cotton ceiling 

The term cotton ceiling refers to the difficulty trans people experience when seeking lesbian and gay relationships, and in lesbian and gay social spaces more generally. A play on the similar term "glass ceiling", the term was coined by Canadian trans woman and activist Drew DeVeaux.
The cotton ceiling, in short, makes the point that there are certain cis lesbians who are using their sexuality as a way to deny trans women’s womanhood. It’s not about coercing them, it’s not about saying you can’t have sex with only people you want to have sex with, its not about corrective rape or conversion therapy. It’s literally just a name for the concept of using your sexuality as a way of denying trans women’s womanhood; ie “I would never have sex with a trans woman, I’m a lesbian and don’t like men”.

Cotton Ceiling 

A reality that delusional transwomen have to face: not everyone wants to fuck you, and you wanting to be a woman does not win over straight men or lesbians. Get over it for fuck’s sake.

It’s never transphobic to not want to date or sleep with trans people, and you shouldn’t let people tell you otherwise; even if it is, that doesn’t change the fact that no means no.
“Smash the Cotton Ceiling? Denying your womanhood? Zoey, that doesn’t change the fact I don’t like dicks.”
