Susan's Place Transgender Resources

If you're none of the above, comment! Actually, you can comment anyway.

I identify as omnisexual, personally.

I'm FTM and i'm pansexual as I can be attracted to any sex or gender but I do have a preference to male bodied people. I consider a trans man who's been on T a couple of years to be male bodied even if they haven't had any surgery.

I am attracted to all people, trans and cis, but I prefer men to women

Gay MTF here

FtM with fluctuation orientation. I am capable of being attracted to any person regardless of the sex they were assigned at birth or their gender identity, but my preference changes. Lately I've been wholly attracted to women, but still cant keep my hands off of my cismale significant other.

I'm a heterosexual woman attracted exclusively to men, regardless of their history. I didn't see that option listed, but I answered anyway :)

I 'm glad someone did this poll again; there was an older one here some time ago, but it's always interesting to see how the results are distributed here.

Bi MTF. I tend to go back and forth sometimes.

In my boy life, I was only attracted to women as romantic partners.  On HRT, this did a 180 and now I'm attracted to men.  The tricky bit is that I don't like the act of sex... not even interested in it.  Relationships, definitely.  Hugging and kissing, you bet.  Sex, no.

Guess that makes me asexual, but confused as anything. ???  Could be I just need a positive experience.  I dunno.

mostly into women but i guess id say pan sexual, cuz id date almost anyone, its just women that im attracted to a lot of the time

im mtf and only attracted to females for relationships but i id as bi i guess since i have slept with men.

I'm a polysexual female who used to be a polysexual male (still a few kinks to iron out on the physical front there, but the rest of it is crystal clear). I used to think of myself as bisexual, but now I realise I'm attracted to individual people who may coincidentally be male, female, or anywhere within or off to one side of that apparent spectrum, so bi is no longer an appropriate label. This is all currently academic, in that I'm currently not sexually active when anyone else is in the room ::).

Hello Yoxi,

I love your explanation. I too, think I may be polysexual.  ;)

I'm a transguy and have a preference for queer femmes (cis or trans) over straight women. I consider myself queer and don't see the relationship as heteronormative/straight. So yeah, you should have added a queer option in addition to gay since one can be queer without being gay :laugh:

I'm MTF, and I no longer have a clear idea of my sexuality.  I've mainly been attracted to women, although lately the idea of being with a man is at least theoretically appealing.  Since going on HRT, my skin has become a LOT more sensitive to touch, and I'd LOVE to have someone touch me gently all over.  Make love to me.  I don't think it matters which gender, but it's all theoretical at this point.  Stay tuned...  ;)

MTF and in a committed relationship.  If i wasn't, then i would consider myself bi, although I lean more toward lesbian right now.

long-time post-op here who still holds gold star lesbian status...never had interest in guys as a romantic interest and have not had any in the ~14 years post-op. 

Yeah I just like what I like. Mainly females tho, but my ex is a FTM but I dated him when he was still girly I would date him now as a man, It's just who you fall for, can't help it

Im a hetrosexual woman attracted to men, Im now a married woman married to a man.

I picked andro and asexual as i am now living as a FTM and have long ago given up on relationships.
As a MTF i never did find true love with another like myself. I had considered myself a transbian (seeking only full time post op or full time pre ops who had an orchy) however, all the sisters i met wanted sex first before the relationship, so i never got past just meeting.
I never was attracted to men and disliked my own body and sexuality pre transitioning, so i have never wanted any other males with testes around me. However, there were times i found some nice ftms attractive, but it was never reciprocated.
I am also 14 yrs post op celibate virgin.

Somewhere on the bi continuum, more towards the het side.

I'm straight but I've been with women and it's mmmk. I also haven't taken hormones yet.

Quote from: Beth Andreaas a man, 100% into women

That.

As a woman, I currently describe myself as bi. However, I think in reality it's more like hetro without ruling out females as potential partners. So 5% females & 95% males? ;D The problem is the two guys I've fancied has been a FTM who showed no interest, and now this huge crush on a male friend of mine who I'm not even going to think about risking the friendship over.

I'm another pan guy.
These results are pretty interesting.  I wonder why more guys identify as pan/omni than girls.

