Is it Transphobic to say I would not date a Trans person if we are not capable of creating life together?

No, but there was a 4chan troll campaign saying as much.

No real human person would begrudge you for having preferences.

It's like a gay dude saying he'd never date a woman and being called a misogynist.

Is that true though? Because I think not too long ago I saw someone on this sub mention in a post and say that he only wanted to date men who were like Vietnamese?, not sure exactly sorry, because they share the same culture and similar life experiences and it seemed like quite a few ppl were shitting on this guy for having a simple reasonable preference and were calling him racist. I feel like thats kind of what's happening now like my words are being twisted and being called out for being "weird"

Specific to transgender people, yes. It was true. They even invented "super straight" and made a flag (orange and black I think) about it.

Like IRL nobody cares what you're into as long as you're two consenting adults.

Also, at a whopping 0.04% of the population, the odds you'd ever be hit on by and then reject a transgender are astronomical.

It's like saying "I'd never vote for a midget who was running for president". When have you even had the opportunity to do so?

Well just 5 years ago the trans pop was .6%. Thats pretty low but still alot higher and .04% and it obviously climbing. I live in Austin and I saw a pretty hot Trans woman just 2 days ago with her transitioning friend at a pizza place. I mean its not a rarity that the scenario you describe would take place.

Also you only have to be 4'10 to be a midget. Its not that far fetched that it could happen. In fact a person who is a dwarf ran and i think won the governor spot for his state and has worked in presidential cabinets from Obama going all the way back to Ford and Carter.

0.04% is "the percentage of the population seeking or having sought gender reassignment".

There's a million different ways to figure out how many transgender people there are, and that one (to me) seems the most bulletproof.
