Just kind of wondering if your mind has become more flexible to the Idea of dating the gender you never have since being on HRT or even prior to starting HRT or are you just committed to the dating the gender you always have. Personally , I started dating both just out of high school. This question may have been asked in the past , but was  just curious  to statistically see it in a poll.

Prior to realizing I'm trans I was bisexual although I have been exclusive with Sweetie for a long time now. My same sex experimentation was early teens.

After about 3 months of HRT I began to find male behaviors intolerable. Now I'm exclusively fem-romantic. Sex with men doesn't squick me, but I'm not interested. Sex without at least some love has never been interesting to me. Basically, if the person's outlook and behavior is primarily feminine (not necessarily girly) I can develop an interest. Personal equipment isn't an issue either way.

It's all a moot point, I'm Sweetie's for as long as she'll have me.
April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

 My answer doesn't fit into the poll so I will respond her. I purprosly stade off the market, but had always consdidered dating woman if I was going to date despite signs my body was clearly giving off to guys which I wasn't aware of. After transiting to full time and even before going on HRT I knew that I was attracted to Guys and so I would date hem yet it as crossed my mind a few times that it would be interesting to date woman but frankly I just have no interest in that.

It's really good to have someone like that. I've been alone way too long and would love to have the closeness.

I was bi for as long as I could remember and it always confused me as to why most people were so hardwired into being attracted to only the opposite gender.  My attraction to other people has morphed into being an asexual romantic as I've got older, I have also developed a strong 'political' firewall against most males as a learned behaviour though even though somewhere deep inside myself I am still as gender blind as ever I was.

From a pre-HRT perspective, 98% exclusively attracted to women (including transwomen)
But HRT may alter that some, and I am open to it if it develops. After all, I know most of the attention I get (if any) will be from males.
That being said, I would love to find a transwoman roommate where we can support one another regardless of attraction factor.

Well I haven't been attracted to females for about two years males neither. But I saw an ad for perfume with a guy a couple days ago and well I do have admit he was very good looking. I mean I'm not on HRT yet but I'm open to whatever happens.

I grew up absolutely straight (attracted to boys) and the idea of a Lesbian encounter was just TOTALLY off the radar until more than a year after transition/SRS. It happened - alcohol was involved - and it really threw me for a loop!!!

It took me awhile to realize that I was more flexible than I thought but I am still far more attracted to men.

I'm exclusively into men now but I still love my wife. If she would come around and accept me I wouldnt mind being with her but I'm not forcing her.

Is it HRT? Or something else? Maybe it's something else.

I am still 100% percent attracted to men. However, I am noticing lately a growing disgust in guys in general. Forgive me for saying this but most men are pigs. I am currently dating and I couldn't stand sometimes when I see men checking me or some women out when they are out with their girlfriend/s or wife.

Anyways, enough about ranting. However, the thought crossed my mind being in a lesbian relationship. However, I will not pursue it.

Love,

April

I have always only been interested in women.
While I am trying to be open to the possibility of feeling attracted to a man, it has yet to happen. Instead I am finding the idea of being with a man more and more disgusting on so many levels. Every man around me, regardless of whether I interact with them or only observe them, has several personality traits or physical features that put me off completely. There is never even remotely enough attraction to compensate for the shortcomings I see.

When the right one comes, I will be ready to change my mind.

Still pre-everything and attracted only to females. Dunno if it'll change if I start HRT though.
