Yeah, but you gave the example of an apple. I returned the favor with another food analogy.
My analogy worked though.

Yeah pretty much. And I'm saying ghost dicks don't have anything to do with convincing transwomen that you're attracted to.

They're talking about a vagina that's made out of dick tissue. Frankly, I wish transsexual people had a better option, but this is the reality. Let's not pretend it isn't.
We're already assuming that the person has been fully convinced by this artifical vagina made of a penis though. The fact they can't stop thinking about penises when they're already attracted just because someone told them what it used to be like in the past, isn't relevant and let's not pretend it is.

The op q asks us...on the basis of their having been trans alone, it's not asking us about our bodily preferences - which we all have ad I don;t think anyone can really be faulted for having.
Yup. And all the bodily preference tickboxes are already checked when you are fully convinced by a person's appearance so much so that you think they're a ciswoman even after seeing and having sex with their transvagina.
Finding out what they used to look like might make you recoil in disgust but it's not relevant to the person you're actually attacted to now, and if you think it is I ask you why you think it is and I think it hints at transphobia.
General sense of "you", not you personally: from what I've read you seem to actually get this.

As much as I consider this line offensive (although it doesn't offend me personally), it made me laugh. I am just not sure if the humor was unintentional or not.
Death metal for a penis slicing vid. Lmao.
Of course, I consider it offensive because it seems to be demeaning an operation that means a lot to transpeople. But we can't help what we find amusing just like we can't help what we find attractive. If I'd found it funny because it was a transwoman being operated on, then that would have been another matter. That would have been a transphobic reaction on my part.
And yeah, I think people are confused if they think they're attracted to women because they're women or attracted to men because they're men or whatever. They're attracted to particular appearances and biologically they're programmed by natural selection to be attracted to the appearances of males, females, neither or both. And most are attracted to the opposite sex because that encourages sexual reproduction which evolution strives for via natural selection.
Your penis doesn't know the difference between a perfect visual and sensory illusion of a woman and a woman. Nor does your mind. We happen to be born with innate attractions to certain sorts of people, usually but not always the opposite sex. Being attracted to someone because they're a particular biological sex.... that's like having a fetish for chromosones or something.
And, not happening to ever have found a black person you find attractive is not racist at all. Believing you probably never will based on your experience is not racist at all either. But if you find yourself attracted to a black person and then bury those feelings because they're a black person.... then that does hint at racist motives behind that burying of your true feelings. And THAT is analgous to finding a transwoman attractive and then recoiling once you discover what she used to be, recoiling because she's trans, and because she wasn't born with a vagina, rather than just because you don't happen to be into how she appears.
It wouldn't even be wrong if on further inpection she no longer seems convincing to you and you get turned off. But we're talking about you still remaining convinced and still finding her attractive but deludedly thinking that because of how she used to be then that must be icky when it has absolutely nothing to do with the person that you're STILL attracted to. And what drives that delusion?
Once I have found what seems like a bunch of perfectly accurate points and someone responds in such a way that shows they have misunderstood my argument.... it's really hard to not just repeat the same arguments because they're already accurate. I try to explain them better but I'm already explaining them as well as I can. I need a break.
