gender is socially constructed. saying that you prefer "natural born women" is exactly like saying you prefer people who weren't "born a criminal"

    1. asking trans people to mind cis feelings in calling out their bullshit (I'm especially annoyed at the suggestion that basic empathy is too much to ask for because cis people don't share our experiences). this is cisnormative.
    2. the belief at the root of your original post saying that not being attracted to trans people is natural. this is also cisnormative.

      Well, I'm kind of seeing you two bully this entire thread, even other trans people. There's a lot "if x then y" accusations you're making which is unfair. As you read the thread, clearly "y" is not what the person often if ever meant. It gives no faith to the person you're talking to, which in turn makes them obviously defensive. Which you pre-emptively attack them for.

      When you talk to any human being, it's not acceptable to do these kinds of things. This isn't just a cis-fragility thing, this one is on you too.

      1. I didn't say that. You filled in the blanks with the worst possible version that you're currently were already upset about, in a very vague statement which I have since clarified.
