If you asked 100 liberals and/or progressives "Hey, if you are a straight, cis man would you be interested in dating a trans woman (especially pre-operation)?" my belief is that the vast majority of them would say no. If you asked them "does that make you transphobic" my belief is that the overwhelming answer would, again, be no.

Enjoyment of sex and attraction to a certain type of genitals is important but also the topic of biological children which many relationships ultimately see as a goal once married etc also plays a big part.

But if you go on twitter and say that, the 1% or 0.1% of the movement that does think this is transphobic will find you.

And this can be said of any ideology, left or right. It's what makes discussing politics so complicated.

To the bold, Personally I don't think people who say "eh, I'm not attracted to trans people" are the ones who are being called bigots as much as the ones who accuse trans people of grooming, pedophilia, etc. Or the ones writing laws to ban them transitioning at all.

I'd file it under "if the shoe fits".  Not everyone who is against the trans lifestyle is necessarily a bigot.  But there are more than a few who are.  If you (universal) are not one of them you're not a bigot no matter who calls you that.

And I 100% agree with you on this:

It's just a shame that people like Matt Walsh on the right and the people you mentioned on the left do not allow for that goal to be reached.
