You didn't understand my post did you?

That's not what I said though.
I said someone who *is* attracted to a transperson *because* they think they're cis... who then discovers the person is in fact trans and suddenly acts all turned off and disgusted... is bigoted. Because they're lying to themselves. If they're attracted, they're attracted.

I'm not talking about sexual organs. I'm talking about someone being sexually attracted to a person and then suddenly pretending they're no longer attracted once they discover that they were born different to how they are now.
Who the fuck is attracted to organs? Penises and vaginas that aren't attached to people is just playing with sex toys. Hereosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality and pansexuality is all about being attracted to PEOPLE.
It's not about whether someone was genetically born with a specific set of genitals. It's about whether you're attracted to a person or not. And if you are.... you are.

I agree. And I'm not saying that.
I'm talking about people who ARE initially attracted and then retroactively change their mind and pretend not to be due to a phobia once they discover irrelevant info.
No, I think it's fine to not be attracted to someone anymore once you find out they are biologically male/female and you're not attracted to that sex.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
