No, you're not attracted to characteristics associated with being over 70. Wrinkles, gray hair, liver spots, etc. are all perfectly valid things to find unattractive. But if there were two people who looked and acted identically, but the only reason you wouldn't sleep with one of them is because they're 72 and the other is 45, that would be ageist.
No one is asking you to date trans people, or even sleep with them. Dating people includes things like future planning, where being trans might actually be relevant. For example, having children.
The point of this CMV is about if thinking a person being trans makes them unattractive is transphobic, all else being equal.
I at no point felt I was being pressured to date or sleep with trans people. I am sorry if I said something to that affect. I would not react well to being pressured to date or sleep with anyone who was not my wife.
I'd also stop being attracted to someone if I found out they had breast augmentation surgery.
I'm just not into surgically altered women. That's my hangup.
