Because straight men (much like gay women) are the ultimate validation of their personal reality. It's proving to the entire world (but to themselves especially) that they're real women, not just a make-believe approximation Frankensteined into shape by a nightmarish combination of drugs, surgical mutilation, and extreme denial of facts.

But heterosexual men are heterosexual because they don't want to have sex with other men, and if you were born with a penis? You're a man, and therefore not part of a heterosexual man's dating pool, even if some doctor later did some knifework on it.

I'm going to be honest but the T needs to be drop because if the T is the hill that gay people are willing to die on by making it seem like they're really women and harass straight men for not giving trans people a consideration for dating then they're showing they are hypocrites.

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.
