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.
Because the mind is complex like that. The idea of something can turn you off despite anything else.
For example, if I had a casserole that I thought tasted delicious and later found out the meat in it is monkey brains. I can then feel completely repulsed by it and want to puke, when initially I thought it tasted good. And if someone offered it to me again I would refuse, and the smell of it would make me want to puke, even though I initially I thought it smelled good.
Likewise, a person can feel attracted to a vagina, but upon being told that it's actually cut up penis tissue, feel involuntarily unattracted to it.
"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."
