No, You're Not A
Bigot If You Don't Want To Have Sex With Everyone
By: Ben Shapiro
You.
Yes, you.
You're a bigot.
Are you a straight man who only wants to have sex with
women? Are you a gay man who only wants to have sex with men? Are you a
bisexual man who wants to have sex with people of both sexes but only if they
are good-looking? Are you asexual?
You're a bigot.
According to Samantha Allen of The Daily Beast, it is deeply
"disappointing but unsurprising" that under 20 percent of Americans
in a recent survey said they would be open to having sex with a transgender
person. That's because, she says, "Cultural acceptance has tended to lag
behind formal recognition."
It turns out that according to the left, all sexual
behavior is malleable and based largely on social structures that have been
implemented by the patriarchy. Men and women don't exist but for their
self-perception -- we know that a man can be a woman and a woman can be a man,
regardless of biology. That's why Caitlyn Jenner isn't just a man with a mental
disorder and some plastic surgery and hormone injections; Caitlyn Jenner is as
much of a woman as Michelle Obama. The left reasons that if a man
can be a woman, then a man who only wants to have sex with biological women
must be a bigot -- his desires have been wrongly defined by a society that
restricted the definition of womanhood to, you know, women. If only men had
been exposed to the deeper truth of gender earlier. If only they'd known that
some women have male genitalia. Then, perhaps they'd be willing to have sex
with biological men who are actually women.
The same holds true with regard to homosexuals, of
course. If a woman is a lesbian, it's discriminatory of her to not want to have
sex with a man who identifies as a woman. Her desires have also been shaped by
her environment. And her environment has drawn a stark but wrong -- oh, ever so
wrong! -- line between biological men and biological women.
If all of this sounds insane, that's because it is.
Straight men are attracted to women, not men who identify as women. Straight
women are attracted to biological men. As a general rule, homosexuals are
attracted to members of the same biological sex. Attempting to pretend away
reality doesn't change that reality.
But the left is plagued by two myths that lie in direct
opposition to one another. The first: All human behavior can be changed by
changing society at large. The second: All human sexual behavior is innate and
unchanging. Under the first myth, if we just train people that men and women are
the same and that even their genitals don't provide a meaningful difference,
men will begin having sex with transgender women, and women will begin having
sex with transgender men. Under the second myth, however, transgender identity
itself is immutable and unchanging, as is homosexuality and heterosexuality.
This provides an unanswerable conundrum for transgender advocates: How can they
get people to accept transgender people sexually when people's sexuality is
supposedly unchanging?
So the left merely ignores the problem and papers it over
with the word "bigot."
Reality isn't bigotry. People are attracted to those they
are attracted to. There is a biological component to that as well as a cultural
component. But ignoring biology in favor of culture is idiotic, and ignoring
culture in favor of biology is ignorant. They both play a part. The suggestion
that discriminatory nastiness is at the root of the perfectly logical
biological desire for people to have sex with members of the opposite
biological sex is merely a slur, a crutch to cover up the illogic of the far
left when it comes to gender and sex.
