Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

I'm cis. I'm a cis man with a exclusive sexual interest in cis women. I find the term very helpful to express very clearly who I am and what I want. I can't imagine being so delicate as to lose my shit over being called cis.

exclusive sexual interest in cis women

Hmm. So in other words, you think you can always tell if someone is trans?

If someone says they're not interested in dating Republicans, it doesn't mean they are any better than the average person at picking one out from a crowd.

No, but they didn't say not date, they said not attracted to.

Do you consider yourself attracted to AI, cartoons, and or wax figures? Or do withhold judgment until you find out if they are human?

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago

So in this metaphor trans people are AI, cartoons, and wax figures, and cis people are human?

Or, on a less confrontational tact, do you only experience attraction once you've confirmed that the person is cis? How does that work, do you ask for medical records before giving out your digits?

Attraction can change as you learn more about a person. There's plenty of people on tinder who looked hot in their pictures but their bio then went on to turn me off.

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So you were never attracted to those people?

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There was initial attraction but the additional information killed it.

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So in other words, you are not defending the statement that the commenter was making, about never experiencing attraction?

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

I don't see such a statement in this comment chain. Closest thing is "exclusive sexual interest", which isn't as broad as "experiencing attraction" and also doesn't imply a magical way of filtering out anyone he believes is in that group but isn't.
