Ah, but at what point does personal opinion and preference outweigh political correctness? 

For example-
The City & County of San Francisco, where I live, has eliminated plastic grocery bags in lieu of their paper counterparts since they are 'greener.'  I recycle, take public transit and attempt to live in a small carbon footprint.  However, I have a cat who poops in a box in my small apartment.  I like to have those plastic bags around in which to scoop his poop every day or so.  I work across the bay in Oakland, where plastic bags aren't verboten.  Will I occasionally grocery shop near my office instead of near my home to get these dual-purpose bags?  I will.

My point is this- I don't want to sleep with someone with a penis.  Period.  I don't care if that person is someone female or male identified.  I don't want one in my bed.  If a woman opted out of a relationship with me because of my lack of dick, so be it.  I'm not interesting attempting to negotiate my way into someone else's bed.

yeah i see your point, but my objection is not political correctness so much as the whole "treat others with as much consideration as you wish to receive" principle (in which I strongly believe). It is my opinion that who people are is much more important than their body parts. I'm not saying you're wrong, just (like i said before) it's interesting to see how people think differently about things.

No no, I totally get it.  i'm chuckling about my grocery bag/genital metaphor over here.  I'm all for whatever- my best friend is, in complete contrast with me, a FTM who cannot get enough of pre-op MTFs.  Luckily, he also lives in San Francisco- no shortage here.  :)

i was amused by it as well.

It is so much more comfortable to accept that there are multiple ways of thinking about these things.
