Sure there might be some people using it to be transphobic but in theory it’s fine in my eyes, people can be attracted to whatever, same going for what they aren’t attracted to. Sure, it’s not like i think it’s vitally important that a term like this exists, but I don’t see why not and it certainly isn’t transphobic to not be attracted to trans people.
Nice to see a different side, I also think its not a major deal in the sense people get so angry over it. I also don't think its important for the term to exist but it does shorten a whole essays worth of explaining into a label which means "my preference is towards cis gendered people". I don't see how/why that has been twisted into hatred towards trans people. In fact I think it is a good term, it means people are accepting a person as trans (like male to female) and regarding them as female but not wanting to date them. If that makes them transphobic well fuck, if you are dating a person of the same race you are also racist blar blar blar. Just causes more divide and UNNEEDED hatred
