People are attracted to people, not body parts

If this was true, you wouldn't need to keep reminding everyone.

Also, as is so often the case, the person making the completely outlandish 'logical' argument about how human sexuality should be has 'autistic' in his bio, explaining everything.

Just popping in to say there's a high likelihood that they're self-diagnosers and very likely just socially awkward people (but it's not pervasive enough to impact daily life) or someone looking for oppression points.

Yes, I'm too quick to jump to the conclusion that someone who argues against 'genital preferences' is suffering from some sort of social disorder that prevents them from understanding the complexity of human sexuality, when it's equally possible that, being trans, they're simply deeply personally invested in the belief that genitals and sex are completely unrelated.

Exactly. I'm not saying autistic people can't convince themselves they're trans (they're often GNC like myself because they don't have a feel for gender expectations/norms or don't understand why X can't do Y, and therefore are told they're trans by peers, online communities, parents and doctors), but it's more likely that most trans aren't also autistic as many claim to be.
