I identify as female but still like girls

[Foxtran]

Is this normal?

[PC509]

Yes, it's very normal. A lot of MtF's are lesbian. I am as well.

[Laura_7]

In a survey of over 2000 trans women, very roughly one third idetified as lesbian, one third as bi etc. and one third as straight.

Was gonna make a joke here, but it's a tad lewd. I would say that sexual preference is just as varied amongst trans people as it is amongst cis people.

[marsh monster]

Its perfectly normal for trans women that like girls. not so normal for everyone else.

[Contravene]

Of course it's normal, don't worry. Gender identity and sexuality are two separate things. Sometimes people get that confused. Sexuality can be fluid too.

It is normal.

I've read that it is common, I can 't confirm this, though. I can however say, that I identify as female, and I am still attracted to women. Sexual preference and gender identity are two separate entities. Which, contrary to popular belief, have nothing to do with each other. Hope this helps.

sexuality and gender are two different things. both can be fluid and both can change but one doesn't always impact the other. I was attracted to girls as a guy and through my transition and discovery of myself learned I am in fact attracted to guys sexually. Thats just me though.

I like both girls and guys. It is really common for t-girls to be lesbian or bi, so don't worry about who you are attracted to. btw, understanding the difference between gender and sexual orientation helepd me understand that I am a transsexual

[londonswaves]

For a woman to be lesbian, or just simply be attracted to or dating women is not weird. Just as it's not weird for you to like men or non-binary people.

Is this normal?

Sure it is.

I liked girls before my transition. I liked girls after my transition.

(So does the squirrel on the right. But, she's not trans.)

Gender identity and sexuality are two separate things.

That's what I thought. Also, lots of replies and pretty quickly too, I love this community!

[charlotte15]

well I'm like that so of course it's normal lol

[disturbedraccoon]

Considering I'm a gay transboy, I don't see the problem.

Not at all... There are no rules about who you prefer in a friend or relationship basis.
