I guess mine did. I was always Bi to a degree. However when dressed I preferred men. Now with transition, although non op, I prefer men exclusively. Anybody else?
I still prefer women... without going into the steamy details, they just get my motor humming! Women are just so sensual and alluring.
I'm just starting transition and I guess I would describe myself as bi.... Ive always been attracted to both sexes but I'm 100% sure that as HT begins to take full effect I will be a heterosexual woman.... I just don't see myself being with a woman again....even at this early stage....

I think post-transition I am much more open to the idea of dating a man than I was pre-transition such that I would probably describe myself as pansexual but to be honest I am still mainly attracted to women and for the most part it's super hard for me to be impressed by/attracted to a guy. If I am on Tinder looking at ladies I say "Yes" to almost all of them but if I am looking at men I say "no" to almost all of them and I am much more picky. However, now that I have transitioned I am sexually attracted to the idea of a dominant man lusting over my body and having his way with me. But I am not so much interested in dating men or being romantic with men. It's mainly a sexual thing right now.
Not to mention there's that whole "toxic masculinity" thing and bro-culture, which I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole.
I would have to say yes. I was always bisexual with primary interest in men, but as I began mi chemical evolution I met a wonderful ftm an fell madly in love with him. Were togeather now so I guess M pan? Idk, Bloody lables.....
Thinkin onnit m strangely in a hetro relationship....
Call me panda.

As a guy I was into girls but now that I have been in transition & will be a full girl by Apr '16, I 'm more into girls. Doubt I will want to be w/ a guy. I seem more at ease w/ girls. My sister Shasta says that I'm more calm as a girl then I was as a guy. She jokes that she wishes I would have done 'my change' as a teenager than at 27.
No. I liked women before I had my surgery and still do so I guess that makes me a lesbian. Mind you, if I met up with the right guy I might be tempted to try my new vagina out at least once.
Love,

As a male I used to be bi-sexual (50/50) but only had sex with girls. Penetration always felt wrong though so it was kind of ambigous... When I realized what was going on and started my transition I turned straight (or maybe bisexual 90M/10F)
I was straight before and I am straight after transition. It just feels right to me. I am attracted to the opposite gender.

I've always attracted men. I wish I could attract women! Ha!

Prior to transition I was absolutely straight (attracted to men) but within a few years of transition/SRS I found myself inclined toward Bi. All these decades later I figure I am 80 straight and 20% Bi.
I assumed coming into transition that I was A-Sexual because of the lack of any sexual drive or interest at all, but as I went through therapy and transition discovered what my sexuality had been all along. Hugs

change no. did i become more open about it yes
Yep.
Mine did
Before hormones, I was straight (only into women).. The thought of being with a guy kinda grossed me out.
Somewhere along the line during my transition, the idea of been with a man did not gross me out and I started being attracted to them as well.
so post transition, well I am now bi-sexual, with more of an interest in men... so a straight woman with bi-sexual tendencies. I am currently in a long term relationship with a man (dating 13 months now), I love him to bits and I love being his girlfriend and maybe someday I would love to be his wife.
I've been openly bi for a long time and I've been pretty equally into guys or girls. I have been finding since starting HRT though that I'm noticing different things about men, like the way they smell and stuff, and I seem to be more generally attracted to men, at the moment anyway. It might go back to a 50/50 split and this is a bit of a phase, I dont know.
I've always been attracted to women and my years on E didn't disrupt that at all. My odd recent experience is the way I look now, men find me super attractive but the feeling is not mutual. I still get weak in the knees with a beautiful women. I can't help it! :icon_eek: Also now, good looking women speak to me like any other women and it's difficult to "hold back" and say something. I still like to look at the woman form and now I can stare at women in public without looking like a pervert because somehow that's not an odd thing. And now I genuinely am interested in what they are wearing.
Although now that I am in a weaker, softer body, I have had thoughts of having a good looking strong man have his way with me. There are some really really good looking guys out there but it's not something I seek.
I'm not sure... I feel like my preference has become a bit more clear- like in taking away something distracting. I seem to be more interested in men, however, I have an indescribable attraction to women- it is something that I don't yet know how to define. I feel like my interests have rounded into something internal rather than simply aesthetics. Not that being attracted to the physical appearance is superficial, like I said I really don't know how to describe it.
I used to be very male and to be straight . In my head, it was impossible to imagine having sex or being with a men. However I had uncommon thoughts when I had sex with my ex-gf. It was turning me on thinking I was the one getting penetrated and i would just concentrate on this feeling . Now that I started my transition , I want my surgery as soon as possible but things changed . The mind barrier I had about men-men relation is not here anymore as I consider myself a woman . I sometimes had feeling for some men pre-transition, i was just ignoring it and continued my way. I can say that i am Bisexual now.. i would never have thought of this.
Yes, I currently have zero interest in sex. Get back to me after the whole shebang gets installed.
In all seriousness I still favor women, but there are most definitely guys out there that look plenty do-able. Some lucky guys will probably get to be the meat in an amazon samwich* at our house one day. One at a time though...
(*Term coined by Geezer Butler in line at the grocery store.)
only like 7-8 months on HRT but no changes yet, and I don't really expect any. I have never had really any more than the vaugest attraction to a guy. Then again I have also zero personal experiance with anyone so my opinion on sex is sorta worthless.