I'm just on the cusp of transition and HRT, and I consider myself bi.  However, it's more like 80/20 with a preference towards women.  As I explore my gender identity more in-depth, this ratio seems to fluctuate.  I've come to realize that part of the attraction I had towards women was the fact that they are female, and I perhaps mistook envy for attraction.  In terms of men, I guess I'm into small framed femme guys. 

If I think you're worth it, I'll consider you  ;D

FtM, asexual, and also aromantic. I experience no sexual or romantic attraction whatsoever.

Kia Ora,

::) I'm easy!  ;)

No seriously folks, I'm what you would call a neo-asexual bi-romantic/affectionate... Even though I have children from my past marriage, I have no interest whatsoever in sexual relationships...I just like people, that is, when it comes to being attracted to someone[not in a sexually intimate way] I'm gender-blind...

My true sexual orientation[if you can call asexuality a SO] came out of the closet the same time as my gender identity...

I have the best of both worlds... ;) :icon_smile: :icon_hug:

I lesbian currently trapped in a guy's body....it's unfortunate how popular that joke is and how many men who don't mean it use it...Bleh

Don't know. I have a bit of attraction towards both women and men, based on how they look or how they act, guess it also depends on which hormones are dominate, prior to hormones I had more attraction to women, but half that time I was looking I was envious and thinking, god I wish I looked like her, but while on the hormones for a while I started to feel pulled more towards men, because I was feeling like a woman myself I had very little desire to look at any women, I was content enough to see myself as one, and now that I've been off of the hormones for too long, more attraction towards women again, even stronger than before, wanting to feel and look like that again. As for sexual attraction, can't say, never been there, but I've had fantasies about both, so perhaps I'd be bi, I dunno.

I like to think that I couldn't reject another person based on their biological sex or gender identity, but I'm sexually attracted to males and romantically attracted to females. I'm not sure which box that sticks me in.

I picked 'bi/pan/omni'.

I guess I'm heteroflexible, i.e male-identified, 99.9% attracted to women (both cis and trans), but there is that one fraction of me that is attracted to men. I didn't really vote, as I wasn't sure of what to vote. Also, I'm pre-T.

I are bi woman...but prefer the emotional intimacy you get with another woman

I used to consider my self bi/pansexual, but over the last few months have started to feel attracted to women only.  I now consider myself to be a lesbian, who will probably remain celibate until after SRS, unless I meet a woman who can tolerate my bits more than I can.

I used to be the same way, but now I just think my mind tried to close off any romantic feelings I had for men and focused on the romantic feelings I had for women. Maybe you just haven't met a man that you feel emotionally attracted to yet, some of them are very romantic. :P

Just my experience of course.

This is quite possible. I was never comfortable with men treating me like the 'girlfriend' and scoffed at any notion of romance, so I only had friends with benefits. Maybe things will change when I meet a gay guy. Thanks for the input. (:

That reminds me of MTF's getting the whole weird "man trapped in a man's body" speech if we're attracted to women. Whatever, at that point they're just being facetious or argumentative for it's own sake.

I voted "straight" and thought I was for a long time. It was hard, back in the 1960s, to separate transsexualism from being Gay. If you wanted to change your sex or seemed overly feminine, it was assumed you were Gay and doing it all for sexual reasons. It was difficult to get people to understand that you wanted to change WHAT you are to match WHO you are and sex was only a part of that.

A few years after SRS (and too much alcohol) I ended up in bed with another woman (my first time EVER with a woman) and I enjoyed it - boy did that #### with my head! LOL!

Anyway, "straight" but not perfectly  ;)

Straight F2M but for the time being, I'm tryin' to focus on myself & I'm not attracted to anything...   8)

i voted,no further comment,ok done.....ok gotta run(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FU4gkI.jpg&hash=d1a8b275b091df4f19aa6389b9fda50b379b0b03)

I'm sorry for that post, it is not fair to anyone,the fact is that i don't know anymore.

Bi technically if I was pressed to put a label on it although what I'm precisely attracted to is abit complicated.

