So boom imma explain this.

I’m taking the time to respond and educate because I care about you as a person. But know this is stressing and taking a lot of energy out of me. https://twitter.com/yafavlajuvie/status/1287039420236009472">https://twitter.com/yafavlaju...
As for this tweet that I quote tweeted:

The problem is you keep associated genitalia and gender.

Your original statement was about being attracted to trans ppl. Not wanting to date someone because they are trans is transphobic.
You then brought up genitalia.
And as I mentioned before that’s reducing trans ppl to their genitalia.

You are making it seem that trans women equal women with penises. While that can be true that is not every trans woman’s experience. And trans womanhood is not defined by that.
Just like womanhood (even cisgendered womanhood) isn’t defined by having a vagina. Especially since biologically a lot of ciswomen (women who were assigned girl at birth) can fall short of what it means to be a “biological woman.”
Gender ≠ sex ≠ genitalia.
Gender ≠ genitalia ≠ sex.
But beyond that the fact you keep bringing up trans people then referring to their genitalia is problematic.

Why you pussy checking? Why you dick checking? Why do you care what is in this hypothetical person’s pants?

Why is this hypothetical only brought up with trans ppl??
The tea is you don’t know what equipment anyone has in their pants. You don’t know what chromosomes or hormones are running through whose body like a tomb raider.

So stop reducing trans people to fifth grade biology lessons. Sex and gender goes beyond the mitosis meiosis shit.
So even the argument “when I say I’m not attracted to trans women because sex and penises an-” is AHT AHT because you don’t know what they have.
Also it’s just tasteless you keep bringing up whether or not people are attracted to trans ppl. The way it keeps coming up is part of transphobic culture. It plays into this idea that trans ppl are trying to “fool” or “deceive” cismen when deceive them about what? I cackle.
Trans women are women. Some women can have penises and that’s a conversation to be had when intimacy arrives.

And liking trans women if you’re a man (cis or trans) don’t make you gay or bi or anything.
And again I want to reiterate this is not a matter of opinion or debate.

This is about real trans ppl lives. There is literature on it, videos, etc. Engage with them.

They can explain more of the nuance I don’t have the energy to rn.
And stop tweeting about whether or not you or anyone should date/be attracted to trans ppl. It’s weird. It’s offensive.

Even the framing makes it up for debate or it’s a question of “can trans...” which reveals a power dynamic where trans existence is questioned and policed.
And it’s these same rhetorical questions that gets trans ppl killed.

No but like literally. There are laws that say ppl can get away with killing trans ppl because of fear of a person being trans.

When you tweet stuff like that, that’s context you are evoking and don’t realize.
I made this thread out of love because I care about you and want you to grow.

But what you put on the tl now and in the past about trans ppl is harmful even if your intentions are good. And you can do better fam.
