The statistics and complexity of "our" sexuality always fascinated me.
Why does "normal society" have this if your a TS's your sexuality must be homosexual.
IE just because I was born a male and want to be female you want to assume I like men.
(even thou for the record i live up to that sterotype)
But how often does that stertype hold true in MTF TS's
or In FtM TS's
I'm betting my pych degree it primarily holds true for FtM TS's and the complete opposite for MtF

My answer doesn't quite exist. I am not currently dating, but I would be interested in trying out a date with both a male and a female. So, it's between not dating and dating both. Which one to choose?

I remember reading once that male sexual attraction is more directed and maybe more visceral, while female attraction is a bit more fluid and emotive? I think there's some truth to it, just by comparing what my 'normal' friends have confided in me.
But anyway as I am now, I don't feel comfortable dating and probably won't until I go more or less fulltime. Once I get there... I think I'll try both, but I have a feeling that I'll mostly be dating men.

I'm attracted to women - all women, straight, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual and non-transsexual.
Unfortunately, I don't get my pick of entrees from this buffet of beauty.
For the most part, lesbians are not attracted to me. Which sucks as there are many hot lesbians in my town.
The vast majority of women in my bed have been bisexual.
But I've heard that lesbians are supposedly attracted to FtMs, so maybe after transition this will change. Mmm lipstick lesbians. >:D

I am bisexual, however I do not date for the foreseeable future.
*chortle* For that matter, of 31 years of life I have been on three dates... ;)

You know why they do that Chynna? because they confuse sex and gender, that's why.
I'm just so fed up by telling people that sex and gender are two separate things. I am going to use a cliche now, but hey that's the best way to explain it. Sex refers to what you were born with between your legs, and gender refers to what you believe you are in your mind, in your heart, in your soul. After this, it shouldn't be that confusing, I hope.

For myself I've started to explore my sexuality again an now I'm often at the local dance clubs dancing my brains out. However, as I'm still married I am not actively dating men yet, but I don't often turn down an offer to dance. While my own personal sex drive has greatly diminished and I feel it is sometimes nonexistent, it hasn't stopped my attraction to men and it feels surprisingly good to be in their arms on the dance floor.
I was at a huge "Pride" dance last night and while the dancing was fun I felt very much out of place, I felt more comfortable at the straight bar we went to to warm us up for the main event. shrug

I'm married so I don't date. So that is what I put in the poll.
As far as relationships go I am only attracted to women.
