the question ‘should lesbians have to date trans women’? is a question that shows the epitome of cis privilege. ppl here are acting like society is forcing cis women to date trans women and acting like society as a whole respects trans women’s gender. questions like this are intentionally meant paint cis women as some helpless victims to trans women and make it seem that trans women have some privilege over cis women. which they don’t. these questions are so transphobic because there will always be a transphobic response/debate. Like these questions are made to make it seem like trans women are out here harming cis women and forcing them into relationships, thus making it seen like they have some privilege. which they don’t….

Yeah, this.

Because the answer to the question they are pretending to ask is the same as the answer to the question “does a person have to date another person” which Is already known by everyone: no.

Of course not, nobody should be forced to date anybody. There’s no possible debate there.

Therefore the only possible Interpretation of the question they are actually asking is “should lesbians consider trans women as valid women”

And hey, what do you know: that’s transphobic.