Since transitioning my only flirtatious experiences have only been with males thus far... This is because I don't goto gay bars, and through random encounter your more likley to have heterosexual encounters than homosexual ones.

F..ck it.yeah, i loved sucking that high hard one.I loved it in me.It makes me feel like i am a woman.

I'm an andro who mostly finds the female body attractive - but it's no hard and fast rule and although I am not assexual but I am not the most forward sexual person there is - means the bulk of my experience has been with men. I've been in a long term relationship with a woman (and I believe fellow andro) that none of us has admitted to... yeah, it's all a bit odd.

i'm a heterosexual mtf. i never really understood what a pansexual or omnisexual is. i always thought that heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual were enough. an androsexual is something i've never even heard of. simply because it's a very rare thing in my experiences to regularly come in contact with some gender variant individual.

Omni sexual means you are sexually attracted to everything; foxes, wallpaper, dinosaurs, fridges, photographs of dead great grandparents etc...

ftm who is pansexual but mostly into girls for fear of getting prego ugh Might would have a non sexual relationship with a guy though pre-hysto

oh, well that's a new one on me.

North West, I think. I'll have to check my Feng Shui. :)

At this point, I don't know what the hell I am. I think I might be gay.  When I was younger I said I knew I was bi, for about five years claimed I was a lesbian (while trying to suffocate the hell out of my attraction and near infatuation with the male body, makes so much sense in retrospect), finally admitted to bisexual and then this past year I've noticed my attraction/interest in women depleting and then flat-out disappearing.

Anyone else have this happen? It weirds me out and actually kind of upsets me. I hate not knowing wtf is up with my own head, and I'm freaking out that my family is just going to think I'm insane. Not to mention everyone I know will go insane if I finally do end things with Julie and stay with just Ben.

I'm an FTM and bisexual, lol. I lean toward guys, as I relate well with them and have always been attracted to them. If we are talking about love, I would say I'm gay. If we're talking about pure physical attraction, I could go both ways.

Quote from: Sarah7 on May 06, 2011, 05:50:56 PM
Androsexual means attracted to men, gynosexual means attracted to women. They are terms divorced from any statement about the gender of the one being attracted, so they are useful for people who identify as neither female nor male.

Pansexual literally means "not limited in sexual choice." It was a term developed to be inclusive of gender identities other than female and male. As far as I know omnisexual is identical. Though I find the implication that nobody who is gay or straight or bi can be interested in gender variant individuals mildly irritating.

I thought an androsexual was someone who just looks androgenous and i never even heard of a gynosexual (looks like a vagina?) so my answer is wrong i should be a gynosexual who is asexual.. geeez these new terms these days ... and no i don't look like a vagina i just act like one

Quote from: Valeriedances on April 22, 2011, 02:11:54 PM
Does ftm and mtf include post-transition, since they are no longer in the -to- state?

How about MFF and FFM? (Male-from-Female and Female-from-Male)

F..ck it.yeah, i loved sucking that high hard one.I loved it in me.It makes me feel like i am a woman.

If anyone can ever explain to me what it means to "feel like a woman," I would like to hear it.

Me: was male bodied, always been female, sexually fluid.

A couple of days ago I voted in this.

It wasn't a very good day. So, I accidentally voted "I'm FTM and I'm bi/pan/omni"
It should be "I'm MTF and I'm bi/pan/omni"

Oh well, the poll isn't scientifically valid anyway :P

Need a change vote option :(

straight ftm here. im more into women. ive never think anything about men because thats not my type.

I voted MTF and I'm straight.

Haven't started HRT yet and who knows if things will change....but yeah, not long ago I admitted to myself despite years of rationalizing to the contrary.... I'm emotionally and sexually attracted to men. Lucky me.

As a side note, I have begun formal process of seeking a refund on that discovery! ;P

MtF but I am sure if I am lesbian or bi.

Either bicurious or bi with preferance for woman.

Meh, will vote bi >.>

I'm heteroflexible. I'm pansexual, but I do have a romantic preference for male identified folk, gender queer folk, and tomboyish or butch girls. This is the opposite of how i was before I started transitioning (pansexual with a romantic preference for feminine female identified folk).

