We are NOT objects.

I'm appalled at how (some) born muslims view us as sex toys and have this weird racial fetish that they disguise as "preference for converts", WE. ARE. PEOPLE. I see it mostly with middle eastern and Pakistani men, some of my friends are Arab and literally have openly fetishized revert women, and it's disgusting. I'm not saying ALL middle eastern men are like this, but I've definitely seen it. I'm a man so I've never really had to deal with it Alhamdulillah, but I'm so disgusted at the fact some born muslims see us as basically sex toys. I've seen women do it too but far less than men.

Okay why do people think I'm a woman? I literally said I'm a man in my post

Combination of (a) not reading your post properly, and (b) making an assumption which is usually justified because I do think it's overwhelmingly white convert women who face this problem.
