This is cute as fuck and describes pretty accurately how I feel too.

This comic is included Anything that Loves edited by Zan Christensen.  

aside from this comic being really cute and honest, it also points out this really huge glaring problem in the gay community in relation to trans-men.

in my experience with a lot of gay men, they have this extremely purist view when it comes to what being a “real man” is, which is bad enough when you have different gay subcultures (bears, gymrats, etc) who have different specific definitions of what a “real man” is.

however for the most part, many gay men seem to agree upon a point of leaving trans-men not only out of their gender, but out of their sexuality as well and I have a real fucking problem with that.

i’m pretty open about things that relate to my sexuality, and i myself identify more or less as a homosexual, but i’ve found the worst part in the gay community is dealing with this bullshit. eventually i found that i at least have the luxury of telling guys to fuck off if i don’t meet their standards, but i know that’s a lot harder for folk when they seem to have the entire population of homosexuals more or less invalidating not only their gender, but their orientation as well.

with all of that said, i just ask this. if you happen to be a cisgender homosexual, like myself, don’t tell other gay men that they aren’t actually gay if they’re dating or have had relations with a trans-man because that’s a load of fucking bullshit.

more important, under any circumstance do not tell a trans-man they’re not a man or that they aren’t allowed to like other men who are homosexual, be they cis or trans.

that’s all i really wanted to say.

This entire response is gold.

Also, this same thing applies to trans women and their lesbian partners as well.

A cis lesbian with a trans partner is still lesbian, same as a cis gay with one is.

Neither of them are straight regardless of what they do with their partner’s junk.

THIS COMIC IS BEAUTIFUL AND BRILLIANT AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH

There are lesbians and bi women who are not penis-repulsed.

And there are some who are penis-repulsed, with or *without* trauma.

“I would never date a trans woman,” is transphobic because it is a blanket statement on all trans women, implying they are men.

“I have penis-repulsion, which limits my sexual compatability with some women,” is a better, less transphobic thing to say cuz it also can refer to incompatability w/ cis women who prefer using strap-ons and dildos, while validating womanhood regardless of genitals.

bisexuals can’t speak for lesbians. no lesbian prefers dildos to human contact, porn lied to you.

i am a homosexual so as a female my sexuality is male incompatible, which includes trans women. i will never date a trans woman bc i am a lesbian. i have no thoughts on dicks bc i am a lesbian and my partners won’t have male genitals.

“there are lesbian who are not penis-repulsed” is a lie making us doubt our orientation to give males sexual satisfaction and gender validation. don’t fall for it. do you know what heteronormativity is? it’s this. social pressure to give peen a chance. you don’t know you hate it if you don’t try it. but when you pressure lesbians into sex with males it’s different, it’s corrective rape.

drop the t drop the t drop the t

also lots of us have never had anything to do with a “hard cock” so how would we “miss” it?

This got really bad really fast. First of all, not all lesbians are repulsed by penises. Just because you are doesn’t mean everyone is. I know tons of lesbians that aren’t attracted to males but are not horribly disgusted by penis. There are lesbians who aren’t penis repulsed the same way there are gay men who aren’t vagina repulsed. Lack of attraction does not mean repulsed by. Your statement also excludes lesbians who are trans women, because they’re more likely to be attracted to transwomen with various genitalia. Also not all trans women have a penis so you’re doing that exact blanket statement by saying youd never be attracted to transwomen because you think all lesbians are penis repulsed. If that’s how you feel then fine but don’t act like you can tell people what other lesbians are attracted to and exclude trans women from lesbianism and conversations about gay women sexuality. Saying all lesbians are automatically penis repulsed is kinda immature tbh.
