If anything its just gynesexual which is attraction to femininity Which is just extended heterosexuality in my eyes

It esp makes me kinda upset when people say yes to that person.. yeah in my eyes it’s like no being attracted to women does not make you gay and if you don’t see trans women as women that’s it’s own thing and you shouldn’t be with them anyways

if they don’t have a bottom surgery, cis men will always not fully see them as 100% women and only as trans-women.

Tbh, I still dated a trans girl who had her penis. I didn’t know she still had it but it didn’t make much of a difference tbh

I’m not saying I necessarily agree with it or it’s 10% all the time. Just that with the amount of violence trans women have faced from cis men after finding out they still have a dick, kind of just goes to reveal the cis-men’s homophobia.

you said that cis men as a group would never be able to see the full womanhood of transgender and transsexual women who haven’t had bottom surgery. don’t backpedal now! it’s a generalization of cis men, i’m just saying it’s a reach, an assumption, hyperbolic and unrealistic in the way that YOU framed it, but trust, i knew what you meant lol.

but the point of being a trans woman is not to be a cis woman hence the name trans woman so they know what they’re getting into

Hmm I’ve never heard of that term and I’m attracted to femininity(usually regardless of sex or gender). The more you know! 🌈 💫

Idk that sounds hella invalidating to the people I know who are queer and gynesexual if anything I’d say heteroflexible is closer to that seeing how many straight cis men have been using it

you’re getting downvoted but the Ladyboys in Thailand would agree with you.

gender norms and the construct of transness vary a lot from culture to culture. the original post isn’t about kathoeys (“ladyboy”, while reclaimed by some kathoey, is a contentious label) and their place in Thai culture as part of a gender system that traditionally isn’t limited to just “male or female”… it’s about trans women. presumably in the western context since not specified otherwise

I thought Ladyboys didn’t view themselves as “trans” but literally labeling themselves as essentially men in drag. Maybe im missing something here

kathoey is a gender category that does include Some self-described trans women. there are also kathoey who were assigned male at birth, present in a feminine fashion, and wouldn’t exactly self-describe as men or as women. there isn’t really an equivalent categorical term in the west, kathoey have been considered a “third gender” of sorts for a very long time

gotcha, thanks for clarifying.

but for context, it also wouldn’t really make sense to simply describe them as “nonbinary” because they’re coming from a culture that doesn’t historically limit their system of gender to a binary in the first place. anyway, I’m no expert, but to say “the kathoeys would agree” is a vast oversimplification
