If you thought you were a true ally, maybe it's time for some introspection.

    All the fucking downbears jesus fuck. This tweet isn't about genital preference and it isn't even exclusively about physical attraction. This is about people who don't want to date trans women period. Trans women do not necessarily have penises, and you do not necessarily have to have sex with someone to date them. I feel like the tweet is way broader than people are making it out to be. I would assume that it is calling out people who do not want to date trans women unconditionally, or on principle, regardless of physical appearance or genitals. Those people are full stop bad and if you argue against that, then yes, you are a transphobe. I'm way too stupid to have an intelligent conversation about genital preference but this tweet seems way more black and white than people are acting like it is in the comments. Seems like people are taking the content of the tweet and imagining implications that don't really exist, and then accusing the tweet of being reductive because it does not address the implications that they created in their head.
