'I Would Never Date a Trans Person!' Then Don't.

But it took me a while to decide, mostly because of its amusement factor. The comment was on an older post and was from a self-described "bi female" who basically said that she would never date a trans person because trans people are not "real" men and women.
Now this is definitely not the first time I've heard this sentiment. Nothing original here. But part of my amusement is because I know quite a few gay, lesbian, and straight people who don't consider bisexuality to be a "real" sexual orientation, and I also know a good number of gay, lesbian, and straight people who would never date a bisexual person. However, I do consider bisexuality a "real" sexual orientation, so I will let that one go.
