I specifically was using the word SOME people, because obviously there are a lot of bigots out there. Yes, everyone should always examine and reexamine their beliefs throughout their life

It's very easy to think that there are people who are mainly attracted to some races but not others for non-bigotry reasons. Some people are attracted to fat people but not skinny people. Some people are attracted to short people but not tall people. There's no reason to think that other physical characteristics can't be in that same category of preferences

I specifically didn't limit it to just sexuality. Some people are attracted to brunettes but not blonds, some people are attracted to people who are sarcastic but not people who are earnest, some people are attracted to people who want kids but not people who want to stay childfree - and that's all perfectly fine. And unless you wanna become an incel, you should be ok with any particular person not being attracted to you for almost any reason

But yes to your other point. People should evaluate why they're attracted to some things but turned off by other things. The things you're attracted to can sometimes be a prison that keeps you repeating the same bad patterns, while the things you're not attracted to might simply be due to societal pressures and you would actually like those things if you gave it an honest reexamination

Cis means your inherent body looks like the gender you see yourself as in your head.

If your body looks male and you think of yourself as a man, then you're cis. And the same for female body + woman self image.

For me it does the opposite, it aligns with what i already believe. People are allowed to have attraction preferences. In the same way that it's totally fine to be attracted to people of one gender but not another, it's also totally fine to be attracted to people of one sexuality but not another. We all constantly are getting put in the "not interested" category by random people all day every day due to a zillion reasons, and they're mostly all totally fine. We don't get to choose what we're attracted to.
