No one is saying that you MUST have sex with trans people.
Or fat people
Or disabled people
Or dark-skinned black people
Or or or….
When activists say things like “It’s transphobic to say that you aren’t attracted to trans women,” that doesn’t translate to “You absolutely have to find a trans woman right now and bone down!” Instead, what they’re saying is “The only thing that all trans women have in common is that they’re trans women. They all look different, act different, think different, have different bodies and are at different stages of transition. There is no way that you find every single one of them unattractive. To specifically single them out as a group that you dislike is based on stereotypes and bias, not reality.”
It benefits all of us to take the time to examine our internal bias. Recognizing that prejudice and reflecting on it is a good thing. Maybe your sexual or romantic leanings will never change. That’s okay. But let’s not just brush past these things by saying “It’s a preference” when really: these thoughts are based on a culture of discrimination, stereotypes and bigotry. Labeling them as such is a reflection on that culture, not on your love life.

I've been wanting to draw Yvonne and finally did :) She is a minor character, but one of my favorite sub-characters. The description of this 74 year old woman's duties and the brief interaction scenes regarding her work environment are interesting and I wish I could have more conversations with her.
“Alright, clearly you’re unwell, and I’m sure as shit there’s no way you can get home. I can take you to my house, we’ll get you well rested, and we’ll see what we can do from there.”
“Is that okay?”
“uh.”
“k”
