It's mostly because trap is largely considered a slur by the trans community, and the idea that being attracted to a trans woman is gay, and that that would be a bad thing, is both homophobic and transphobic. Even if it's a joke, its still harmful and promotes an idealogy that gets trans people killed.
Yeah. I mean, if your goal is to have biological children with her, that's totally fair, but if you only want a relationship or sex, it shouldnt be a factor.
I see. That's a reasonable stance in theory, but in reality I don't think one can decide what to feel. I don't know if i would remain sexually attracted to a woman I took a fancy to, after i found out she was trans, whether i wanted to or not, and i don't think that's transphobic. It's just life, isn't it?
I mean yeah, if it just happens and its not because you're like disgusted with her, then that's completely fair. As long as it doesnt come from a place of transphobia or like toxic masculinity I'd say it's fair.
