If you're interested in learning more about the transgender community and LGBTQ culture, here are some recommended resources:
One of the most fraught areas within LGBTQ culture is dating. Many cisgender gay men and lesbians express a genital preference or a preference for partners with similar natal sex characteristics. When a trans person is rejected on this basis, it raises thorny questions: Is this a valid sexual preference, or is it transphobia? The community debates this endlessly. While most agree you cannot force attraction, the way rejection is communicated matters. Categorical refusal to date any trans person (“I would never date a trans woman because she’s really a man”) is generally viewed as prejudiced, while honest conversations about anatomy and attraction are seen as mature.
The fight for gender-affirming care is the current civil rights frontier for the community.
