Questions for transexuals that have had the sex change operation?

Question

**** First off - I know asked this question in the morning, I am repeating it now because this is a different crowd I and I did not get much of a response. My apologies to those of you who read this twice.***

I was curious what kind of people you partnered up with after you got your operations. Do you partner up with gay people or straight people?

For example would a male that becomes a female partner up with a gay top or a straight man?

Does a woman that becomes a man partner with a lesbian, a bi woman or a straight woman?

Just curious.

Thank you in advance

Answer 1

As a transsexual lesbian, I think I'm qualified to answer this one. Sexual orientation and gender identity are two different things.
For someone that becomes a man they identify as a man. If they're attracted to men, then they are gay men and get into those kinds of relationships. If they're attracted to women, then they get into straight relationships.
If someone becomes a woman they consider themselves to be women. If they're attracted to men, then they get into straight relationships with themselves as the woman and their partner is male. If they're attracted to women, then they get into lesbian relationships.
Transsexuals can have any of the sexual orientations found in other people. They can be straight, bisexual, gay, or pansexual. I hope this helps.

Answer 2

It's funny you should ask this. I was just having this discussion with a friend of mine who is planning a sex change. She is a lesbian, but oddly enough she wants to be a gay man.
