you know what i think cis people, and especially lgb cis people, rely too much on people validating their romantic revulsion to trans people. like i’ve never met an lgb trans person who wasn’t asked “what do you think of gay people who aren’t willing to date you because of your transition status/agab/etc” and it’s the emotional labor we’re forced to carry to just say “no i don’t think you’re an evil cis gay for not being attracted to me, it’s within your right to have boundaries” an whatnot lest we be The Evil Transes Who Will Rape You.

like is it not enough to just reject us and go? can you just be satisfied in the knowledge that, yes you are rejecting us because we’re trans, but you’re gonna leave us with enough dignity to not say that’s why. we already know our attractiveness is in a permanent state of “up for debate” can you at least do this the simple courtesy of shutting up about it?

thank you to all the cis lesbians reblogging this but i still see almost no cis men reblogging it

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING TO OTHER CIS QUEER LADIES FOR AGES.

You’re not obligated to date anyone you aren’t attracted to (although trans women are all so vastly different and many people don’t realize that. I used to say I wouldn’t date trans women, then thought really hard about why, and guess what? I realized I was transphobic, despite being engaged to a trans man at the time. And I realized I was attracted to trans women after all.)

But you also don’t need to be a dick?? Just say no thanks?? It’s really fucking simple?? Like you would to any cis person you aren’t attracted to?? You don’t need to put it in your profile and make it part of your identity ffs!
