Hello C= ..
My name is Alice.. And I am a little bit confused about my sexual preferences. Before the transition I was totally sure about my sexual preferences.. GIRLS, but all my relationships were more like "romantic" No sex at all, so I thought I would be a lesbian transexual.
But now it's another history... I'm being attracted to boys, but not in a "romantic" sense like it was with the girls, i'm attracted to boys more in a "sexual" sense. I like girls also. But just in that "romantic" sense.
I just thought It was strange.. since is well known that hormones do not change sexual orientation.

Hormones as far as I know don't alter your sexual preference. What can happen is the social restriction are no longer with you so you are open to exploring your sexuality. While I was never sexually active, I was pretty well expected to be attracted to women and men were not approved of. As a pansexual, I don't have much of a sex drive but I think I would be comfortable having either gender in bed with me. I never expected that.
I suspect as time passes, you will decide on one gender over the other but bisexual is a possible outcome.

Well its kind of a relaxation into what you like.

First you probably liked girls energy, but as you can balance those parts within you and can accept male and female parts and feel no longer the need to go against male parts so much you can come to a more balanced view.

I'd say take the time you need, and try to enjoy what you feel...


hugs

that's about how it is with me, even though I haven't been sexual for a while I like both and fantasize about men sexually quite a lot , but women more mentally.

i wasnt able to understand my sexuality until i was able to conceptualize myself as a girl. i had confusing feelings wrt attraction to men as well as sex with women. a year and a half into transition and everything is starting to make a lot more sense to me

Yes.
Getting more comfortable with being female...
not needing to fight the own maleness any more, internally and externally...
and getting a bit settled...

   I prefer the company of woman and find relationships more fulfilling with them but when I do think about sex which is not very often I usually think of myself as woman with a man, however due to some bad experiences in the past I am afraid of most men.

I think HRT does have an affect in sexuality.  Yes, going through transition is an opportunity to reevaluate things.  But I hear many stories that people experience a shift in sexuality.  Including myself.  Sometimes, not enough to switch who we date, but sometimes it is.  The stories are just too consistent to be societal.  HRT affects us in so many ways, and it is know to have some affect on the brain, so it is not surprising that it would touch sexuality.
