If I have to see another, 'I'm totally okay with trans people, I'm just not attracted to them' post, I'm going to lose it.

And it's fucking everywhere. Even the bisexuality subreddit is chock full of people giving their unasked-for opinions on trans people's bodies. No one asked.

They don't ask, they TELL us all, over and over and over again, in entitled, obtuse, and often rapey fashion. Hence the prompt and regular boundary assertion. Any time a TRA says "No one" at the start of a sentence, they're lying.

I still feel 1% sorry for them for feeling body shamed, but they 99% likely did that to themselves by pushing themselves on people who by definition are not going to want them. Crack a dictionary and save yourself some heartache, FFS. This wall ain't moving not matter how many times you bang your head against it.

And frankly I am glad to hear that bisexuals aren't as much of a soft target TRAs seemed to expect we would be. Again, learn what words mean. Then come up with your own terms to differentiate, so you can find the people who want to find you.

It's weird to me that the people that want & are interested in them, are called "chasers". But, ironically, that same term could be applied to them as well, for "chasing" those who by definition could never be attracted to them.

It all fits together, doesn't it. Except the ones who chase them apparently have more success.

It's all about self-image. They are always hunting for the right mirror. Which means the people they complain don't want them are in fact just objects to them, that are supposed to show them the right reflection (validation). They don't want to be chased FOR being trans. That's still coming from reality and that's not acceptable.
