If you are interested in a person you assume to be cis, and they have had bottom surgery so the only real way to tell if they are trans is if they tell you, and finding that out makes you decide against having sex with them, you're a transphobe.
If you are interested in a person who is trans but has not had bottom surgery, and that makes you not want to have sex with them because you are not attracted to penises/vaginas/etc., you are not a transphobic
Agree with the larger point but:
Isn't a white-passing POC (particularly if they have pale eyes/hair) just white?
What defines white, in the essentialist sense? Everything in Europe is a mutt soup of indigenous and Anatolian genes anyway (among other things).
I'm also kind of opposed to calling dark eye/haired people with light skin white, because that's a phenotype which is VERY common in the Middle East (and it's also a trait which literally came from the ancient Middle East, indigenous Europeans were nearly 100% light eyed). It objectively makes more sense to only call blonde/blue people "white", and then call the "darker whites" as "tan"

white is a cultural category that has no relationship to physical characteristics & genetics. it's defined by the ruling class. ancestry, culture, language, and economic class are more important factors than physical appearance.
they put race on birth certificates before anyone knows what the kid will look like. being white-passing doesn't extricate people from the system of racism.
idk if you're trying to challenge racism by criticising the lack of a scientific or consistent framework but it kinda sounds like you're getting closer to recasting race and reinforcing it, just on different bases. which in any case misses the point. race is about power. its absurd and its arbitrary, because its absurd and arbitrary and unjust for one group of people to decide to put another beneath them.
