Even though i will hav the occasional man crush i consider myself straight. Usually the crushes are on feminine guys such as adam lambert or the typical emo guy. i would never want to date a guy i just am comfortable enough in my sexuality to be like "that guy is kinda cute" i love the female body and the mind of a female and find them better dating material, which is just my opinion. before coming out as transgender when i identified as female i did date men and it absolutely was not for me. which in turn i became a lesbian and dated girls....then figured out the whole trans thing and havent dated a guy since. but just wondering what everybody elses sexual orientation/preference is and if it was different pre transition or if it stayed the same.

I always dated men, and married a man, even though I didn't ID as F (didn't know that trans was my issue then).

Came out as trans, still liked men, but went through periods of thinking women and boobs were hot, tried dating a few, but didn't do much for me.  Last several months seriously thinking about things, trying on dating roles in an online role-playing game, and coming to the conclusion that yeah, I like men, I mean I love men, so yeah, I guess that makes me gay.

I like to think of myself as "non-discriminatory". ^_^

At this point i'm not even really considering relationships until i get myself "straightened out" (so to speak.) I guess my "orientation" will establish itself once i'm more comfortable with myself, my looks, and where i am in my transition.

((though i admit to admiring the male body and all that comes with it more than what any straight guy would consider appropriate lmao))

I like women, yes, always have. When I was 12 and started to question if I was a lesbian or not, I realized that I wasn't exactly a lesbian if I wanted to be a man and wanted to be with a woman as a man. And I've always tried to look at it that way. As a 'woman', I just couldn't see myself with dudes and I had a hard time seeing myself with women and being comfortable with my body. Although sometimes I wish I could just be a lesbian, I'm just not a woman. But since I've always looked at it from a perspective of me being a man, I think I had an easier time coming to terms with my sexuality, even if I had no clue there were other people like me out there.

I like women, that's all there is to it. It feels right and I'm content with that.

I like women and always have. When I was about 15 and starting to realize that I liked girls I said I was gay (lesbian, but never liked or identified with that word) but that was before I ever realized that I was trans. But I am a straight man and pretty much always have been. Have never dated a guy and do not have any interest in men intimately or sexually.

I'm bisexual, but I've always been predominantly straight. When I was a girl, I mostly liked only guys, and only dated them. When I started coming out as trans, my attractions started shifting: I haven't had a significant crush on a guy since coming out, and I've only been with girls.

Always dated women.

I anticipate/fear myself getting more gay with transition. But my history of sexual preferences is fairly bisexual.

                  Label
Under 14:   Straight Female
14-16:       Bisexual Female
17-18        Gay Female
19-21        Straight Male
22+           Bisexual Male

I consider myself to be pansexual but with a preference for guys, personally. But it just always felt too wrong to think about being with a guy as a girl. So I dated girls to avoid being seen as straight. Since coming out as trans though, I'm more comfortable being the gay guy that I've always been. And my boyfriend definitely helps with that.

Started out with my first crush in Jr. High on a girl. This blew my mind because I was a Christian and thought people chose their orientation at that time of my limited life. I avoided analyzing that crush despite the fact that it consumed my thoughts. I was "involved" with older men for a few years before I was ever with a woman in my teen years. Been in a relationship or two with guys but I've always been attracted to women. My first relationship with a woman wasn't until I was about 24. I haven't been in a relationship with a guy since then. I thought the only option for my identity was that I was gay, I have NEVER been comfortable identifying as a lesbian. Being called or identifying as a lesbian felt gay to me.
Just recently realizing I'm trans has been somewhat of a weight off my shoulders because I identify for the first time. I consider myself a straight guy, but I have been known to be attracted to a few gay guys. I'm in an amazing relationship with a woman who is the best thing that's ever happened to me. She's more understanding of the FTM business than I am, she's truly a blessing.

I'm just queer. Never thought that ideas like "straight," "gay" and "bi" made much sense - I like who I happen to like at the moment, and their gender is whatever their gender happens to be. I don't bother investing in a sexual orientation identity beyond that.

I'm pansexual.  I don't really have a preference for any gender.  I used to though.  Copying Nick Aiden:

Under 14:  Straight (bi-curious) Female
14:  Bisexual Female
15:  Lesbian Female then Bisexual Male
16-17:  Bisexual (gay-leaning) Male
18:  Straight Female*
19+:  Bisexual/Pansexual Male

*I converted to another religion and was taught that being GLBT was a choice.  Although I had friends and was "accepted", I wasn't really happy living as a female.

Hmm. . . well, I'm not really sure what's going on with me. I seemed quite straight until this year. Had crushes on males, now I don't. More attracted to women, it's their bodies. Male bodies don't really do it for me. I'm attracted to femininity, what can I say? Feminine males are alright.

(Of course, not all women.) The girls around me all seem to be rather airheaded (moreso than me) and the males. . . well, they're either obnoxious or I see them more as "buddies." Still with a male though, it's an anomaly that's what it is. He's feminine and rather intelligent I think.

Pansexual. (My attraction doesn't rely on genetalia nor gender identity. I'm attracted to intelligent, rational, yet playful people, who at least try and take some care of their bodies.)
Always considered myself such, just didn't always have the word for it.

I do find certain "looks" aesthetically pleasing, but they aren't specifically gender/sex bound either.

I think everyone is at least a bit bi-sexual.
I could be with anyone, as long as I love them. That is their personality, intelligence.

I've always been attracted to guys.  Before transition I entertained the idea that if I were living as a guy I might date women.  I did have a brief crush on a woman once, but it didn't last long and it wasn't really sexual in nature.  I think it was more of an intense admiration.  (It's funny, I can't even remember her name anymore. That's unusual for me.) 

Now that I have transitioned, if anything I'm even more attracted to men.  And more manly men, at that.  I won't say never, but I think it's unlikely that I will ever date a woman.

(new member, hello)

I've always been attracted to men exclusively. I identified as bi for a few brief years in early adulthood because it gave me an excuse to consider myself queer while having a female body and dating men, but I eventually discovered that if you tell people you're bi they're going to expect you to be attracted to women. And I'm just not.

It was weird growing up because I would notice two completely different types of guys. It took me a really long time to sort it out and realize that I was only actually attracted to one type, and was only looking at the other type (the ones that looked disturbingly like they could be my twin brothers) because they looked the way I thought I should. I barely noticed girls existing at all, as long as they left me alone.

From puberty I started to realise that I was attracted to women and assumed I was a lesbian.
I identified as gay (I didn't like the lesbian label. Far to feminine. Haha) for a couple of years before learning about transitioning.
I now identify as straight.

I started feeling like a gay man from about 16 but only inside.   I was always attracted to men more than women but had a few crushes on females.  When I became sexually active, I found that I hated being with a man as a woman.  I then thought that meant I was lesbian but that label only lasted until I slept with a woman and it did nothing for me.  I am very attracted to men and the male genitalia.  From about may last year I decided that I would like to live as a gay man, because being a straight woman is upsetting for me. 

So I'm a gay guy.  As much as I hate labels, that label works very well for me. 

I identify as a straight male. I'm just not attracted in any way to males. Tried it once, really didn't like it. Earlier on in life, I refused the label 'lesbian' because I felt it didn't fit me. For good reason.
