She should ask on Reddit or Twitter. Apparently there's tons of gay men on both platforms who say they are attracted to pronouns and gender... unless they're full of shit. No one on the internet could possibly lie about saying they'd date trans people for woke points, right?

Most of the people who say they're open to it are in long term committed relationships so they have the 1 and only excuse for not dating trans.

For now at least. Probably won't be too long before they start demanding people end their relationships to date trans people.

I've wondered about this. Monogamy is distinctly un-queer, and the most exclusionary practice out there outside of celibacy.

Trans rights activists probably won't go after monogamy as a major part of their efforts, though, because there are too many monogamous straight couples. LGB people are an easier target because there are fewer of us.

No joke, back when I was on tumblr I got pressured to become "polyamorous". Some people have no shame.

lol I had IRL friends at one point who pressured me to become polyamorous. We are no longer friends.

Yup, knew a guy in high school who did the same.

Nah just demand polyamory from all cis people, we're allowed our cis girlfriend and are assigned a "stunning and brave trans gal" to date too.

That is until monogamy gets labeled as transphobic for whatever reason, like heteronormativity (even though a trans person and a "gay" person is a heterosexual relationship) and so you'll just have to cheat on your partner with a trans person to prove that you aren't a bigot

I myself get a raging boner over some pronouns. They're better than Viagra.

Yup. Nothing like a good she/her in the bio to get me going

I prefer a she/they. Then I know the lady's got some personality in her, not just a boring cis-gal 😍
