There are lesbians and bi women who are not penis-repulsed.
And there are some who are penis-repulsed.
“I would never date a trans woman,” is transphobic because it is a blanket statement on all trans women, implying they are men.
“I have penis-repulsion, which limits my sexual compatability with some women,” is a better, less transphobic thing to say cuz it also refers to incompatability w/ cis women who prefer using strap-ons and dildos, while validating womanhood regardless of genitals.
Thank you for this. I had no idea how to ever adress this without sounding like a TERF.
Also: not all trans women have penises! Surgery exists, and can be absolutely excellent for those who choose to have it! Whether or not a trans women has a penis is entirely up to her (albeit with considerations like the availability of doctors, her budget, and her general ability to undergo surgery).
And trans women can be penis-repulsed themselves! I would know, since I’m a penis-repulsed trans lesbian.
