“Having a dating preference” means things like “I’d rather go to a movie than a sporting event,” or “I want to be spoiled at a fancy restaurant.”
“Having a dating preference” does not mean unilaterally discounting an entire group of otherwise compatible people for a characteristic they can’t control.
If you’re white and your “dating preference” means never dating people of color, congrats, you’re racist. Ipso facto, if you’re a cis lesbian and your “dating preference” means never dating trans lesbians, congrats, you’re transphobic.
If you think there’s still a difference between the two examples above, please reexamine why.
