What about transsexual lesbians who hook up with other transsexual women... I mean is liking men that much of a stretch?

What about me?  ;D

I don't know if liking mtfs is a shift caused by hrt, like what others are describing, but I didn't know I had the attraction until I met one in person.

I don't have any feeling toward cis men though. I'd be open to that feeling if it happened, but it's not an attraction I've felt yet.

No, but that other mtf has the experiences of a male and thus the relationship is "gay"(as in homosexual) on some level... Not like a cisfemale. If and when I do go "lez" I hook up with cisfemales... Why would I want a variation of what I previously had as a gay male?

I have always liked women. But since I have come out I seem to be becoming more and more attrated to men? Will I stop liking women? Why the change. I have never found men attractive till now! ???

Several other transwomen and I went through the same thing. While we can be in denial of our gender identity, we can also be in denial about our sexuality. Onc you accepted that you were a woman, you grew to accept that you were a straight woman.
Even in death, may I be triumphant.

Because for me it's a wonderful feeling to be close to someone who understands my biggest issue so perfectly?

Aside from that one thing, I don't see any difference between dating mtfs and cis girls. It all comes down to personality and compatibility. Why would I care how the person was born? I care about the now, and about the future.

Plus, just because someone technically is a "MTF", that do not mean that the person necessarily have any experience of a male life, other then having been assigned as Male at birth.
Many MTF's transitions very young, and especially nowadays, when some even transitions at age 6 or 7, such as"Jazz", an MTF that are now 11 and have lived as a girl since four or five years.
She have never been a male, regardless of the set of genitals she were born with, so the only way a relationship later on with her would be homosexual, would be if she ended up with a girl.

As for why some people specifically prefers MTF's, it could be anything. Some do it because of the genitals excludignly, or, so called "->-bleeped-<-s", while others got the hots for MTF's because they, as they often describes it, are "more female than bio-females". In short, because they are attracted to femininity and thinks that MTF's(Whether pre or post-op, as this type do not care about the genital set) have an extra amount of that.
While yet others are attracted to the concept; That the T-person had such a strong self-awareness, identity and guts that they took the step to modify the body to match those.

Only the specific person that is attracted to T-persons knows why, as every such one have their own reason.

I am adding the following interview with 'Jazz'. :)

Plan 1: If you are still presenting as a male, just go to a gay bar and get drunk then go home with a man. :)

plan 2: If you are presenting as a female, just go to a straight bar and get drunk then go home with a man. :)

Oh come on, it is transparent that you are afraid of taking the leap and looking to us for encouragement, heh, not because you are worrying about the aftermath. lol
yes i am presenting female part time right now, but didnt i just say, I didn't want to be that kind of girl! plan two is asking to get beat up or worse by the way!

Yes I am afraid of taking a leap, I do really want to try this sometimes. but I am not looking for encouragement, and  yes I am worried about the aftermath, I am not the kind of person that could just fall into anybodys bed! I am already suffering from deppression and dysphoria about myself and my body I don't want to add more problems!

Calm thyself  :)  Don't fret over this.  New emotions can be erratic and take time to pick apart and understand.  Urges may exist, but as you've said, acting upon those urges could be regretful.  You're too early on in this new discovery, I feel, to be acting on anything.  Take time to try and understand it and explore it [from the sidelines].  Most importantly, again, relax.  It's okay.
Thank you Amy, This is great advise! I don't want to be regretful! I am trying to relax.

Well, this sounds kinda scary - to take hormones (or not take hormones) and find that one can go from liking women, to liking men... I feel there is a certain amount of 'ick' factor involved, here. For those of you who are not bothered by it - fine!
I am not even on hormones yet and this is happening!

I believ so yes! it is a far stretch to me! an MTF is a girl just like me!

That is what I am saying - the OP comes here and post about her fear of change in sexual orientation, and what's the big deal with it ? Life goes on. Hell, gender transition is even huger than sexual orientation change, heh.
Its a big deal! I want to know why!

