I've never heard of that sexuality before but it's a little off putting like you said it seems like that would open to a lot of fetishization :/

stumbled upon a sexuality and like.. im not really sure how to feel about it

"Skoliosexual: attracted to genderqueer and transsexual people and expressions (people who aren?t identified as cisgender)"
now that just weirds me out a bit... like i understand if youre trans and youre looking to date people who share the same experiences with you, but cis people who are skoliosexual is kinda iffy to me? i stumbled upon a guy who was skoliosexual and he was fetishizing the hell out of trans people (would reblog trans peoples selfies and always post unwanted sexual comments) and like...idk how to feel about it tbh. we're not all one gender...

what are your opinion on this? i mean the same could be said to any sexuality but this one feels a bit different you know? theyre not really attracted to our gender but rather the fact that were trans?? if you get what im sayin

Nope, bye.
in reference to trans people; we are Male and female, so its offensive.. we are not a separate category
ive had so many fetish people on tumblr its sick

Plus how can they be immediately attracted to us?
you cant tell a lot of trans people are trans so...


"You can’t tell if a person is trans or cis from straight up. It’s treating us like we aren’t normal people or that our genders aren’t really valid but are more of a sexy quirk."

Yeah, never heard of this before now, but this definitely makes me very uncomfortable. It comes across as clumping all non-normative gender identities together as just one group of "cool and edgy taboo people who shun society's expectations". Cis people who identify as skoliosexual is definitely very, very questionable. This certainly isn't the same as having a preference in your partners(many queer/trans/nonbinary/genderqueer individuals feel safer with a partner who also shares those same experiences). This screams objectification and trans/queer fetishization to me.
 
Makes me feel like a lot of people don't know what sexual attraction actually is. =/

um I don't know about that
I'm pretty sure people know if they're sexually attracted to something or not
everyone has their kinks i guess but i feel like this is more of a preference than an actual, valid sexuality...
since, like it's been said, trans people ARE the gender they identify as, and they should be treated the same way as cis people in terms of attraction

but like, this is a super crazy and far-fetched example, but say there's like some straight girl or something and she is attracted to the male gender in general but she doesn't like penises so she prefers FTM guys. or the other way around, maybe someone doesn't like vaginas because he watched that crazy movie "Teeth" so he has like a phobia or something and therefore goes for MTF girls/women

weird examples but y'know, it's possible that in some people, it's not really a fetishization, but rather an aversion to specific genitalia??

Well you guys are a little close-minded. They like trans people? So what? Its no different than having a preference to a certain race.

yeah lol basically this
but i mean i think it's kinda different from race
maybe just like appearances in general
 
No its not?
I am a t girl i am a GIRL..
therefore if a guy likes me, hes straight.. simple as that
no need to make it more specific than that..

Ive spoke to a few guys who like "t girls" and all they mean is they want a girl with a penis for some sick fetish.. they dont want them to be a "girl" and dont treat them like an actual girl...
They always are so shocked when im like yup im trans but i dont want a penis, that wil be going
ugh it drive me so INSANE

'And therefore goes for mtf women.'. But a lot of mtf women will get a vagina! So they can't have a blanket statement on preferring them due to having a penis!
And it can't be based on 'appearance' as lots of t girls look no different to any natal female

AND if someone is capable of being attracted to people who don't identify as a gender surely they are just pan sexual! Not this term

having a prefernce to a race is bad as well wtf. you cant write off all races as the same and say "well i like asian girls the best bc theyre quiet and hot" because all asian girls are different. or "i dont date black people because theyre all loud and ugly" because all black people look different ??
its the same for trans people?? why are they attracted to the fact that we're trans?? it doesnt change who we are. they are not attracted to our gender, theyre attracted to the fact that we're trans.

and no it cant be about genitals . because trans women and men can get surgery.

i hate whoever came up with this sexuality tbh. and now its becoming more popular more people are going to use it. the only reason someone should use this is that they were trans themselves.

@gizmodo theres a specific sexuality just for nonbinary people tho. pansexual means you like all genders.

tsundere, you put into words everything that i was thinking and couldn't articulate.
also if you think having a preference towards a certain race is okay, you're surely mistaken

not necessarily
they could be not attracted to cis people
that wouldn't make them pan

I'm generally not attracted to asian girls. despite being asian. Deal with it. It's not racism.
 
trans people are allowed to have an aversion to cis people romantically, sexually or even just in general. it's understandable and justified. but i've never even heard of skoliosexuality and the majority of my dash on tumblr concerns sexuality and gender identities? as a trans person i definitely don't think it's okay for cis people to fetishize trans people because it alienates us and reduces us to some 'exotic kink' and that's hecka dehumanizing.

i'm sure not all "skoliosexuals" are the same, and while trans people can and do get surgery, not ALL of them do. that's just one possible explanation that i just threw out there

the only reason someone should use this is that they were trans themselves.
double-standards much?
