Ah, yes, it's the UK TERFs that caused this and not our innate sexual orientation. Always the TERFs.

Apparently 33% of people claiming to be gay/lesbian are lying about being gay/lesbian. Which isn't surprising considering how lesbian is supposed to encompass basically everyone on the planet at this point.

The 1 group that trans people refuse to pursue, bisexuals, is the only group that the majority is open to dating trans people. They're just shooting themselves in the foot by refusing bisexuals. But apparently that sweet, sweet validation is more important to them than having a partner that actually wants to be with them.

I read about this study somewhere else. The 33% of gays and lesbians saying they would date a trans person were saying they would stay with their same sex partner if they transitioned (ie a lesbian would stay with her female partner who becomes a transman or a gay man would stay with his male partner who becomes a transwoman). They were also asked if they would go on a date with a same sex person who is trans, and 33% said yes. This confused the survey people, who called the gays and lesbians "incongruent" because they wouldn't date an opposite sex trans person. Almost zero percent, if I remember correct, would date "transbians" or trans gay men".

That makes a lot more sense. Survey people are clearly biased. And also very, very stupid if they thought gay men and lesbians would date people of the opposite sex.

Yes it's very biased. Like it's only "incongruent" if you are blinded by ideology. Otherwise it's so obvious!

This is the problem with these increasingly woke surveys, studies, and the summaries of them like this. It's hard to get accurate information out of them anymore because of how biased by gender ideology the researchers/compilers are. It reminds me of the wikipedia entries on the Equality Act that deceptively show aspects of it having more public support than it really does by how disengeneously it's written about. Not to mention that video with the methodically flawed Tokyo trans athlete survey where the developing results were not even hidden from people actively being surveyed.

Also, bisexuals are significantly more than homosexuals. Dating wise the incels who decided to be trans could actually have not super bad chances to finding someone, but they're obsessed with lesbians to validate their ego.

I just can't understand why anyone would want to date someone who didn't want to be with them. It makes no sense to me.

It's the thrill of the hunt and transgression. If this person accepts them, it boosts their ego because they feel they were the one to change this person.

As a straight male lesbian I couldn’t agree more.

If you check other more detailed surveys: the heterosexual men are somewhat okay with transmen, lesbians are fairly okay with transmen. Gay men less okay with transwomen, really not okay with trans men.

Hetero women were low grade okay with transwomen but not at all interested in transmen. Heterosexual men were also mostly disinterested in transwomen.

So basically as long as your genitals matched that person's sexual orientation you were a lot more in luck, with lesbians being more open to transmen than any other group was to any other trans.

Such a weird concept.

Homosexuals want to be with the same sex, and heterosexuals want to be with the opposite sex.

WTF OMG WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!?!?

Those numbers drop to 0 once they learn the reality of neo-vaginas and whatever the fake dicks are called.

These numbers are looser than the last study I read (we've probably all seen it) that very few people want to date trans.

Trans people: Look. Your pool is smaller. Such is life. Irrespective of etiology, ideology, etc. you've been dealt a hand, now you have to play it. This is the case for homosexual people as well--a smaller pool. But you don't see them taking to twitter and lamenting over it. Shaming people, demanding sex, having a fit, etc. Get a grip.

Methodology: Total unweighted sample size was 3,721 US adults ages 18+. The responding sample is weighted to the profile of the sample definition to provide a representative reporting sample. Interviews were conducted online between May 28-31, 2019.

So this survey had more participants and they were from the US. The other study was mostly Canadians. They were also done almost a year apart. I find it strange that the Americans were more likely to consider a trans person by a significant amount than the Canadians.

That survey also has trans woman and trans man split rather than just trans. The result of lesbians being more willing to date trans men than trans women is pretty funny and goes against the idea that sexuality is based on gender identity. Really want to see how TRAs try to rationalize that.

This is a confusing study. It says "of your preferred gender" who is transgender, so does that mean if you're a lesbian would you date a trans man? Or is it asking if you'd date a transbian? Given that the numbers are so similar between whether you're okay with GNC and whether you're okay with trans, it seems like many may have just thought that was basically the same thing.

When your big civil rights issue is who will or won't date you, that just shows that you don't really have any serious civil rights problems.

Also, if you break it down further, only ~13% of gay men are open to dating trans women. I've seen two different polls that both gave similar figures.

Just wait until they realize the 33% willing to date them would still be considered transphobic to them…

You ever ponder if one day, they'll realize nobody fucking likes them and there's nothing they can do to change that?
It's like that trope from the 80s with the pushy boy who keeps getting shot down by the girl he likes but he won't take 'no' for an answer.
