If you find that when dating, you are writing off entire groups of people, like people of colour, fat people, disabled people or trans people, then it’s worth considering how societal prejudices may have shaped your attractions.

Ok, by that same logic, is being gay or straight in general prejudiced then? Because lesbians + straight men are writing off all men and gay men + straight women are writing off all women. Even if we're going by TRA logic in what we consider "women" and "men", it's exclusionary. Or what about age? If I say I'd never want to date someone 15+ years older or younger than me, isn't that also exclusionary? Or what if I say I wouldn't want to date someone who is devoutly religious? What makes some "exclusions" ok and others not?

"People of colour", fat people, & disabled people, are still their biological sex & aren't denying that. Trans are the only group asking others, including the group this person tried shoehorning them into, to deny biological sex & show sexual/romantic interest in them. "People of colour", disabled & fat people, are still men & women, who themselves aren't going to deny their sexual orientation is based on sex. By definition sexual orientation is exclusive. "Societal pressures" have nothing to do with inate sexuality & someone being sexually attracted to females (meaning females' sex organs which includes vagina 🙀🙀🙀), & not being attracted to males (including their sex organs which includes penis).

Sexual orientations are exclusive by nature, being based on sex & all. Always have, always will be. Whining about lesbians being lesbians, gay men being gay, or heterosexuals being heterosexual, get with those into you; because you're not getting rid of sexuality being based on sex. It's just not happening.
