It needs to be said again: It is not bigotry, it is not hatred, it is not fear, it's okay, valid, normal, common, reasonable, justifiable and authentic to be born homo sexual.
I am a lesbian, a female homo-sexual. When I say female, I mean the colloquial definition, referring to my biological sex, not my identity. I exclude all males, regardless of how they identify, from my dating pool, because I am not oriented to any of them.
Orientation is not the same as attraction, orientation is the potential for sexual availability.
My sexual orientation is not a genital preference. Preference is defined as a greater liking for one alternative over another. I am not just oriented towards women more so than towards men, I am only exclusively oriented towards women, and I am in no way oriented towards any man
Genitals is just one set of organs, out of many, a human has. The genital removal and implantation of an organic prothesis to resemble the genitalia of the opposite sex, does not change my orientation.
I don't have a gender orientation because I can't read minds, and thus, can't observe or perceive the gender identity of another person, it is not possible for me to be either same or opposite gender oriented.
A picture printed on paper of a hamburger may give me carvings, but not for the paper itself, I would not eat paper that has a hamburger printed on top on it, I would eat the real thing, the edible hamburger.
Same with a person who may mask their sex for cosplay, fashion, fun, roleplaying, etc. could present a visual mirage that could confuse my senses, but nothing else.
"If you were attracted to someone, and then became sexually unavailable when you found out he was male, you're a transphobe."
Yeah. And when you take a piece of fruit from a fruit bowl, take a bite, and find out it's plastic and then stop eating, you are plastic phobic.

I've been attracted to adult people of all races, fashion styles, music tastes, heights, weights, personalities, religion, etc, the only thing they've got in common is that they're adult human females, so, in my case, sex is the common denominator.
I will not be shamed to not scream to the world that I am sexually oriented ONLY and EXCLUSIVELY to people of my same sex, I am NOT oriented to any men, regardless of how they identify.
The fact that the only trait that is shared by everyone I've found attractive is that they're adult human females, does not mean I find every single female in the world attractive.
I don't know about other people, but in my case, my sexual orientation is not based, nor can it be changed by superficial deception.
I can't speak for others, only myself, in my case, my sexual orientation is not based, nor can it be changed by other's fashion choices.
Simply not being sexually available to a demographic is not having any kind of phobia or prejudice against said demographic.
Having a sex based sexual orientation like homosexuality, is not trans exclusionary. I'm sure I can find examples of people who identify as trans, who are of the sex I am oriented towards, that I personally find attractive.
Using the term 'genital preference' implies that sexualities are solely based on that part of physical anatomy, instead of a complete person.
It is not transphobic to not be romantically or sexually attracted to trans people. Sexualities and orientations are not wrong or discriminatory.
