I heard this before. Where did it came from?2. The vast majority of people in RL, under a definition of sexuality based on attraction, are bisexual. This is because human sexual attraction is based on many factors, and central sexual characteristics, even when visible, are only one such factor. Thus, while a given person's sexual attraction to a large randomly-chosen selection of RL people is likely to correlate with sex (both directly, and because sex has a correlation with many other factors that alter attraction), it is highly unlikely that they will spot all members of one sex more attractive than any members of the other, or identify all members of either sex unattractive.
Please stop saying &#;traps are gay&#;

If you’ve spent any second in the degenerate cesspools of 4Chan and Reddit, you’ve likely heard the phrase “traps are gay” thrown around casually. Those who use it typically have a poor sympathy of its far-reaching implications, or even what it means. While the expression may seem like a harmless joke, it is in fact a reflection and perpetuation of long-standing societal prejudices against transsexual women. The phrase is not a form of direct discrimination, but its mere existence and exploit is deceptively problematic.
The disparaging term “trap” offensively refers to transgender people as “crossdressers” guilty of deceiving those around them by presenting themselves as a different gender. As it is usually directed at trans women, it implies that it is deceptive to express a gender identity that doesn’t conform to the cisgender status quo, and that transgender women are predatory. Since it is used as a blanket term for male to female transitioners, the term denies the legitimacy of transitions, generally stating that trans w
Understanding Trans
Here, in chapter of Autoheterosexual: Attracted to Creature the Other Sex, I answer a very crucial question.
On the internet, one question animates discussion more than almost any other:
“Are Traps Gay?”
This irreverent, nonsensical question is one of the most entertaining ways to have conversations about sex, gender, sexuality, and the connections among them. The answers to it are usually as silly as the question itself.
Trap is a slang word for a feminized male with an intact penis. It can refer to MTF transvestites, “pre-op” transsexual women, and those in between. The term implies a level of passing that would make their birth sex come as a surprise.
Some trans people identify as traps. Others aspire to the level of passing that “trap” implies. But the mainstream view among trans people is that “trap” is a pejorative term.
People usually interpret the question “Are traps gay?” in one of three ways:
Are feminized males sexually attracted to men?
If a male is inadvertently attracted to a feminized male, is that attraction homosexual in nature?
Traps are NOT gay!
ABOUT Traps are NOT gay!!The appeal of traps is the truth that they are so feminine, without actually being female. The feeling of the Bait-N-Switch it presents is a good one, the idea that a male is cuter than any lady is both extremely erotic and very, very adorable. It's not the fact that they're male and feminine, it's the proof that they aren't what they seem. It's the same reason many people like tomboys.
A slightly deeper meaning is that traps serve as this ideal that you aren't bound by gender roles or what people might think one should act enjoy. Traps show that people can come in any attitude or personality and still give people a raging erection and let go panties.
The main point is that people who like traps, as far as I can narrate, aren't attracted to the truth they are male, but the fact they are a literal trap. Because it's not the "maleness" that attracts them, it isn't gay. I think the best example of this "genderless" attribute would be the iconic Hideyoshi, who is even referred to in-universe as some m
