Got kicked out of a trans guy fb group today for calling out the admin's messed up beliefs about sexual orientation. He refused to accept that some people are not sexually attracted to all genitals and insisted straight men/lesbian women must like penises if it is attached to...
...a woman. He also declared gay men/straight women must like vulvas if they are attached to men.

So-called "genital preference" is something I have very strong feelings about. One cannot and should not be forced to be sexually attracted to something they are not. Ever.
To believe that is to deny people the right to consent, the right to practice their sexual orientation, and the right to bodily autonomy. Consent and bodily autonomy are what trans rights are built upon.

Whilst excluding all trans people from one's dating pool may be seen...
...as transphobic (it's not as simple as that), excluding someone because of the genitals you *know* they have is fine. "Normal", even.

It's cool that some people do not have such "preferences". It is also cool that some people do.
