Scientists Baffled: Most Straight People Do Not Want to Date Trans People

Big headline: Study finds that most straight people aren't gay.

Actually, the study also found that most gay people don't want to date trans people either.

I'm just going to venture a guess here: that's because people are attracted to people of a specific, real sex, not a made up one, or one you assert contrary to the biological facts on the ground because you "feel" that way.

By the way: Does the Brave New World of government-mandated orgy-porgy sex and soma require that sex be purely a hedonistic activity, and that normal men and women may have no interest whatsoever in childbirth?

I mean, is it even permissible to note that not only is childbirth a natural consequence of many/most sexual unions, but is sometimes even -- please don't deplatform me! -- a desired consequence?

A recent Journal of Social and Personal Relationships study found that nearly 90 percent of survey respondents are not interested in dating transgender people. In a Psychology Today article on the study, coauthor Karen Blair implies these findings demonstrate significant discrimination--or at least an unwillingness to be inclusive�in dating. However, instead of pointing out the obvious truth that biological cues are foundational for sexual and romantic attraction, the author goes to great lengths to convey sympathy for the exclusion of transgenders in the dating field as if it's merely a social justice issue. This is yet another avenue progressives are using to encourage others to deny biological reality and normalize abnormal behaviors.

... The results showed "87.5% of the participants who were asked this very question only checked off the cisgender options and excluded transgender and non-binary individuals from their hypothetical dating pool." Blair explains how important finding love is to happiness. Hardly anyone would disagree with her there. Then she goes on to say, "If very few people are willing to date trans people, what does this mean for their health and well-being? If trans and non-binary people lack access to one of the most stable sources of social support, this could explain some of the existing health disparities within trans communities."

2/ (and yes I realize trans is a big umbrella covering everything from no transition to indistinguishable from cis folks, but the point is that people's attraction patterns, at root, largely have to do with biological sex cues. You can't ideology your way out of that) — Jesse Singal (@jessesingal) June 18, 2019

3/ As more and more elites in progressive organizations decide either that they don't think sex is a thing anymore, or that it's too costly to defend the position that yeah, it's a thing, you're gonna see some weeeeeeeeeird stuff emerge — Jesse Singal (@jessesingal) June 18, 2019

So thus begins the pressure for straight people to have sex with same-sex people.

Strange that it's a hate crime to suggest that gay people should try to be straight, but it's now a pet project of the left to pressure straight people to be gay.

Apparently this will help the 0.1% of the population that is trans.

You know what would help the 97% of the population that is straight and normal as far as sexual identification? If the oddly-sexed people would just act straight and normally-sexed, so we wouldn't have these bizarre flare-ups of rage and entitlement.

But we've decided that, as regards sexual minority, it's wrong to pressure them into being different than they are just in order to spare the rest of society some discomfort and awkwardness.

Why does this rule not extend in the opposite direction? Why are people with more bog-standard sexualities not permitted to be just as God made them -- Born This Way, you know -- without being hassled about it?

Why does the obligation to Live and Let Live only run in one direction?

Also: Given that this is now either a majority or near-majority position on the left -- isn't it time to start quizzing Democrat candidates about whether they believe that straight, cis people have a moral, social, and who knows, maybe one day legal obligation to be open to having sex with someone of the same sex?

George Stephanopolous asked Mitt Romney about banning birth control, and that was a far more fringe position on the right than the idea that straight, cis people should be open to gay sex is on the left.

BTW: Why don't trans people just date trans people?

Oh, right: Because they have an innate attraction to people of a specific sex.

So, they're permitted to be sexually attracted to whoever they're sexually attracted to, but the rest of us will just have to brainwash ourselves into having a different sexuality. We'll have to have sex with people we don't want to have sex with to show that we're not "transphobic."