I think your fine! I have always found MTF's attractive! Because I have always found women attractive, they are women after all!

Thank you for this reply, this makes some sense to me! so your saying since I accepted I am female, my mind has acepted that i can be a straight female?

ok, so I was thinking about the Bi thing! I can't see myself having a relationship with a man only a woman.  I am just curious for now I guess.

So I am still curious!  But I have found that I seem to be into girly emo twink type guys.

something odd.

my wife, who goes back and forth between emotional blackmail/badgering and trying to be so sexy/romantic/needy that i'm seduced into "going back" tried the latter tactic the other morning.

she offered the very rare effort at oral sex and the even rarer (as in, once a year maybe?) opportunity to reciprocate (which she used to enjoy me doing a lot back in our younger days)

the funny thing was, i found performing oral on her not at all enjoyable and mildly unpleasant.  This contrasting with my few experiments at performing oral on a guy and really enjoying it.

is it possible to be interested in guys in the bed and not particularly anywhere else?

I'm not sure that's the case - I haven't had a chance to be "courted" by a guy in any real sense. I have a feeling my feelings about looking at men as attractive all over, and not just sexually, only suffers from a lack of experience with it.

Yes. I'm interested in EVERYONE in the bed but only guys in relationships. So far.

I have been thinking about this quite a bit lately.

I knew I was trans from about 4 years old. I have heard many homosexuals say they knew at a very young age as well.

I had no preference in male or female until puberty hit and girls started to become even more interesting to me than they were when I was younger.

As I come out to more people, I have a changing opinion of men, but I am still much more attracted to women.

I suspect hormones play a role but I also suspect most people are at least a little bit bi.

  I think accepting that you're trans opens the door and you start to wonder if you were in denial about your sexuality too.

not in my case.

From the beginning I openly considered the possibility of being gay,  it's just not in me. At least not guy/guy gay.

my sexual fantasies always revoked around male-female sex, and either with me in the female role, or me as an outside observer of some other female in the act. I TRIED to fantasize about a guy/guy encounter and it left me completely cold.


I might be bi on some level, but not as a male.

Me personally, I don't care if it's me being a "guy" or whatever. I just fantasize about having sex with a guy, and me being the bottom or having a vagina. How I present has absolutely no influence on what I like sexually.

I have always looked at a vagina as "eh, so what?" until I think it's trying to get me, then I go "omg ew". The influence of hormones on my body has made me notice men so much more. It's also made me care far more about what they say, and it's easier for people to ruin the mood. Pre HRT, sex would be like a way of getting over an argument, now arguments get in the way of sex.
To dream of the person you would like to be is to waste the person you are.

I concur here. I've absolutely no interests in men, sexually, while I am stuck in male body (..or well, genitals to be more precise). I can look at them, comment on their looks. Even be visually attracted, but I'd never go for sex. Which is kinda weird, because I could care less what other people are doing, but doing it personally more or less disgusts me. And on the other hand, I'd love to play the female part during it. Male part just doesen't really suit me. At all.

So I always thought that I was heterosexual, even though I've always kept an eye out for men as well. After finding wonderful transworld I did some soulsearching and realised things.

So though this has been answered to op many times by now, I'll play the record one more time, maybe it's your subconcious realising things. You've, subconciously, thought that you shouldn't have sex with male because you were same gender. Now that your subconcious is accepting that you are not same gender it accepts it. I doubdt that you stop liking women though, but I suppose you never know. Personally I'm wondering the same thing, as I'm pre-HRT. Hormones itself shouldn't change it, but mind is powerful. After all, greatest attraction towards women from me has always been their hair and overall style. Maybe they have been because I've wanted to mimic it? Or maybe I'm genuinely bisexual. Or something.

I can only speak for myself but I have never had a problem getting past the fourth date with a transgender girl. The girl inside is
more important then the exterior. It is sad that more men don't see the inner beauty of all girls.
