Do people who say they actually find transgender people attractive actually think they are?
If I were to line up 1,000 people and gave them the Liar Liar curse that only allows them to speak the truth, the vast majority of people would drop the "stunning and brave" act and would admit that the attraction level is minimal if not totally non-existent. This might vary on particular from one example to another, but for the most part, transgenderism isn't actually something people gravitate toward.
I'm not just throwing a guess out here, either. There's data to back up the fact that when it comes to dating preferences and attraction, transgender people are very, very low on the list, with less than three percent of straight people saying they'd consider dating a trans person.
If you were to ask someone like transgender activist and TikTok influencer (who seems to really want to talk to your children alone) Jeffrey Marsh, this is all because of social conditioning, especially when it comes to conservative men.
According to Marsh, conservative men find him "gross" because we're heavily conditioned to find aversion to femininity. He claims we even find women gross for this very reason, as evidenced by "period jokes" and "misogyny."

I'm going to ignore his claim that conservatives find women "gross" because conservative men are the ones largely dating, marrying, and mating with biological women, but I'm mostly going to ignore it because it's just a stupid dig at us because he's an angry, bitter person who doesn't like it when we conservative men bring logic into conversations.
But I want to actually agree with him that conservative men do largely find transgender "women" to be gross, especially when they don't pass at all like Marsh.
But where he's wrong is that this is far from mere social conditioning. This is a deep, ingrained aversion based in nature, especially for men. In fact, I would say that transgender "women" violate several pre-programmed responses in the internal psyche that, funny enough, can only be undone with heavy social conditioning.
It's why you see many transgender activists trying to groom children. That is a prime form of social conditioning.
When a man looks at a woman, his male brain automatically assesses the woman for reproduction value. Before you call us pigs, it's not something we can control. The ape part of our brain does this without our permission, like our heart beats without it too. This does not lessen the value a woman has to us personally, just the reproductive aspect.
The eye takes in several factors such as waist-to-hip ratio, facial symmetry and youthfulness, breast size and shape, skin quality, and hair health. Our other senses take in cues as well, like voice pitch and scent. We look for submission cues like wide eyes and head tilting. This is invaluable information to the human brain that processes all of these things in an instant and comes out with a "yes" or "no" in terms of whether the person we're looking at is a suitable mate.
Our brains are so finely attuned to these things that when something is off, it sounds alarm bells... and transgender "women" sound a whole lot of them.
Let's pretend a man and woman wearing the same dress are dancing side by side, doing the same movements. The dance is very feminine, and the onlooking men's brains are gauging every movement as a signal for mating potential, because feminine dances are oftentimes geared toward displaying those qualities, which is part of what makes feminine dancing so attractive to the human eye.
The male eye looks for pelvic rotation, hip sway, grace in movements, breast and rump shape, small chin and nose, etc. The female pulls this off magnificently as the movements she's displaying come naturally to her.
However, the male dancing like the female looks wholly unnatural. The narrower frame at the midsection make the graceful movements that utilize hip movement seem off. The face is too angular and shoulders too broad. The chest is more box-shaped. There's an incongruity with the feminine movements that the brain can't square with the masculine qualities.
This can result in two reactions, depending on the intent. If the man in the dress is dancing that way for comedic effect, he achieves it. It's non-threatening, and he's not inviting someone to behold him as a reproductive choice. He's doing it under the full knowledge that he looks ridiculous and welcomes the laughter. Many a Monty Python or Whitest Kids U Know skit is evidence of that.
However, if he is attempting to pass himself off as a legit woman, he's effectively demanding the male brain consider him a reproductive option, which automatically triggers a full-bore rejection. The man's subconscious starts sounding some very loud and impossible to ignore alarms that tell him this is not a valid mating option and, what's more, might be a danger due to the depth of the subject's delusion. Consciously, the male feels all of that in the form of revulsion.
This is the simple reason most men consider transgender "women" to be repulsive. It triggers all the natural alarms and then some, and it can't be helped. It's not bigotry, it's biology.
To use it in terms the transgender community will understand: we were born this way.
