remember: if a queer space is not welcome to allies, then it is not welcome to closeted folks or non-passing folks. having to disclose your queerness to gain entry is inherently exclusionary of so many queer ppl. allies are always welcome and encouraged!!

You're implying that trans men aren’t men here with this take... trans men aren’t sexual exploration gateways into dating cis people. If someone isn’t into men (note that cis was not specified!) it’s fucked up & fetishy to imply they would still be into trans men and should "try it". Weird response all around. 0/10 do better

Sorry you think it’s a problem for telling someone to respect when they say they don’t like men. Instead of flipping out on someone you might want to actually consider their perspective. No need to act like your whole world got shattered because someone pointed out that you said smth fucked up

You literally said if they don’t like men they might like trans men which a) ignores the friend's stated sexuality, b) removes trans men from the (supposedly) all-encompassing category of men, c) freaked out when I pointed it out. If you think you're right, don't hide behind whining. Actually defend your opinion & take mine apart ("nuh-uh!" isn't an argument). By suggesting they could be into trans men after a stated preference against men, you are removing trans men from manhood.

I’m saying you have no idea if the person dated trans men or cis men. You just know that the dude dated "men" and assumed that meant cis men. That’s a problem. Idk why you're pretending it isn’t. You are part of the group of people separating trans people out of the dating pool by saying things like that
