[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The one point I will give her is that pressuring/shaming people about not wanting to date trans men or women who haven’t transitioned  is just absolutely crazy. Wtf-if I can have a preference for not dating gingers why in the world wouldn’t people be able to have a preference re: type of genitals? [/quote]

FWIW, I run in very lefty, very queer, circles and have never seen anyone shamed for who they don't date. I have seen people shamed for being jerks about who they don't date, though. So, if you are putting an ad up on a queer dating site, and lead with NO FATTIES, you are going to get pushback. If you just happen to only date super fit women, no one is going to harass you about it.

The point is that leading with exclusionary language is hurtful, where as just having a preference is being human. [/quote]

I actually have seen shaming on social media about it, though. I realize that’s not real life but  there is a vocal minority that feel that way. I absolutely agree no one should be a jerk (and I understand for many people it wouldn’t be an issue traction wise which is great!) but it definitely is a real, not entirely fringe viewpoint. (And I think jkr’s other points are bs.) [/quote]