I love men regardless of which gender I feel like

I'm MTF and only sexually attracted to men.

If I fall in love with someone it doesn't matter what gender that person is.
It's the person I'm attracted too, mostly female but there are some men worth to have breakfast with.

So, nobody is really safe with me in the neighborhood(lol)

Hugs

I'm ftm and bisexual. I am heteroromantic for the most part, however, and I lean heavily in my romantic and physical attraction towards women. 

I'm preop MtF and currently asexual.  If something drastic doesn't occur I'll be into men when I'm done. 

I'm bisexual ¿pansexual? mmm...  ???

Strictly Dickly :p

I am FTM and capable of being attracted to anyone but generally lean toward men.

i used to suspect, deny, or believe that i'm bisexual. then a couple of days ago i read the definition of 'pansexual', and realized this is what i've been probably my entire life. i'm totally unable to see why another person's gender (identity) or sexual orientation should matter when it comes to sexual or romantic attraction

also i've decided on identifying as androgyne for the time being. it may change though

Heck ya! I evened up the score for the straight m2f's  :laugh:

I am attracted to: emotionally mature, highly educated, athletic, honest, fashionists, tolerant, compassionate humans who have a sense of humor.

I think it's really interesting that the women here are perfectly even over the lesbian/bi/straight range, but the guys are overwhelmingly bi/pan.  I wonder why that is.

I'm FTM and mainly into guys, but I am flexible.  I find women attractive but aren't really into them, but the first person I ever fell in love with was a girl and i still feel a deep attachment to her.  So I'm mainly gay, but flexible enough to be with a woman if we jive well enough.  As a side note, exploring further, I have a much greater attraction to feminine guys than masculine (but as with everything it is not a hard and fast rule), and this goes for physicality as well as mentality.  (Feminine but not necessarily womanly).

I'm a gay cis male.  I didn't see an option that fit me (understandably) so I didn't vote.  I realize I'm kind of peanut gallery-ish.

I'm asexual but in a relationship I want a man. Tried dating women at one time and it wasn't enjoyable. Mainly did it because I was trying to be a straight male.

I'm FTM and I'm attracted primarily to anyone whose personality gets along with mine. I prefer people physically on the mid-to-male side of the gender spectrum, though.

MtF lesbian here. :)

I'm ftm...I mostly prefer male figures, whether cis or ftm.  But, I'm open to other relationships.  I guess it's just who you fall for and if it's the right person.
~Aiden

Well I'm still finding in a way. So I'd say bi mtf.

lol, I just put this in another post but will be happy to place here as well.

Just found out today what Pansexaul was and feel I am such. I love all kids of people both sexually and emotionally. Used to believe I was Bi-Sexual but now that I know what Pansexual is I am definitely that.


~Kalie~

Wellll   right now while i am sitting here in this chair i am oriented mostly eastbysoutheast  :-*

right now i'm west oriented. or should it be occidented..?

I'm in the Orient. In a week I return to the Occident. ;D

I'm a gay-leaning pansexual/panromantic genderqueer FTM.  ;D

I wouldn't be averse to the term "male lesbian" should I ever find myself in a relationship with a girl. But knowing me, I'd probably stick with "gay" half the time. I'm kind of weird about thinking of an aspect of myself as straight. I'm a bit interested in how this might evolve once T begins to seduce my lazy-ass libido. XD

Two months more HRT since my earlier post, and I seem to have settled more in a lesbian orientation.  The thought of sex with a man has become increasingly an incomprehensible concept.

I enjoyed it when I was in a relationship for a fair part of last year, and don't feel at all uncomfortable remembering it, but I just can't visualise ever wanting to repeat the experience.  It is like trying to imagine pi equalling 3,  a baffling concept that just doesn't work!

Watching the people walking past when I was in a cafe on a busy shopping street today, I just saw the guys as a stream of nondescript male persons walking past. Sort of amorphous interchangeable mass of male bodies.

The women on the other hand were all different.  They all had an individuality about them, and were all attractive in their own way, aside from whether I fancied any of them sexually. Must admit there were a few got my pulse up! >:-)
Karen.

