    If being a man and being attracted to a good looking woman makes me gay, then I don’t understand the logic, but apparently I am gay?

    I’ve always thought that women who look like they can kick ass are hot AF.

    My awakening to that was Alias. I never actually watched the show itself, but I saw a clip from one particular episode that really got me going. At least I’m pretty sure it was Alias. But if you watched it, I’m pretty sure you know exactly the clip I’m talking about.

    Now I’m not really into actually having my ass kicked, but just the look of capability. Oooo weeee.

      I like women who look like they can take care of themselves, I find the damsel in distress stereotype annoying.

      Same. Did these people not play Street Fighter growing up? If Cammy waking the mighty tiger behind my fly is gay then I’ll see you at Pride.

    I don’t care if it’s gay or straight, it’s not attractive to me personally, so I just avoid it and move on. 🤷

      The right attitude! I’ll never understand why anyone is bothered by a complete strangers appearance.

      Pretty weird of you to not pass unsolicited judgement on the physical attractiveness of strangers. Do you ever worry that this sort of antisocial behaviour will see you ostracised from society?

        It’s a post open for comment. In what world is that unsolicited?

            i honestly think sarcasm is dead (and should die) in this international world we are in because it isn’t something that all cultures participate in and leads to exactly this sort of misunderstanding over and over.

            I used to think (as someone who was quite sarcastic online) that if you needed the /s tag it just meant you weren’t very good at it, but when you are communicating with people who don’t have a background of experience with it you just look like an asshole!

    I have a strong feeling that the people that say that it is gay to feel attracted by a woman with “male” attributes will also say that it is gay to be attracted by a trans woman. Cognitive dissonance all around.

      Yup. Definitely no cognitive dissonance about how a skinny/emotional man is unattractive to them, but the hyper-masculine beefcake is the male worthy of praise and attraction. Nothing gay about that.

      I would say it is gay to be attracted to a trans woman. Is this really a spicy take? And for context I do not think it’s gay to be into a muscular woman…

        Trans women are women. A man being attracted to a woman is…not gay. They only thing that’s gay is being attracted to men.

        Not muscular women, not short-haired women, not trans women. Men. M.E.N.

        I might be able to help clear this up for you. Whether or not the take is spicy depends on how transphobic or ignorant the parties involved are, so I’ll start by addressing the facts.

        • If you are a woman, then it is gay to be attracted to a trans woman.

        • If you are a man, then it is not gay to be attracted to a trans woman.

        • Regardless of whether you or anyone else is a man, woman, gay, or otherwise, and of whatever physical bits are involved, you are not obligated to be attracted to anyone in particular.

        • If you are a straight man, and you do not visually perceive the trans woman as appearing consistent with your idea of what a woman should look like, then you are unlikely to be attracted to her.

        • If you are a straight man who is attracted to a trans woman and feel uncomfortable with or threatened by it, then you are transphobic. This doesn’t necessarily mean you hate trans people, it can just mean that you fear being associated with them or having to think about them.

        On spiciness:

        • If you are addressing people who are ignorant of all this, they will not know enough to consider your take spicy.
        • Your statement is too vague to determine whether your intent is transphobic or not. If the context of your take is that you do not consider trans women to be women, then your take will be spicy to people who are not transphobic, but it will not be spicy to people who are transphobic (or ignorant, as mentioned previously).

          If you are a man, then it is not gay to be attracted to a trans woman.

          Well, sucking a trans woman’s cock is not straight, either. I just slap a “queer” label on everything and call it done.

          And who fucking cares if it IS gay. (ie if it feels gay to someone.) That’s perfectly okay, too! We don’t get to tell people how to be sexually attracted to their partner.

        I don’t know about it being spicy, but I disagree. People are not their genitals.

        To clarify further, do you think being attracted to trans men (assuming you’re a guy) is gay?

        The mental exercise here seems to either go one of two ways for me. Either you just consider gender, or you have a relationship orientation that’s separate from physical orientation.

        I honestly don’t know where I fall on this particular topic. I’ve known very few trans people at all (at least in person- obviously I’ve seen tons of them in different movies and shows and YouTube channels), so I haven’t really had a chance to figure out how I feel about them for the sake of relationships.

        I think either would understand me in different ways (since they either are or were treated as guys).

        But if I had to guess, I think I would still prefer trans women to trans men as far as being in a relationship with one.

        The one thing I do know is that if I ever did fuck a dude, it would be a trans dude.

        But really I’m more concerned with how I feel about the person than I am about their junk. There so much more to a relationship than how fucking works and I’d much rather just be totally in love with the person vs in love with their crotch.

    I literally am incapable of forming opinions about something without consulting manosphere chuds opinion about whether or not it is gay. is that gay?
