i don’t think people fully understand why i’m upset by this so let’s break down why this tweet is really offensive (and specifically transphobic)
“i’m attracted to women, men” okay that’s fine
“REALLY attracted to queer men” so… you’re attracted to what? men who like other men? that’s a little fetishistic…
“non binary people” also fine
“intersex people” you’re saying you’re attracted to a specific kind of genitalia. this is also fetishization
“trans people” here’s the real kicker. you already said nb people, so you couldn’t mean them, therefore this has to mean that you don’t think trans men and women are real men and women. you think trans people are some special category.
she’s transphobic, everybody. it’s not that deep
cis people can and should reblog this post
she deleted the tweet and then posted these:
She’s obviously very willing to be educated. Can we please stop expecting people to be perfect feminists 24/7?
Also… people being more attracted to other queer people more than they are to straight people is 100% normal. Let’s chill.
I think the point of her original tweet was obvious in that she was trying to be inclusive of everyone, meaning someone’s gender identity holds no bearing on whether or not she’d be romantically interested in them. Y’all find a way to pick apart everything tho. Kudos to her for the genuine apology and correction.
