Girl Power

Hi girls

I went to a Transgender support meeting on thursday and i met a Post up trans girl around my Age. We ended up having a coffee and talking for hours after the meeting. We have lots in common and we really hit off. The confusing part for me was I think I'm really attracted to her. After the meeting I could not stop thinking about her. Problem is I thought I was straight and now I'm really confused. Ive Never connected with anyone so much in my life. Can I ask you girls was your sexuality easy to work out or has it been as confusing as it has been for me? Any advice for me would be great too?

Ps this girl is bi and has dated guys and gals in the past

My sexuality has always been very confusing. I like guys and I like girls but I can't say who I like more. The thought of being with a guy is certainly more arousing then being with a girl but emotionally I connect with women a lot more. But I could be confuding emotion for arousal. Idk. But I feel ya.

My sexuality is still somewhat of a mystery to me...

I like both guys and girls...more so feminine presenting people...so technically I'm Pansexual.

The problem is that I'm more (being the key word) attracted to male parts...and yet I still really like the intimacy of a relationship with another girl...

So basically Im stuck between...

Guys

Sexual attraction = 85%
Emotional attraction = 60%

Girls

Sexual Attraction = 70%
Emotional Attraction = 100%

I also tend to really like trans people or people who are non-binary...

Not to mention the complex thoughts in my brain of whether I want SRS or not...which also happen to be related to my sexual orientation...

So yes...it is possible to have complex sexual preferences...

I'd advise checking the rules of your group cause mine says we can't date fellow members.

As for sexuality, attraction, etc... love is love.  I'm in the camp of love's a tricky enough thing without adding an obsession on parts.  Yet, I'd call myself a lesbian before bi.

My soul mate is a woman.  I still did end up getting a small harmless crush on a guy I used to work with.  After accepting I'm trans that crush hit me like, "This is new.  Huh.  Interesting." and I proceeded to carry on and let myself enjoy it for what it was.

If you like her and she likes you back, why, it sounds like you may be starting a wonderful adventure!

Men only. I've tried women numerous times but they've always grossed me out. I don't see that ever changing, but I wouldn't have a problem if it did.
To dream of the person you would like to be is to waste the person you are.

Every time I've tried to date a woman I'm quickly reminded of why I'm attracted to men. Yeah sure sometimes I really don't get men but there is something about them I just can't resist ether.

What is it about them that you can't resist? xD

I can't say for sure but I believe it might be they have what I'm attracted too is they have what I've always had to pretend I had. Now I'm not just talking about any guy ether I am kind of picky on what types of guys I like. But tend to be drawn to the take charge type maybe that's what I lack that I find I can't resist. But really how can you know what attracts you to a person it just happens.

IMO "gay" and "straight" are nothing more than labels. The human condition is infinitely more complex.

I think it depends heavily on the person. Even thought I had some fleeting thoughts about men. Personally I'd told some people pre-transition I was asexual. Really I think I was just so uncomfortable with my body that I couldn't allow myself to embrace my sexual orientation. Even though I haven't been with men or women, I know I'm only interested in men. I know I want a big strong man, but he has to be smart and thoughtful. I can't even imagine being intimate with a women even if I tried. I want my first time with a man to be when I'm post-op, but that's me. I now describe myself as a straight woman of the trans variety. That's become my rallying cry.

Bottom line is, I won't force my kind of attraction on anyone else. Everyone is different. Some are more fluid than others. Some are more black and white like Alaina and myself. Labels are fine for some, they're not for everyone though. You still shouldn't let people or labels influence your view of your sexual orientation.

Im in the same boat of being attracted to both, when it comes to making a choice I'm a little more selfish then others. While most people go by emotions, i go more by the fact that a real di*k tastes and feels better then a toy ever will....but no matter what, boobs will ALWAYS be a ton of fun to play around with lol.
I need a hero to save me now, i need a hero to save my life, a hero will save me just in time!!

My sexuality is sort of confusing.  People would identify me differently than I probably would.

In terms of physical attraction, I tend to like both genders.  I like both masculine and feminine features.  Yet, I find myself skeeved out at the thought of being physical with anyone.  I am not asexual, but very insecure with my body.  However, if I were comfortable, I am still not sure how I'd feel being with a woman.  There are many things I flat out wouldn't do.  Post op, well I'd be more open. As for men, I really like the idea of it all,lol.  Still feel awkward with being pre-op, but think  I could work around it all.

In terms of romantic attraction, I really see myself with a guy exclusively.  It just feels right to me and makes me happy whenever I think of it.  However, I don't know if I am turned off to being with a woman because I don't want to be seen as a "boyfriend" and expected to be the guy of the relationship.  This is problematic for a relationship in any gender, but I can't help but feel I would be more comfortable with a man for this reason.  Even if I were post op, I don't think I would ever feel comfortable or happy with  a woman.  I just feel more happy and excited when I imagine dating a guy as a woman.  Dating girls really just turns me off.   Still, I have had crushes from time to time on girls.  But, in the end, I know I would much rather be happy with a friendship than a dating situation.   

So, I don't know how to properly label my sexuality.  I consider myself straight because of my romantic inclinations, but others would say I am bisexual or bi-curious.

To the OP..   It is, in the end, the personality that fosters the most sustainable attractions and emotional bonds.. Just roll with it and don't dwell on the 'parts' as love seems to find a way somehow and can take one down paths they never thought they would go.   ;)    If you make each other happy spending any kind of time together why fight it.

It's confusing isn't it? Ah...the joys of the human brain. Consciously, I say i'm bi. Pretty bi I can see myself with either at the moment.

For me, I'm not attracted to gay guys, but straight ones. But I know they see me as a guy, so then I think..oh, if he was only gay or bi!. This one at work, I know he's straight, it's been proven...but I can't stop thinking about him and there's nothing I can do. It's like that saying for women, all the good ones are either gay or married...for me, all the good ones are straight and will ever only see me as a guy (for now).

Thanks for everyone for your replies. I've decided to just go with it and see what happens. I'm still confused but I'm not going to let that stop me from following my heart. I'll let everyone know if anything happens I'm a bit down at the moment because it seems she does not feel the same way. I hate love sometimes just makes you so sad. Thanks girls for your help

My life partner is a cis woman, I love her dearly and love women in general. Had a post-op MtF girlfriend once, we were close, and I knew her mind and heart well. Men are predictable, I know the mindset, motives and modus operandi and am not remotely impressed.
