How? It's the exact same fake vagina you're already attracted to.

The idea of it is identical to it if the idea you have in your ahead actually addresses it. The idea of what it used to be like is not the idea of it.
Quote: Sexual attraction is a complex thing, and is completely involuntary.
Yes it's completely involuntary and for the Nth time if someone genuinely becomes turned off after discovering someone is trans I'm not saying that's transphobic. I'm making an argument against the very idea that they are as genuinely turned off as they think they are, because they're not actually addressing the transwoman they claim to not be attracted to, they're addressing who the transwoman previously was, a person they've never even met. They're wrestling with their own imagination and their own images in their head about the past and feeling icky rather than their perception of someone they're attracted to.
When one is attracted to something, usually it is not just to the visual, tactile aspects of it. It is also to presumed properties that are not readily directly observed. For example when you fall in love with a woman you assume she is not an axe murderer disguising her past.
It seems pretty reasonable for some people to ascribe functionality to an attractive vagina that could not be readily observed, and which are overwhelmingly likely to be present in a normal healthy woman, but would be absent in a transgender woman.
If the sexual attraction depends on these presumed traits, then they would be weakened or destroyed if these traits were revealed to be absent.
