So last weekend I was at a predominantly queer party; met some people, didn't click with anyone, and after I'd left it occurred to me that this was probably because they were all so damned young. Like, mostly 19 to 21. And I never notice it right away, because they look like adults at that age, but then when I talk to them it's like, "Wow. Your

Is saying "I'm not into trans people" different from saying, "I'm straight, so I'm not into women". (Uh, front the point of view of a girl).
It's a genuine question; I don't know the answer.

You're talking about sexual orientation, and orientation applies to you. You're straight, so you're not into women. I'm gay, so I'm not into women either. Straight guys aren't into dudes, and accordingly, they aren't into me.
Meanwhile, a person's transsexuality is about them, not about you. From an outsider perspective, think of trans as an adjective, one that can occur in combination with literally any other adjective you can apply to a person. Trans men (to use them for an example, since you said you're straight) can be androgynous and feminine or macho like mf'ing linebackers, waif-like hipsters or musclebound bodybuilders, or anything in between.

The only thing that all trans dudes have in common is the "wrong" junk (and then sometimes not even that, when we're post-op). So in my opinion, the only legit reason for ruling out trans dudes is if you're ALL ABOUT dick and absolutely can't stand the thought of touching/seeing a vagina. If that describes you, then by all means, go ahead and tell the world up front so nobody wastes their time on you ( ... )
