If you're not attracted to a woman and learn that she's transgendered, and then say 'well that figures,' it doesn't mean you're a homophobe, but it does mean you're an asshole.
Someone please, lock or delete this thread already.

More opinions stated as facts, I see. Hey Warlock, do me a favor and find the post in this thread where I said "I was attracted to Eve, then I found out she was TG and now I'm not," or some variant thereof. Go ahead, I'll wait.
*time passes*
Didn't find it, I see. That's because it's not here. I've agreed that it would matter to some people, and that people taking money in a business transaction should be honest with their customers, but that's about it.
Also, your argument doesn't hold water, because you forgot option C: Someone may find out something in someone's past that they have an issue with--for
whatever reason--and no longer see that person in the same light. If I were attracted to/interested in a woman and found out that years ago she was an addict, or a Scientologist, or a guidance counselor, or whatever, and it was significant enough to change the way I saw her as a person, it might change my being attracted to her. I'd say finding out someone used to be a man is pretty damned significant, wouldn't you? I'll tell you like I told Rachel:
In your opinion, that would be homophobia. You're more than entitled to your opinion. But it's not fact.
Though I do agree this thread is getting out of control and *really* doesn't fit in the Growth forum...
