I think that your “preference” is based on very sloppy thinking rooted in ambient transphobia. I think you are also confusing a desire for precision of thought with being pedantic.

I think you’re trying to imply that preferences are neutral facts. I think you should consider how you’d react to someone saying “I am only attracted to white women” or “I am only attracted to 18 y/o women”. Do you think their preference is a neutral fact or an expression of something?

Oh, also, expression of “preference” is different than having a preference. Ask why you felt the need to say it in this thread.

I have a preference. Am I not allowded to have a preference that you disagree with? I should just accept what you want and keep my mouth shut?

At minimum keep it to yourself. Ask yourself what the utility of saying it is. Because what I read is “I support trans people but I still find them gross personally because if I don’t say that people will think I’m a f*g”

So you’re telling me that I should stay in the closet because you don’t like my chosen lifestyle?

Do you hear what you’re saying?

Ask yourself what the utility of saying it is.

The meme was about people who use “cis” as an insult and the people who find it insulting. My comment completely disarms the fanatics who use “cis” as a slur by embracing the word the way that it was originally intended to be used AND by using it in a way that those fanatics don’t like.

“I support trans people but I still find them gross personally”

This is an utterly ridiculous straw man. Literally worthy of ridicule. These are bad arguments and you should be ashamed to have made them.

You clearly don’t have anything to say that is worth of discussion.

I think you make some very good points.

It’s also important to remember that “perfect” is the enemy of “good”. There will never be a perfect ally, because allies don’t have the same lived experience. But (I think) that allyship is still a good thing.
