@thodbjorn ok I've watched the video and the apology video.

The first video did make me angry and upset and I completely see exactly why you say what you did because that is exactly how it came across.

However the apology does seem very sincere; The first video's thoughts come from a lack of understanding and she addresses that in the apology.

Everyone makes mistakes; I've made plenty in the past especially when it came to gender and sexuality... It's seems Arielle has answered for those mistakes and is trying her best to understand and make amends.

However, this doesn't stop her having a sexual/genital preference.

Would you say a gay man who won't date/sleep with a FtM trans* person who is pre-surgery is transphobic? No, they just don't like vagina. This issue exactly the same.

Like I also said before; I don't know if Arielle would date/sleep with a MtF trans* person who is post-surgery.... The same way I don't know if the hypothetical gay man would sleep with a FtM trans* guy who is post-surgery.

Preference is a very specific and personal thing; calling it out as a blanket transphobic statement is unfair.
