Oh my fucking god, this might be the most badass comeback to those shitty “it’s gay” arguments I’ve heard in a long time 😂

      I really didn’t make this post with the intention of arguing about the semantics of labels. But I just want you to know, I disagree with you.

      And also…at least in my experience, men who are like that are usually chasers. Not all of them ofc, but I’ve had the pleasure before. Yuck…

          Chasers are people who fetishize certain things and are pretty aggressive about it ie, “chubby chaser,” etc.

          In this context, it’s someone who seeks out trans people. They’re usually toxic, af.

          People attracted to trans women as women aren’t fetishing their penis or are otherwise attracted to their penis for penis sake. They’re attracted to women.

          Our genitalia is not the be-all end-all of attraction.

              That’s why I specified “people attracted to trans women as women”.

              The meme doesn’t need to be countered because men attracted to women aren’t homosexual.

          If a person is really into the idea of getting fucked by someone with a penis, but completely put off by the idea of that someone being a big, strong guy, then, is it accurate to describe that person as attracted to men? I would argue no, as that is essentially reducing sex entirely down to genitalia.

          Now, I am sure that some would argue that this is a thing that doesn’t happen in practice, and that a man who is into dick but men is just in denial due to internalised homophobia. And I think that’s definitely true in at least some cases. But I think an alternative explanation is that the man may be one of the humblest of God’s creatures; the cishet male bottom.

              Women fuck men with strap ons all the time and that’s straight as hell. Why would that change if said woman has a real penis? That’s like arguing that gay men that top aren’t gay because an asshole is closer to a pussy than a dick.

              Straight men that want to be penetrated by a woman is tricky though.

              No. Men who enjoy being penetrated by women are still straight. Whether it’s a cis or trans woman, they’re still women.

              I’ve pegged many straight men. They’re still straight after I fuck them because I am a woman.

                  I’m a cis woman though it doesn’t make a difference here.

                  I have fucked a lot of men with my strap on. A lot of straight cis men.

                  If a man identifies as straight, who the fuck are YOU to define someone else’s sexuality using your outdated views of sexual acts as gender affirming acts.

                  That you are reducing trans women down to a “feminine presenting penis” is bigoted behavior.