I dunno... Definitely asexual, since I do not like sex, but I do not know what I am.  Obviously not FtM, haha

I'm none of the above. I am genderqueer on the edge of being FTM! I call myself genderqueer or gay female.

I obviously need to look up more terms...

I don't know... (i don't know why) i only know that i don't know and i don't know why i don't know which is my orientation  ???

as well XD, (thanks)

I've always found myself emotionally attracted to women, it's important to me that I be able to fully relate to the one I'm with. My partner is also my best and closest friend, and it can't be any other way.

MtF and straight. Before I truly realized that I wanted to be a girl, I at least knew that I was attracted to guys. I never liked the idea of being a "man" in a relationship and the one relationship I have had in my short life was ill-fated for that very reason. I perhaps uncoincidentally started transtioning a few months after it fell apart.

Some of these answers are absoloutely priceless. Hey, I take a Phycotropic drug that helps me just stay focused as i have had two severe head traumas in my life . Problem is , I really am not interested sexually with anyone as a result . I take a lot of grief over that too. ellen

I'm androgyne and bisexual.  I'm physically attracted to boys with feminine features, especially in the face and hands, (good thing I'm marrying a person who fits this.)   ;D and I like short, frail-looking girls with dainty features; I'm incredibly nervous around them and have a strong need to protect them.   ::) 

I'm emotionally attracted to strong, intelligent, independent people who love to cuddle.   ;D  I am a self-proclaimed cuddle monster. 

I voted neutrois and bi/pan/omni since that was the closest option. I'm actually rather genderless and demisexual/panromantic. That is, I'm capable of being attracted to pretty much anyone, but I have to be close friends with them first. I'm mainly attracted to men by the simple fact that I have more men in my life than women or other types.

According to my best bud, I'm "gay as a handbag full of rainbows." Make of that what you will ^_^

I'm BI and I'm only guessing. Pre-op and age is not the best position to make very definitive statements other the just follow my FEELINGS, on the subject.

Yeah well,
Axelle

Straight :)

 :o  f2M heterosexual <<<--- 'cause I do only woman...NO MEN, and I don't date f2M's because then that would make me gay, and that is NOT what I am...my thought on this has always been the same...As a Bio-woman, the thought of men entering me was NOT my preference, soooo, as a f2M [transgender], the thought is still the same, why would I date and have sex with a male, if I didn't do IT as a fe-Male....?   ;D

I love everyone und everybody, und everything [well mostly], but sexually I enjoy Women! I would also like to add; that if you are a m2F [yes] I would date you, but if you still had your male appendage, know this [there would be NO sex] between the two of us, unless I was doing the giving and you were receiving [and even then, that's a maybe]. But I would have no problem dating you....   ;D

La Papito, methinks you and I have much too much in common. If you ever find yourself in Tennessee I would like to invite you to tea and scones. :U

TheAweSomePrussia...had I known this too...I would have accepted the offer...just only two-days ago, did I pass through your Chattanooga State...hope the offer still stands when I pass thru again, those beautiful "Blue-Ridged" Mountains.... :o

Read my caption...like minds think alike....hahaha

I'm in Murfreesboro, if that's not too far. But yea. Offer is open for all my friends. I like conversational tea, especially among gentlemen. Hard to find guys with class down here. :/

Androgyne, pansexual, with a preference towards the femme. So this means that, physically at least, I usually end up being attracted to women, though I like some guys, especially if their pretty! But romantically, gender is pretty much a non-issue; it all depends on if we connect in that manner.

I consider myself straight. I'm interested in men, that want me for being a female. Me dating a female or and gay male are things I never really found myself interesting in doing . So even though I'm transgender, I see myself as being a straight female in terms of relationships I look for.

I'm gay.
I was assigned female at birth, but since I am a boy gender-wise who likes other men, I am gay.

Straight FTM. I only like girls as partners, but I am the first one to admit when I see a good looking guy. It's nice to not be hung up on seeming "->-bleeped-<-gy" like most straight cis-guys I know.

I'm a transwoman attracted to men. Genitals don't bother me though, it's the masculinity that i find attractive.

Whoever said heteroflexible, that's pretty much what describes me.
