the trans dating discourse is useless. everyone knows what the correct answer is to “would you date a trans person?”. all you have to say is “of course!”, even if it’s a lie, and people will leave you alone. it says nothing about what you’d actually do in real life, so it’s useless for gauging someone’s true feelings.

additionally, wanting to date and/or have sex with someone does not mean you respect them or support their rights. there’s plenty of men hiring trans women for prostitution but they’re sure as hell not on the front lines of trans activism. either way, it’s a stupid way to gauge someone’s support of trans people.

It’s a great way to guilt women into sex though, which is why it keeps happening.
