it's time for us all to agree that it sucks to reduce people down to their junk.

That's not what's happening. People are attracted to the whole person, including their secondary and primary sexual characteristics. A gay man saying a dick is a requirement is not him saying all he wants is a dick.

The only ones reducing people down to their genitals here is the trans lobby that insists a man having his dick inverted or a woman having her arm skin sewn into a flesh sock magically makes them the opposite sex.

People are attracted to the whole person, including their secondary and primary sexual characteristics.

Been saying this for a while. Attraction is holistic, and it's not just physical. It also includes perceptions of the other person's current and potential future mental health.

Holistic is a good word for it. Somebody's past also figures into attraction for me, too. I'm not attracted to people who haven't had the experience of growing up female. (And MtF's bullshit line of "but we experienced things as female even though we were perceived as male!" doesn't cut it, either.)
