I wonder how many of the 'hetero M2Fs' had lead a 'gay' life style when living as their birth sex( sexual relationship with someone of the same birth sex) and how many lead a 'hetero life style (in a relationship with another female) before they started to bat for the other team ...I think I did a poll on this a while back, I can't remember where to find it...Any way it was just a thought...
In my case I led a hetero lifestyle. Broke up with my ex-GF after almost 4 years for a variety of reasons, but one of my main ones was that, while I enjoyed having sex with her, I did not enjoy the way she wanted to have it (with me acting very masculine, dominating). In the end being gynephilic did not really help me in realising that I'm trans*, as I seemed very much gender-conforming
. In retrospect, things like dreaming of having sex with a girl as a girl, and having similar fantasies during puberty could have been a bit of a hint though...
I went into HRT without my mind being made up, i.e. while I knew what my current preference was, I did not reject the possibility that this could change. I had my suspicions, but, like with so many things while transitioning, did not want to curtail my options by trying to impose anything. After 3 1/2 months of HRT, my attraction to women has not shifted, if anything it has gotten stronger (and I mean sexual attraction, I'll ignore the "attraction because I really love her style" for now
). I actually find men ... unpleasant ... these days, and my sense of smell improving has not helped matters. Then again, for all I know it might flip in a few months, although I am doubtful, but I'm not going to rule it out. Interesting times.
