Do people who advocate for this sort of thing not have a lot of sex? I’m just curious.

Um do they not realize transwomen are gonna come for them too?

nmllers · July 9, 2020, 2:50 p.m.

literally what I'm thinking. They often use transmen as a trojan horse! Once you let transmen in, then there's a floodgate of transwomen right behind them!

No one, irrespective of sex or sexuality, who has options complains publicly about not being part of some people's dating pool. It's incels whining that women have standards, and trans people (who btw don't want to date trans people themselves, or at least prefer people that aren't trans) with no options that want to cry oppression/discrimination because no one wants them. It's toddler behaviour but this time in adults.

It’s not homoGENDERual

Many would disagree that such dating preferences can be described as transphobic, and say same-sex attraction is not related to gender. When asked for their view on these dating issues, leading LGBT advocacy group GLAAD told the BBC that they echo the “leading advocacy, medical, political, and psychological organizations that assert trans women are women.
lmao😭 GLAAD coming in clutch with the generic stock response that doesn’t even have anything to do with the topic.

And that’s the updated less controversial version!

The worrying thing is this is the BBC is literally the definition of mainstream. It shows how vulnerable we are becoming that the BBC can so readily go back to outright homophobia, and organisations which are intended to be spokespeople for us, decline to voice an opinion, even when asked ....

Recite the zombie mantra and all is forgiven!

Straight men don't wanna date men go figure

Call me what you want, if you don't have a penis I don't want to see you naked. I don't have to participate in your version of reality just because of playground peer pressure.

Then I guess ALL those at the BBC not wanting to date people the same sex as them is......?

Yuppers! HOMOPHOBIC!!!

"But I'm not gay!"---"No excuse, you're HOMOPHOBIC!"

TRAs can keep shrieking "transphobe" till the cows come home, but eventually people will call them out on their rape culture of trying to force people to have sex with them.

Ultimately, people will date who they want and not be peer pressured into being romantic or sexual with anyone they're not interested in romantically/sexually.

Bear in mind that television ownership in the UK comes with a legal obligation to pay an annual license fee to the tune of £157 (around $200) in order to fund the BBC, which is supposed to be an 'impartial, high quality' public broadcaster that 'act[s] in the public interest.' So in other words, the tax payer foots the bill for this bald-faced propaganda.

GaySexQuestions · July 10, 2020, 2:23 a.m.

Just for clarity... You don't have to have a license to own a TV in the UK. But if you wish to watch live (broadcast or streamed) TV (on any channel) or wish to access non live. but archive visual content from the BBC, via your TV or other device you have to have a license.

This is what rape culture looks like

AlsmaricXIItext · July 9, 2020, 2:41 p.m.

I really hate the word "cis" why do transgenders the feel the compulsive need to label everything ffs.

Why does a corporation have any right to police who I love/fuck?

Ignore the BBC they’re pedo pushers and protect kiddy fiddlers from the law.
