Lesbians are getting bullied into dating trans women. And now there are demands from trans men that gay men date them. I bet a lot of pro trans gay people didn’t think this would happen. And some of those gay people actually support shaming homosexuals who won’t date transgenders.

Crazy shit. I don't feel like it's discrimination to not be attracted to them, some are some aren't. I can't control what gets my dick up; if there's a mole in the wrong place it's a turnoff, let alone surgery scars, build, scent and the like.

Exactly. You have a sexual orientation which must be respected. You also have sexual preferences, which have to be respected as well. I don’t date transgender people. I also don’t date men with long or medium hair.

Of course they do: they know there's zero pressure for FtMs or MtFs to date other trans people.

Even so, most of of them wouldn't do it.

Like Owen Jones, a liberal gay man who shamed lesbians for being "transphobic". When asked why doesn't he date transmen, he got incredibly butthurt about it.
