I'm not OP, but I am a trans guy and I think what she's trying to say is that she's into both (I.e. bi/pansexual), but she's not comfortable with cis men oversexualizing her body because of her genitals. Without getting into too much oversharing, I have a trans feminine FWB that is exactly like this. She's cool with other trans people, which is why I've got the greenlight to touch her however I like, and she's cool with ladies in general (cis and trans), but she's pretty sketch on cis men who go after her because she's trans.

I think OP is saying she feels like a hypocrite because it would be something like this:

Cis guy: I find trans women who are non-op sexy.

Her reaction would probably be something like "ew, go away".

But if you switched that to a cis woman saying it? She'd be cool with it.

For the record, OP, I don't think you're being hypocritical at all. Trans women do have a history of being commodified and traded like sex toy chattel by cis men, and I'd side-eye any person who blamed you or tried to shame you for being alright with doing something with your body with one person and not another. That's rapey as fuck if people are expecting you to do that.

Adding to this, it's perfectly legit to say "ew, go away" (figuratively speaking) to anyone's advance. You don't have to give a reason for liking or not liking a particular group of people, sexually speaking.

Yes, exactly. OP doesn't have to justify herself to these guys, which is what I have a sinking feeling is happening. After seeing cis male "chasers" in action both in RL and on the internet, the one thing I see that is a common thread is just how shockingly entitled they all are to trans women's bodies.

There's a huuuuge amount of sexual entitlement in our culture and a lot of it comes from straight cis men, directed towards a variety of other people. I'm not surprised trans women suffer a big brunt of that. They're ~different~ and ~exotic~, after all.

I disagree. It shows a gross double standard, and smacks of presumption.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-14 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
Blame the cis dudes for being so gross, then.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-15 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah because THAT'S not gross at all huh? Take your double standards elsewhere.

You disagree gender and sexuality aren't connected? They aren't. Sex and sexuality are, for the most part, since cisgendered males and females are 96-ish % Heterosexual.

I disagree that it's somehow excusable for a woman but terrible for a man.
