Most of the trans men I know are straight or queer and are with women/prefer women.  I feel like the odd guy out in that I loved men before transition, and love them more after transition.

On HRT, I still like women as much as ever. If anything, I think I have started to think of more butch and masculine women as less attractive than before. To me this is kinda puzzling, and worrying as my dating pool was already going to be small, I was actually sort of hoping HRT might "broaden" my horizons on who I was attracted to not limit them, but I have resigned just to embrace how I feel, since I can't really change that, and small dating pool or not maybe I will get lucky and find someone. Whatever, I am a femme lesbian, whatever the chances there are far worse things to be.

As far as women's rights go, I have always considered myself something of a feminist but, I find myself much more aware of female misogyny now, since I see women trash women much more than pre HRT and I can only think that is my perception that has changed rather than the world. I also find myself feeling guilty more when comments that reinforce stereotypes are offered by my friends, especially in relation to myself. Like sure I am really bad at math, and they will make an off-handed comment about my math skills like "welcome to womanhood" and internally at first I am ecstatic as I am seeming to be accepted but then I feel guilty as it reinforces a bad and untrue stereotype of women...
