“I don’t want to sleep with you.”
is often
“I don’t want you to exist.”

[-] Repelle@lemmy.world 48 points 3 months ago

Sometimes it’s “I want to sleep with you, but I don’t want to want to sleep with you.”

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 37 points 3 months ago

Or "I want to sleep with you but I'd rather you die than have anyone find out."

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

But not always. I'm absolutely behind the point you're making about some people, but if someone wants you dead, it's usually not subtle.

I've met people who use this logic to turn absolutely vicious towards people who have otherwise shown nothing but kindness.

Smoking is an instant nope for me, and for that I've had some girls react like I think smoking makes a person abhorrent and undeserving of love.

(No, I'm not saying trans people can "quit" being trans the way smokers can quit smoking. Just saying that even if a piece of logic is valid, it should be applied with care.)

But smokers are abhorrent and nobody deserves love

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 16 points 3 months ago

Smokers are victims of marketing.

Everybody needs love, if only from themselves.

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Yeah, absolutely, very much so, but I don't want to kiss or sleep with smokers, and that's OK.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 months ago

Agreed, I was the guy making that point in the first place.

Everyone deserves love. Nobody is entitled to love.

The point of the meme isn't about whether you personally would want to sleep with someone who is trans, and whether that makes you a good person or not, its about how the first, second, and last thing a lot of people think about wrt trans people is whether they are fuckable or not. Its not good to objectify people, if you do it is transphobic/sexist/racist/whatever dehumanizing. But if you see trans people as people, and respect their gender, their right to express themselves openly even if you aren't sexually attracted to them, then this meme will never be a problem for you. And if you feel personally attacked by this meme, try and figure out why, because it's probably not about you. Don't be a creep isn't that complicated, folks

This post is massive chaser erasure.

We need more chaser erasure.

[-] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago
[-] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 14 points 3 months ago

Chaser: someone who fetishizes trans or other non hetero-normative people and pursues them as sexual objects.

Erasure refers to the deliberate or unintentional removal, omission, or invalidation of LGBTQIA+(though it can apply to any marginalized group really) identities, histories, and contributions from cultural, social, and institutional recognition.

Op is joking this post is ‘chaser erasure’ because it does not depict someone exhibiting that behavior and instead shows someone claiming they do not want to sleep with trans people.

I like women, I sleep with cis women. I do not want to sleep with trans women. By my personal assessment I'm somewhat transphobic and need to work on that.

Checkmate, lemmy.

[-] humbletightband@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 3 months ago

Everybody has their preferences and we often make fun of it.

  • She wants a wealthy partner, she's a golddigger
  • he wants a gf with big tits - mommy issues
  • he doesn't want a gf with a penis, he's a big piece of transphobic shit

See, it's just the way we communicate

Maybe you are, but do you feel oppressed?

We've all got biases, invisible or no that we're working on, like you said. Better to know them though

NGL im super into tomboys and genderfluid people. But the idea of having sex with someone who has a penis is off-putting to me. Idk

[-] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 23 points 3 months ago

That just means you have a sexual preference lol

Weird how they feel the need to announce it instead of just having it. Almost like announcing it serves a social function, and it is obvious if you frame the same phenomenon through another bias:

"I only sleep with blond haired blue eyed white women"

Also fuck you have no idea how often I hear something about how trans women are unfuckable after turning a guy down.

[-] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Exactly - if you don't want to date a trans person don't. If someone conceals it, that's not an issue with them being trans, that's an issue with them being dishonest. It's ok to dislike dishonest people.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

I've always contended that you shouldn't care about what turns someone on unless you wanna fuck em.

[-] lseif@sopuli.xyz 13 points 3 months ago

excluding liking kids or animals. and relatives or nonconsenting people if relevant

[-] lmaydev@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

What goes on between two or more non related consenting adults is no ones business but their own.

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 8 points 3 months ago

I just genuinely don't care what people do in their bedroom.

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 10 points 3 months ago

Cut to me assembling a dirty bomb on my quilt

The kitchen is an abomination free zone.

You don't use Le Creuset? Swipe left!

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

All that is about consent. Except the relatives thing. Which is gross but not necessarily my business
