>>92 To what extent is it objectification or merely an expression of personal preference? I fail to understand the distinction. Is a gay man "objectifying" men if they have a preference for men? Is a straight woman "objectifying" men by having a preference for men? There are terms used in scientific research to define people with a preference with transgender people. One of the terms is "trans-attracted", another would be "trans-amorous". There is nothing wrong with people having these preferences as long as they do not engage in toxic or insensitive behavior. The preference itself is not inherently a form of objectification. You getting mad at someone expressing their preference is but another form of prejudice, akin to disgust expressed at a gay person simply for being gay.
