This is such an interesting area for me and it's been quite a journey. For the years I told myself I was a straight male, I was that (although the times I felt sexually attracted to other men; I explained it away) Since I reached the acceptance of being Transgender - of being a woman - other barriers fell and the floodgates of my attraction to men opened. My attraction to women is there, romantic and idealised- appreciation of female beauty. My attraction to certain types of men is visceral and intense and primarily sexual. There is definitely something I need from a man that I will never get from a woman. Being physically attracted to male frineds now can be awkward - sometimes I'm sure they sense it...
