Oh my fucking god, this might be the most badass comeback to those shitty "it's gay" arguments I've heard in a long time 😂

With the demographic this comeback is aimed at: yes, likely pedophiles.

I actually discovered I was gay (or realistically just not straight) when my partner transitioned XD

I thought i was at least 20% gay for being okay with transwomen. I now realize im 100% gay b3cause im a transwoman with a wife.

Win-win? Happy partner, happy you?😂

Some may disagree but even the idea that trans women were ever men in the first place is kinda backwards. Trans people have the brains of the gender they are and we are our brains, not our genitals. Trans people are just adjusting their body to the identity they always were in the first place.

Also, even if you're ill informed enough to think its gay....so what? Why is being gay bad? Enough with the fucking bigotry already get over yourselves.

It's like misogyny, why is being compared to a woman an insult? Fuck bigotry, especially the borderline genocide happening to trans people right now.

This is an oversimplification. It often (not always) aligns closer to the affirmed gender, but neuroscientists often describe post-mortem trans brains as a mosaic.

I wish I understood this earlier than like 4 years sgo. They don't teach it at school in the country where I and Miisha live, even the "woke" one I went to (or I don't remember, I was super ignorant back then)...

This country sucks ass. Fuck this place tbh :p

Better late than never :)

I agree! This comment is true

To be accurate, you are what you are, both mentally and physically. Both count, and both are valid reasons to be attracted to or not attracted to someone. What labels those are given can be nuanced or not, depending on the audience and intention. That's the reality of it all.

Nah idk about all this washy washy shit. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. THATS the reality.

"Nooo, it's because they're actually a 1000 year old reincarnated male dragon!"

Is this a reference to that person that wanted to be refered to with dragon pronouns a while back?

It's referencing all the loli fans who enjoy CSAM and justify it by calling the girls 1000 year old reincarnated male dragons.

hey, at least they aren't lusting after real children

I agree there - i am pretty sure that this has more of a preventative effect than anything else. It also allows these people to actually realize that there's something off before they come into a situation that might hurt someone. For sure better than not having much of a clue.

These things often happen out of the convenience of the situation, and i am pretty sure that there are many out there that realized they have these impulses and simply stay away from being alone with children altogether because they are in principle good people that do not want to do harm. But that needs some possible situation where you can realize that beforehand, and the loli-trope is for sure one of the best ways to find out.

I'd rather they be honest about their lust instead of trying to deny what everyone can clearly see.

They can only be honest with themselves if they realize it first, which needs some contact with it without the possibility to cause harm. And if they realize it and are decent people (having these impulses do not make you an awful person - only acting on them does), they will decide to stay away from being alone with children. Whether they then look at drawings or not does not make much of a difference afterwards.

There are no statistics for things like these that are really showing the amount of people who fight with this because of the social stigma and massive consequences attached to being outed as someone who finds children attractive, but i am sure it's a lot bigger part of society than we all think - a big indicator is the all-time top porn category of "barely 18" and the amount of people who count down the days until a teen actor becomes "legal".

Not if they are hiding it from themselves as well - in that case, much better that they just keep fantasizing about cartoons and accepting painted body pillows as the best irl option

Oh… Ignorance truly is bliss

Truly lol

Yep. Sadly it's staggeringly common in the anime community 😔

surprisingly I've never heard this (yet..)

miisha ur mania is hitting again 🥺

miisha ur mania is hitting again 🥺

Some things/people...it's better to let them hit :3

Only hitting i will accept is ass slaps. Amd he better be hitting it right. 😏

Oh he's hitting it right alright, and I'm not even talking about ass slaps 😂
Ass slaps are good too tho :3

Quickly! Get her to the local queer meetup before the mania is over! (She's in dire need of IRL friends, and I can't be there for her because of distance and parents)

I appreciate the efforts, I do, but could you please stop? I don't feel like it. I'm just not doing it. Sorry

Only flaw I see here is the correlation between people who say dating a trans woman is gay and membership in the Grand Ole Pedo party

It's not correlating the two, it's comparing the two to make a point.
