If sexuality was about gender expression then what's stopping gays from not liking GNC people of the opposite sex that don't identify as trans?

I'm a lesbian and when I see a tranny I have much the same reaction. Every fiber of my being screams that something is wrong and there is a threat. Until a few years ago I would push those feelings down and "be nice" (never dated one of course) but now I don't even bother. I avoid or sneer. And that's even for the "passing" ones.

On the other hand, there's a lot of transmen that are just stuck at being cute butchy girls, that I do feel some kind of attraction to because everything about them is still 'woman'. Obviously even if I think they're attractive I avoid them too because they're batshit or dealing with stuff I just do not need to have in my life, but the rules of attraction don't change.

The funny thing is that there was a poll i saw that was taken a year(maybe two)ago that showed that more lesbians are willing to date a trans man than a trans woman and the trans people on reddit were complaining about it."Gee it's almost like biological sex still matters and no one cares about gender identity."Also saw that only 11% of lesbians were willing to date a trans woman.I seriously am curious as to how many gay people truly support the "trans women are women and trans men are men" narrative yet wont date a trans person that was the opposite sex.

What are the odds most of that 11% of lesbians were actually transbians. Because it was either that or they are lying. Because even the bisexual women who would be attracted to a transwoman are few and far between. The only women who have sex with transwomen are the women who married a man who transed years into the marriage and she's still stuck on loving the man she married enough to try and go along with his new identity.

Yeah sometimes I'll see one of those nonbinary girls and think, "she'd probably be drop-dead gorgeous if she stopped trying to look like a pseudo-male". It's a shame what this social contagion is doing to people who might've otherwise turned out normal.
