Try to turn that into conclusion using "so" or " therefore".I can’t help but notice, despite your insistence on only being attracted to “afab people,” that none of your descriptions of what you’re attracted to are dispositive of trans women (nor trans men nor non-binary people tbh)
It was a metaphor. Sorry you couldnt catch it.Nice. Now gender identity is being compared to a danger that others need to be warned about.
I caught it.
I also caught the fact that your mind immediately went for a *dangerous* situation as a metaphor. You could have gone with many, but the one you felt was most appropriate was "informing other people of dangers".
The metaphors we chose often say a lot about our thoughts,
This is what a "metaphor" is.I caught it.

Is it a gender affirming experience to be mansplained to?
Congrats on not sounding like a douche lmao.Hahaha you got me there!
The only people I've ever felt attraction to were coincidently women who were attracted to men. Except for two lesbians who also found an attraction towards me. Surprising, I know. But it happens.
Mostly smart, sporty, energetic, fun to be with, women.
Take that statement as you wish.
[Edit]
I understand. You think that afab then includes women who then transfer themselves into men.
Eh.
No.
I wouldnt be attracted to that. Because I am attracted to women.
jumping in here way too late but i'm browsing the latest pages here and may have been answered. and i may have misunderstood the thread of discussion. as always, i'm kinda hazed out, but let's try.You’re seriously arguing there’s no difference if someone who’s not an expert can’t immediately detect the difference? This is the strange new world we live in. I’m pretty sure you know what I’m talking about but won’t allow yourself to admit it because of the prevailing dogma.

i believe the cup was novakart's but yea.
i'm genderfluid btw so i relate to some of it. but i don't really have the real experience of transness as such, and can't properly relay some of the things going on. then i'm not as useful as you in the discourse
and yea it's really strange that so often discussions divulge into whether people should bang trans people or not, as if that's the whole purpose of a human being
i mean, sex exists, trans people exist, trans people having sex exist. discussing sex calmly is allowed on the forum, and quite family friendly, yes. i'm not sure the tangent (albeit weird as pointed out) is unfit at all, unless it's the idea of trans people having sex that's somehow inappropriate.
Who wants to talk about word coinage when we can talk about, er, plumbing?it has veered so far from its source, i'm surprised it's not closed again
So long in length, not yet a month old in time.In fact, it's survived so long that if it were a serial thread, it'd be on the verge of turning over!

i think the discussion was about attraction to trans people. whether inherently being unattracted to trans people is inherently transphobic. at least if so, in which case, the perceptible difference is literally the whole point. if you drink from a cup thinking it's made of iron when it's infact made of plastic, and you don't like plastic, you will naturally be grossed out when you find out that you were tricked by the perceptible difference.
the question, then, is that you perceived the cup as drinkable before you found out it was plastic. when people say the difference doesn't matter, they appeal to the concrete; trans is just a state. you thought it was iron. why are people all of a sudden then grossed out it's plastic?
you can be attracted to body types, and be unattracted to body types. but being trans does not mean a specific body type. if you like the cup whether it's plastic or not, trans people will stop yelling at you.
