I’m just asking for introspection.

After thorough introspection, I’ve concluded that my discomfort with this particular human is driven by his homophobia

There are so many possibilities. Is one woman simply not attracted to the other? (too butch, too femme, too tall, too short, too nerdy, too whatever?)

Too male. One too many Y chromosomes for my taste. Too much dick and balls.

What I’m trying to have you consider is that there is a lot to unpack here

Whenever people say this you just know it will be an absolute dumpster fire and there will be absolutely nothing of value said

After looking him up, I also found the absolute most ironic blog post of the century made by him two years ago:

A look at coercive sex through a young woman’s eyes. The #MeToo movement is inspiring a lot of conversations about consent. And that is good. But I wanted to show, show men in particular, what it’s like to be confronted with coercive sex — the emotions it generates. I wanted you to see it through our eyes.

Can’t make this shit up.

Her son is probably well aware of her social justice warrior gendertrender bullshit and knows what the "correct", expected answer was anyways.
