unfortunately, the idiots have latched onto this. just like other 4chan “trolls” (spreading bigoted and harmful ideology in a cute package), this has been accepted by a lot of idiots (see also: bigots) as a normal or acceptable thing.

That's the whole point of these little crusades: to spread it into mainstream culture.

The problem is that to me it seems like this stems from a place of hate, specifically towards trans people.
The way they are doing this is clearly incendiary and unhelpful. For people with an actual preference to cis/gay men and women, how would they best label this preference or sexuality?
I don't currently accept a lesbian saying she is not sexually attracted to mtf individuals as being transphobic anymore than I accept me as a happily married cis male saying i am not attracted to men being labeled homophobic.
I don't know enough about the dynamics but it appears as though currently accepted sexual preferences are no longer valid to some people when they include/exclude trans people.
