trans*lation of the day: #the dating dilemma

1. If you aren’t attracted to trans men/women you are not a REAL (!11!) gay man/lesbian woman

= Your sexual orientation and attraction should depend on the current identity in someones mind.

2. I’m not saying that you HAVE to date them - but you will be called transphobic and cissexist.

= There will be consequences and guilt tripping if you say no

3. Omg I’m not talking about sleeping with them! Not everyone wants to have sex!

= Just become celibate and date someone you aren’t attracted to. Your desires don’t matter.

4. By not dating trans people you are implying that they aren’t real men/women!

= You are obligated to validate peoples current identities with your body/time and attention.

5. Refusing to date someone because they are trans is transphobia!

= I ignore that biological sex and sexual orientation are a thing in order to make you look like an oppressor.
