The Science is IN - TRAPS AREN'T GAY.

Wait so do pheromones not even matter if we're so simplistic as to be attracted to anyone that merely looks like our desired sex

pheromones do matter, but we use just a handful of basic sensory tests to quickly distinguish males from females in day to day life, and pheromones aren't generally part of that quick assessment

if a biological male successfully passes 9/10 of those basic tests for "female" due to the way they look/dress/behave/sound/etc., then we can overlook the fact that they might not pass the pheromone test

plus pheromones are the sort of thing that are extremely easy to mask or obfuscate using perfume or smth

and there's probably such a wide range of pheromonal profiles that even a biological female might give off a more 'masculine' essence

P. sure it includes pre-op transwomen too because in a one night stand there's potentially the "surprise!" factor.

in terms of physical characteristics there would naturally be significant overlap between passing pre-op transwomen and passing "traps", but i doubt there are too many actual transwomen who willingly embrace the term "trap" lol

Oh I'm just describing how the term would be used derogitorially. Definitely wouldn't expect many trans people to enjoy being described as such. Yeah I guess if someone were to self-identify as a trap they'd prob be a cross dresser or somehow involved in like sex cam stuff

BUMP BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE SOME PEOPLE NEED A REMINDER OF THIS INDISPUTABLE SCIENCE

[C.Mongler]

tec do you identify as a trap now

[Kalahari Inkantation]

the condition of 'trap' is pretty binary: can you 'trap' otherwise """straight""" males or not

if not, you literally can't be a trap lol

I look like a typical nu-male. I'm not fooling anyone.

So Tec DOES identify as a trap now.

I literally am not a trap. I couldn't pull it off even if I wanted to, I'm among the most manly and rugged people I know.

i'm only here to clear up some common scientific misconceptions
