April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberDon't worry, it's scientifically proven that it's straight!
Weinberg's 2009 study found that most men who date trans women are exclusively straight. The straight men were much less interested in playing with their girlfriend's penis or being penetrated than the bisexual men were. None of the men in the study were gay; all of them, straight, bisexual or pansexual, were men who sexually desire women and are attracted to the female form.
More tellingly, Rosenthal studied the arousal responses of guys who get off to pictures of a woman with a penis. He found out that they liked images of pussy just as much as the straight male controls, they just liked a girl with a nice cock even more. Like the heterosexual controls, they also had only a low arousal response to pictures of male bodies:
Hence why some (but not all) fans of girls with nice cocks also like porn where a male is transformed into a girl (e.g., post #270732).
Unlike bisexual guys, who had a significant arousal response to images of a male body as well as a high arousal response to a female body in many different studies of "Rosenthal's 2011 study of bisexuals": and "Vasey's 2013 study of Samoan men who have sex with fa'afafine."
In both Vasey's 2013 study and Rosenthal's 2011 study, the bisexual men had a higher average arousal response to women than to men, but the arousal response to men was still much higher than what straight male subjects had. The Samoan bisexuals only had sex with women and girly, feminine (and often crossdressing) gay men, not with other manly Samoan men, but that didn't mean they weren't into males. The Samoan men who exclusively liked women had no interest in fa'afafines.
This is why a nonzero (and probably high) percentage of Dracojeff's male-to-female transformation fans (such as Dark_Ryno ) are wholly uninterested in the same Dracojeff drawings of pretty, muscular hunks that make me rock-hard, such as:
post #1108842, post #1274068 and post #1817960.
Conversely, I don't get any extra arousal out of a drawing of a beautiful female just because she has a penis. If it's a macro penis, it's a turn-off.

MemberInteresting studies you have there, which kind of addresses the whole 'liking traps is/isn't gay' debate xD. Sexuality is still pretty weird though. I consider myself bi since I'm into both furry femboys and furry muscle-hunks (and especially muscular crossdressers), but I've only ever been interested in women and some trans women in real life (which according to your articles, closer aligns me with the straights).
