So, one of my fiction story lines now features a male-to-female Trans-Woman, and I'd rather not fall victim to too many stereotypes, so instead of just portraying her as a gloryfied drag-queen, I'd be more interested in making a character that's actually credible and interesting. Right now, I'm not entirely sure about her sexual orientation and sadly I don't know enough trans-women personally to get any representative sample. Hence this poll.
I would love to meet such a lovely. It would be amazing exploration and adventure.
I'll act like I understood what you mean. But really, I don't.
There is a lady, who is post-op, at the club I work at who is a stripper. She is amazingly stunning, one would never think she used to be a man. We sometimes call her Rocky Curry as an inside joke.
As a transwoman myself, I know how confusing it can be. For the first dozen years of my life I was raised to be a woman-loving-man. But now I feel like a man-loving-woman. So now I feel attracted to both. Both for different reasons, none of which I can place above the others
Don't let them haters get you down. You are you. And YOU are beautiful!

My only experience has been with a friend who is a FTM transgendered man, so not sure how much help I'll be, but I'll try. L. met his future wife many years before he began the transgendering process, and they lived as a lesbian couple for over a decade prior to L. beginning the transgendering drug protocol. He has been living as a man for *thinking* five years now? As far as I know, he has only ever been attracted to women. As for his wife, prior to L. beginning the FTM process, she had only ever been attracted to women. Not sure that she is now attracted to men in general, but she has stayed with L. and is definitely attracted to L. as a man.
As a totally unrelated side note, the very sad statistic regarding marriages/LTR's where one half of the couple undergoes the transgendering process is that 97% of those relationships will end within five years (I think--too tired to dig up the link, sure on the percentage, not 100% on the time to dissolving the relationship thing). L. and his wife, J., have beaten those odds and are one of the closest and most loving couples I know.

it is not so simple, as a transsexual woman (MtoF Pre op)
before my transition i always identified myself as a woman, and as such always thought of myself as a lesbian.
i know many transsexuals are gay and as such prefer men. but many are like me and only like women.
