Does anyone happen to know about any research papers or statistics on this issue. Especially interesting would be data on who people end up with say a decade after transitioning and what their original orientation was before and during their transition.

In my former life, I was married twice, 2 different women and numerous relationships with women, but for some reason it never worked out and I couldnt understand why. I never saw men in a way that I would ever consider a relationship with them or be attracted to them, so, I was for all intents and purposes a hetro male.

Amazingly after beginning HRT, and in time it began working its magic on my brain, my focus shifted to men, which initially shocked me. As time passed, i simply allowed it to happen and things became clearer, I started to understand my relationships better, and my position in them.
Today I am a hetro woman, in an amazing relationship with an amazing man, and it all works right and naturally for the first time. Im in the middle age spectrum.

On the topic of beards, well, when he caresses the small of my back with his lips and that prickly stubble does its magic!  . . . Oh boy! Ill leave the rest up to your imagination!

My situation is very similar, HRT changed everything, my attraction turning to men was a little scary at first, but got better when I had my SRS surgery, I'm now a completely hetro straight woman, married to a wonderful man who is a very supportive husband to me, I'm a fulltime housewife, life is very ordinary.

straight in what contex? lol. straight as in guy liking straight? lol

If any women want a man there are plenty out there. I reopened a profile on TSDating & so many men have replied.

Good luck GF's.

Me, I'm straight as an arrow. I've never done anything with a female ever,nor do I want to. There was a time when I was younger that I tried to force myself to not be 'gay' (as a boy) and it was pretty traumatic tbh

well i think i can consider myself straight seeing as i figured out i have no sexual attraction to women what so ever o.o kinda in denial though but its what it is. wait, i'm not on hrt as of yet so doesnt that make me bi 

I'm straight.

Haha, no xD bi means you're attracted to both genders. It has nothing to do with *your* gender. You'd be straight because you're a girl who likes guys. No HRT necessary to be yourself

But then again, labels aren't necessary. I say straight in this context, because it's easier but my genders complicated so the labels are, too. I like guys,  no need to add to label it!

so i'm straight. haha! FINALLY AN ANSWER! cant tell you how much trouble i've caused my poor brain over this debate xD wait, i'm attracted to trans women to though o.o

Tl;dr: Probably very straight, slightly confused, but not caring about being confused, for now.

HRT did it for me.   I had been with women, but never worked out.  Never really paid attention to men until after HRT.  Now I can spot a hunk a mile away, and some men smell amazing. 

still nobody who feels that hrt made her more attracted to girls?

i dont think its HRT. i think its that hidden feeling. maybe HRT just awakened those feelings. just a theory looking at my current standings and i'm as pre as you can get xD

HRT made me realize how much I like men.  If I'm at a bar I get hit on frequently by lesbian couples. I find that amusing.

i guess but you cant argue with psychological phenomenon lol. 

Well, even though i've been married to my wife for roughly 11 years, and we still have the same level of attraction for each other, we have both talked about this many times.

The conclusion? We're both 99% straight. As in literally only lesbian for each other....we just can't see ourselves with another female beyond each other. Plus, boys are just yummy!
