Is it cissexist, or anti-trans, to say that you wouldn’t date a woman who has a penis? The answer is more complicated than you might think.
Riley J. Dennis has covered the issue of discriminatory dating preferences before – and she’s gotten all kinds of responses that show that people have a hard time with this issue when it comes to trans folks.
So if you think she’s being homophobic, upholding rape culture, or any of these other common ideas, check out what she has to say about genital preferences now. You might be surprised by what you learn.
With Love,
