Here's an odd story. It's sort of an instance of waffling homosexuality. In a nutshell, a homosexual woman had a sex change to become a homosexual male. Let that sink in.

Frankly, I can barely understand the biological slicing and dicing, called a phalloplasty, to go from woman to man but how that would change a person's sexual orientation is a mystery.

A lot of people are in denial about their sexual orientation, trans people included.  I've heard many times stories of transitioning people who never had a gay encounter in their birth gender but as soon as they completed their transition they found those of their birth gender to be sexually attractive.  And many of them later said it was taboo for them to have a gay encounter so they erased any thoughts of it from their minds.

And of course, there's the effect of hormones...  ::)

It just shows you never know what will happen when you allow yourself to just be yourself.
