You’re not attracted to fat people?

Excuse me? You’re being fatphobic.

You’re catering to a patriarchal beauty standard of what women’s bodies should look like. You have to unlearn your subconscious bias and realize that all bodies are good bodies. Big is beautiful.

Stop invalidating fat people.

You’re not attracted to trans people?

Well, that’s transphobic.

You’re propagating the stereotypes of heteronormativity. Just because you’re cisgender doesn’t mean that that trans people aren’t valid or worthy. You don’t get to deny their experience.

Stop being a bigot.

You’re not attracted to Asians?

Could you stop being racist?

Just because we aren’t all white doesn’t mean that we aren’t equally valid human beings. What did Asian people ever do to you?

Stop with the Asian hate.

You’re not attracted to women?
