I have a terrible time deciding whether somebody, in an article or a posting, who is “trans” and calls themselves he or she..... whether they are male or female. If you were a dating woman and responded to a he and discovered that he is a she, you’d be justifiable upset. The same is true for a dating man.
The issue is this. A trans person is looking for another trans person, but they want that other person to be heterosexual and to accept them as...well, the “correct” sex. That is not going to happen. Period. Ever. Heterosexual people are, by definition, looking for other heterosexual people. Why would they accept something that may look like the real thing, even be “modified” but is not the real thing? Heterosexuals are likely looking for a mate they can have children with. Not something that more-or-less looks like the real thing.
If it’s ok for people to only be attracted to their own gender, then it’s ok for people to only be atttracted to “born opposite” genders. They can’t have it both ways. They’ve screamed how it’s perfectly fine to love whom you want, and if that’s a real man with an actual penis (or vice verse) then how can you fault someone?
Easy fix. Whenever you see the term "trans" or "transsexual", replace it with the word "fake". Thus, a transsexual female is a "fake" female...which makes them a male.
Transgenders are so privileged today that lesbians who refuse to have sex with mentally ill men in dresses with full plumbing are accused of being transphobic.
It is called “the cotton ceiling”.
