Ok, the point of this poll is to see if there really is a trend for M2F or F2M. There are plenty of posts out there dealing with this topic, so lets see how the numbers roll. If this poll has been done already, sorry. 

BTW, the old stats I have is that M2F tend to be 50-50 about being gay/straight. F2M tend to be 75% gay and 25% straight. Gay or straight is dependent on what gender you identify as.

Well this is all relatively new to me, but I've heard that sometimes after taking T, your orientation can change, so I don't know if I'll be interested in women after I transition. I've heard that some guys do.

I honestly don't think your orientation changes. But like our true gender, we bury it as kids to fit in better. I'm willing to bet money that most transsexuals started off 'straight' in relation to their birth sex. Not everyone does this, and not everyone hid their true gender either.

In my case it was after I started to transition that I allowed myself to be attracted to men. Looking back there had been cases were I was before, but I never acknowledged the feeling. Now I realize that i'm bi, because I like both men and women. So I never changed my orientation, simply rediscovered it.

I've not started HRT yet (will start this September hopefully) but I realized that once I stopped holding myself back I found men attractive.  I still appreciate the beauty in women, but I don't find it attractive if that makes sense.  Anyway, that's my $0.02

I don't know.  I've never been attracted to women that I can remember.  Not that I don't think some women are attractive.  But I've never been interested in kissing one.

Bi ftm here. Unfortunately, I've got more experience with men than women though. I'm too shy around girls.

This is a hard one for me to answer but I put down bi.  I attract the wrong kind of men, so I'll probably give up on them completely, but I really like it when a woman is attracted to me, it makes my day.  But I'm not too sure I could live with a woman 24/7 for the rest of my life (tried and failed), so I suppose I am sexually attracted to both sexes but I'm staying celibate at the moment till I sort myself out. 

110% lesbian~  Never had any doubts about it, and my experience in real life lead me to believe I shouldn't doubt it either.

I'm a lesbian and I always have been. 

Though now, when I see a really cute guy I feel I have the freedom to appreciate the male form.

So far it's just cute guys, I haven't seen any hotties yet!

Bisexual here... I think. =P

I'm mostly intrested in other women, but sometimes I get attracted to a man. My standards are pretty high when it comes to men though.

Honestly though, I'm more than a little confused when it comes to my sexual preferences for various reasons. I wonder if HRT will change anything for me.

I should get a tatoo...."Just do me" ...

except I'm afraid nike would sue. I like men and women.

M2F - Straight

James Blunt is the sex.

I am a lesbo  I actually never even considered who I would be attracted to as it was never that big of an issue for me. Once I started dealing with the gender issues head on, I actually gave it some thought and the idea of myself with a guy repulsed me. The only problem now is that I can be very shy around people in person so I am not sure if I will ever find that "certain someone".

I could never see myself sexually with a girl 

So, I'm straight, from my point of view

It's funny, actually...even before I knew that I was TG, I liked boys, but I never pictured myself as gay. I've never used the word to describe my sexuality (I do prefer queer), and the one time I had to nod in agreement, it felt wrong. I come from a very 'straight' community. I met my first openly gay person (open as in, not closeted. Not overly open and proud and loud ^^) when I was 16. So of course, I'd gotten all that prejudice and everything.

But I remember, I never understood why there should be anything wrong with being of an alternative sexual persuasion, as our SE-teacher put it, and I would openly state so. But I'd never once 'admit' to being gay myself, because I wasn't. I just thought of boys sexually and had my girl friends for the emotional aspects. I've never had a boyfriend, nor girlfriend for that matter. There have been plenty opportunities with the girls, but I've never been insterested in that.

It's kind of...eh...and I'm going to be hated for saying this, but it's kind of annoying to have to fend off girls, when you don't have a ready excuse. I mean...they will wonder why, and when they know I'm not in a relationship, they'll jump to one of either two conclusions. A: he's gay. B: I'm ugly. *facepalm* And yes, the girls I know really are like that. So what do I say?

"Yeah, I'm just in a hard place emotionally right now, and I don't have the mental resources to take care of a girlfriend with all that stuff going on. But I would like if we could just stay friends, and I hope that I can count on you if I ever need someone to talk to, because I like talking to you."

No, mostly I just ignored them, pretended to not see their hints and let them get bored. I felt like the worst person on earth for doing that, though. Still do.

Anyway, what I'm getting at...I don't like people to see me as gay, because I don't see myself that way. I think this aspect of the whole deal will bother my parents, though ^^'
