Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Exactly this. Everyone has their own preferences and judging a person as a good/bad fit solely based on their gender identity and not any sort of subjective compatibility is fundamentally transphobic. It's assessing that trans people are objectively undesirable. Pretty messed up.

Well put.

I don't want to date a dude.

First: don't be a loser. Refer to trans women as women. Or are you a captive to your barbaric past?

Second: you're allowed to have a preference, but projecting your preference onto the world is transphobic. Making a joke that implies all trans people are undesirable to everyone is transphobic and self-centered.

You can be a better person than this. Give it a try. Otherwise you'll be left behind as a relic of a less civilized time

Which is why you state your preference for genitalia in a partner. It’s okay if you don’t want to date a trans individual, but don’t go acting like your preference is the only valid choice.
