Kind of glad this is being brought into the public eye a bit more as its beren all 'underground'/behind closed doors so far. The more people know about these extreme opinions, the better tbh

This is how I feel, especially what you said in the end, because it's true. It should come out in the open. I think a lot of the reasons now we are seeing conversations like these on TV is because people on both sides of the issue have gotten over their personal self-consciousness and not letting their speech be dictated by those around them.

Yes, this has put politics more into the mainstream and has made certain elements that are more divisive bubble to the surface, but we're also now seeing a silent majority/middle-ground that does speak for itself now on both sides of the issues.


Anyway, would it be considered amoral if someone who boasted watching transporn chronically declared they would never date a transperson... but without having explicitly stated something clearly bigoted, can we assume their hearts and say they are bigoted without more evidence? After all, you can have sex or do certain acts for lust, but that doesn't necessarily lead to passionate love...

If I'm honest, I think this area is where gender/sexual labels cause more confusion than help us to understand our individual motivators, because sexual trysts are a different beast than marriage I think. I feel like this is where humans can't be put into boxes, because if we're honest, relationships are a bit of a social construct and instincts/urges don't necessarily play nicely with our man-made sense of order (i.e. society).. it feels like it's applying social constructs to something that normally is about being liberated from our personal boxes (i.e. porn, fantasy play, one-night stands, etc).. no one cares if they're violating social norms when they watch porn or choose a sexual partner, actually, that's the thrill sometimes isn't it?