Hormones do not effect sexual preference, that's a fact. I believe its simply that as we loose barriers an bicome mor comfortable with arselves, we open up to things we were once closed to.
Asexual. Abt 2months hrt still asexual.

So which is it, a fact or a belief? Because I am living proof that your 'fact' is wrong... Not long after starting HRT I noticed a most definite change in how I perceived men, after being mostly 'straight' my whole life (male who fancied females). I am most definitely affected by certain male pheromones now when I wasn't previously. This is a result of the hormonal influence, not 'being comfortable' with myself, because I started noticing men more while I was still insecure. Not sure where you're getting your 'facts' from, but don't speak for all of us..
Well Ashley, there ar also folks in these threads that fully believe that theyre getting breast growth when they have been taking spiro alone, an folks whom believe theyre getting breast growth after only 5 days of E. Mi facts come from na fact I have an extensive background in both biology an pharmacology. M sorry if ye thought mi words were offensive, but atleast I wasn't directly rude to anione...

Not trying to snap at you but you're almost making it sound like orientation is more a choice than anything and that there isn't a biological and hormonal component to sexual attraction..
Oh not at all Ashley, an I apologise fer coming off strong (iffin I did?). Fer one M from an aggressive culture an M still working on properly communicating with people without offending or being offended. (a life long process). Also I take into account that M an emotional nutter on E (as we all ar) sometimes an I just adjusted levels again. No offense meant, none taken.
Now then no, M not at all saying prefferance is a choice. Hormones do come into play to a degree, like when yer repulsed bi na taste or smell of yer partner though ye love them. A lot of ar behavior in this area is learned, some attraction can bi based on pleasure synapses in yer brain being activated bi yer emotional connection to na other person (strangely this is how one can fall in love with inanimate objects) Yes these reactions release hormones but those ar Dopamine's an whatnot, not T or E. an na rest??? Whom knows, but it's not guided bi hormones though infleuanced.
For me, transition has awakened a "passive" sexuality. Before, I used to be attracted to feminine people only (including twinks) with a few notable exceptions. Nowadays, I'm not any more attracted by masculinity than I was before... but the thought of a burly dude taking a liking to me... um... steams my glasses a bit. Even if he's got body hair! That's new.
Probably but I think it's just the fact that I present better as a woman than as a man. Totally attracted to guys and they do flirt with me, even went on a date or two.
My sexuality did not change. I am still very much attracted to masculine, straight men only. However my sexual practices have changed as a result of transition. Without going into too much detail, I will say as a male pre-transition, my member was off limits for anybody, but now I incorporate it more with my activities, as transitioning has altered my mindset and identity to "a female with an extra something," as opposed to just male with a member he did not want to use. I'm still very much completely submissive and you'll never see me on the top side of the bunker, but I've learned to become more comfortable with my genitals since transition.
I guess my parts was never cause of my dysphoria---just my identity and how I presented.
transitioning has let me except my attraction to men a lot more.
I think E has made me re examine my sexuality. I've always liked guys but it was always kinda an emotional thing? Like I was turned on by the idea of being with men and the things they can do but really wasn't ever attracted to guys.
I've only been on E for a little over 3 months but I'm defiantly noticing that some guys are freakin' hot. Dunno if that's the E or just me giving myself permission.
On the other hand growing up I've had a number of crushes on girls. Which after a while I passed off as miss-placed envy or me trying to force myself into a typical hetro guy mindset. Now however I'm re-evaluating my feelings and wondering if they where genuine crushes?
So thought I was a straight girl who was forcing herself to be a straight guy but might be bi in retrospect?
For me, there was ABSOLUTELY no change at all.
MtF Trans Lesbian all the way through. Guess I am not straight (attracted to women - by outside appearances) as most thought - after all. I'm a Lesbian.
I have no bisexual drift either. I really feel sorry for my wife - she doesn't either.
I'm starting to think this is harder on her than it is on me. >:(
