Fine. I should have just said you are a trans exclusionist feminist, and dropped the radical part. Mind attacking what I actually said, instead of some straw man you're constructing? I am a feminist, I believe in equality for ALL women, cis and trans.

Really, you want to bring cotton ceiling thinking to the table now?.
I had to google cotton ceiling. Honestly, not sure how I feel about it - there are real, physical differences between having sex with a cis person and a trans person, and if your reasons for not wanting to sleep with a trans person are entirely related to those reasons, then I don't think I have a problem. However, if you wouldn't apply those same standards to a cis person, such as refusing to date a woman with breast implants and a medically damaged vagina, then I would say you are making your decisions based on your own negative beliefs about trans woman.
This however does not apply to bisexual people. A bisexual woman in a monogamous relationship with another woman is externally indistinguishable from a lesbian woman in the same relationship. Your entire issue with dating them stems from who they were born as, something completely outside of their control. Hell, if we believe Kinsey, you have probably slept with bisexual woman already, who have chosen to 'pick a side' purely because of regressive, harmful attitudes such as yours.
Or does it purely stem from them self identifying as bisexual? Would you be fine sleeping with a bisexual woman who tells you she is a lesbian?

If you want to have a break from this bull****, you can go anywhere else on 2p2. This is specifically the GLBTQ thread, and we are supportive of our trans allies, without whom Stonewall and the modern queer rights movement may never have happened.
No, I'm just saying you are bigoted against trans and bisexual people - do you deny this? As much as I hate the whole quote a dictionary thing...

You admit that you are intolerant of trans women; you don't want them in women only spaces. Do you not think that trans women face the same misogyny that cis women face?
Finally, I was going to denounce the SJW tag (ironic that you use that right after getting upset at me for using TERF) since I don't have a tumblr, I've never identified that way, and it always gets used in a negative context. But you know what? I am a social justice warrior. I fight for social justice. If someone says something racist, misogynistic, homophobic, or transphobic around me, I say something. I want the spaces around me to be safe spaces for everyone, and I want everyone to be able to realize their potential free from the biases of the majority. You throw that term at me as an insult, but I'll put it on and wear it proudly, because isn't social justice what we all should be fighting for?
