yeah, it's super weird how desperate people are to rationalize this nonsense.

like... being turned off by someone's race. it's just your phobia/racism. it's not a 'preference' like people like to claim. esp if your 'turned off' feelings are a product or assumption about that person's sexuality/race being a crude stereotype or entrenched in outdated nonsense. neither of those things is a choice either.

it's the idea that they are disgusted/turn off by. it's not a part of sexuality at all, it's that they associate negative traits with a certain sexuality. that's messed up. and it's also not really rejecting the person, it's rejecting the category.
