"Sex is real" is a TERF dogwhistle, but also everyone knows that sex is real and no one is arguing otherwise.

If you agree with what JK Rowling literally says, why attack her as a 'TERF' unless you just hate women?

If this guy is attracted to 'masculinity', is he also attracted to masculine women who identify as women? Or does his attraction have something to do with the signifiers of sex?

If no one is saying sex isn’t real, why do TRAs flip their lid when anyone says “sex is real?”

All I'm saying is the all the people who freak out when you mention the shape of the earth have something in common, and it isn't agreeing with you.

Well either he is a bi dude who is lying about not being attracted women to score brownie points. Or he is a gay guy lying about being attracted to "masculinity" to score brownie points. The constant need to support whoever else is at the bottom of the totem pole is incredibly self destructive. Either way the guy is self righteously lying to elevate himself and that always is going endear ire to me.

I tend to suspect most of them (especially those who haven't gone as far as to attempt to sleep with a trans person) are attracted to the secondary sex characteristics recreated by testosterone as opposed to being bi. They just look at pictures like he posted and go thats hot without having to ever do more.

Virtue signalling really seems like a harmful affliction at this point.

"Reason be damned, I just want internet points!"

So since you're a bisexual attracted to masculine people, whether male or female, then that means everyone else has to also be bisexual? What about gay men attracted to feminine men? What are they if they aren't attracted to women at all, masculine or feminine?

I am of the opinion that men who have sex with men and then purport attraction to trans men, but not women, are not bisexuals but rather bullshitting gay men.

People lie out both sides of their mouth, in real life but especially online. He has never hovered anywhere near a vagina of any kind in his life. He thinks he looks cool and he doesn't have to back the claim up with any action, so why not lie?

"Gender Addled Gays" good god, I hate these people. Biological sex is real, a true homosexual will not be attracted to someone of the opposite sex, no matter how well they pass. Get over it.

I mean I will disagree in some regard. Sexual attraction is based on some instinctive physical triggers and some unicorn FtMs can pass to some degree and set off those triggers. The issue is that as soon as the shirt or pants come off it will freak me out in an uncanny valley sort of way.

Even if I were to overlook that physical ambiguity, the fact that the person is psychotically devoted to living in an alternate reality is a deal breaker.

So I can be sexually attracted up to a point but then the attraction falls off a cliff and yes the vast majority of FtMs will look nothing like the unicorns that they always present.

I agree, they are attractive because your brain is assuming all the male parts are there. When the clothes come off then you can't not see they are women. Yet they act like it is weird that the vagina should change the attraction.

So does this mean masc4masc is not problematic anymore, or just for when actual gay dudes are making personal ads.
