    But see, thatā€™s one of the things the Kinsey scale doesnā€™t really address. Is it really all that gay to be attracted to (as a man) someone that is presenting in a feminine way regardless of genitalia? I wouldnā€™t say it is. I know femboys and trans women are obviously different, but with regards to this question, you pretty quickly get into transphobic territory if you go around implying that itā€™s gay to like trans women or anyone else presenting feminine just because of genitalia. Or is the argument that since femboys identify as boys, that itā€™s automatically gay to have sex with them by definition?

      Is it straight to be attracted to people who arenā€™t cisgender? No.

      Is it qualitively a bad thing to be attracted to people who arenā€™t cisgender? No.

      My POV is simple, straight is a very specific thing, because the things outside of it fit into LGBT+ things.

      Despite centuries of propaganda, itā€™s not ā€œOh no, a terrible thingā€, itā€™s ā€œthe box you fit in isnā€™t the box you think it is.ā€

      Is it really all that gay to be attracted to (as a man) someone that is presenting in a feminine way regardless of genitalia?

      Come on now buddy. ā€œIā€™m straight, he looked like a bitchā€ and other prison cope logic doesnā€™t add up.

      They had to come up with a ā€œgay liteā€ term to get proper results from people during the AIDs outbreaks because people would claim to be straight while having sex with other men.
