If your position is "I would never sleep with a trans person" you're just transphobic. I usually respond with "but what if they pass and are post op?" and the answer is almost always still no, because the problem isn't some specific sexual preference, the problem is they still view you as your AGAB.

Idk, I actually think it's valid to cut out groups of people from your potential fuck pool. Like, everybody already does this. Straight people cut out everyone of their own gender. How is this different? If I don't want to have sex with someone, how is that in any way a bad thing?
Weird how they feel the need to announce it instead of just having it. Almost like announcing it serves a social function, and it is obvious if you frame the same phenomenon through another bias:
"I only sleep with blond haired blue eyed white women"
Also fuck you have no idea how often I hear something about how trans women are unfuckable after turning a guy down.
The point of the meme isn't about whether you personally would want to sleep with someone who is trans, and whether that makes you a good person or not, its about how the first, second, and last thing a lot of people think about wrt trans people is whether they are fuckable or not. Its not good to objectify people, if you do it is transphobic/sexist/racist/whatever dehumanizing. But if you see trans people as people, and respect their gender, their right to express themselves openly even if you aren't sexually attracted to them, then this meme will never be a problem for you. And if you feel personally attacked by this meme, try and figure out why, because it's probably not about you. Don't be a creep isn't that complicated, folks

I'm a woman so I was never in a situation like this. I have more than few trans friends, including my neaphew god-father (that used to be his god-mother) and the problem with this meme is that the 👍is never the answer the comunity gives. They are indeed always very angry and are usually the first ones to say "transphobic". As I told my friend I think that we should use the word Transphobic with more care since there are a lot of really hateful people in the world that do indeed want to hurt you guys,.
If someone just comes up to someone out of the blue and says they won't have sex with you there's nothing wrong with being angry or telling them to fuck off... I'd do the same if someone came up to me and said that and I'm not trans. The situation in the comic is not about someone's preferences, it's about people who constantly bring up their preference out of the blue for no reason other than to use it as a weapon. You've never experienced that problem, neat, good for you. A lot of trans people do.

The people this meme is about are also women.
But they do have problems like this and this js what I'm talking about. The fact that you jumped head first to the conclusion that I think they are not women is the problem. Give people the benefit of the doubt
"I am a woman so I haven't been in the situation that these women have been in" doesn't make sense. Ypu clearly don't think they are women. Also, you are not the victim here.
You have 99 problems but I'm not one. Friendly tip: maybe look into some therapy

ALWAYS angry? Meaning your friends call you transphobic for not having sex with them? They're NEVER cool with people's preferences? Your friends sound toxic as hell, I've never had that experience with my trans friends.
Not my friend, as I said i don't have this specific proble but this is a trend I have seen in the comunity in general s someone involved in it.
Exactly - if you don't want to date a trans person don't. If someone conceals it, that's not an issue with them being trans, that's an issue with them being dishonest. It's ok to dislike dishonest people.
