imo - genital preferences are transphobic. they come from all of us being taught a cis-orientated view of sex that alligns genitals as a crucial factor in ones sexuality.
- having a genital preference doesn’t mean you’re transphobic though, that’s just how you were socialised

I think many people with a genital preference can actually discover they’re into trans people, they just never knew bc they always subconsciously coded man = penis woman = vagina. upon experience with trans ppl they often end up finding out it’s not as important as it seemed

However I think for some people this just isn’t the case and their attraction is pretty set in stone due to how much they’ve been socialised at a young age. and that’s ok! I also take into consideration some ppl have trauma regarding certain genitals

This said, some ppl weaponise “i have a preference” when really they mean they would absolutely never date a trans person. A preference means liking one more than another, not complete exclusion. I think the undertone of complete exclusion is where ppl have an issue

because you can’t possibly conclude you’d never be attracted to a trans person, it could happen, after all there’s plenty of trans ppl you don’t know are trans. When you deny something logical, it’s often because you disagree with it, not because you believe disbelieve it

Profusely disagreeing with the possibility that you could ever be attracted to a trans person is usually where there’s an issue. It’s defensive and looks transphobic by virtue of essentially acting offended at the idea you would be attracted to a trans person like it’s *wrong*

Comprehensive breakdown:
- you like boys
- you’re taught boys have dicks
- you like dick because you like boys
- you spend 20 years liking dick bc you like boys
- a boy has a vagina and it puts you off bc you’ve spent forever lusting for dick and have no experience w coohie

- is it really unrealistic to conclude that maybe the outcome to this would change if you were taught boys can have dicks and vaginas?

Also I meant coochie but I guess coohie sounds cooler
