To clarify: This question is for Transgendered people who live as females (doesn't have to have had genital surgery), and see themselves as female who are in a relationship with men.
1) Do you see yourself as a straight female?
2) And how do you see your man? Do you see him as a gay man involved with a man who lives as a woman..making this a Gay relationship? Or do you see him as a straight man involved with a woman who happened to have naturally been born first a male...making it a straight relationship?
If you and people in general see yourself as a gay man who lives as a woman, and see your lover as a gay man, then that means all Transgenders and their relationships are Gay relationships. But somehow I think it is not the same as a real "Gay" relationship were both people feel as men who love masculinity.
I ask because 99% of people believe that genitals define your sexuality. I'm not sure of that. This question is to test that theory.
What do you think?

Melissa S - Great answer. My question for you is, so then to you, all men attracted to women like you are Bisexual? This means these relationships aren't really heterosexual relationships.

unclefrunk - This is what makes sense to me. Because if the man she's with is not considered to be straight, then that means she logically shouldn't be considered straight either since she's really born a male. Meaning this is just a homosexual relationship.

Great question! To start, I am a pre-op transsexual mtf. In my sexuality, I am a straight female. I have always felt that way. Even before my transition, my erotic fantasies would be of me being a woman and being with a man. I never thought about me being a man and being with another man, and I was never attracted to women. My current boyfriend is bi and that is how I perceive him. I give him everything he wants, lol. Most of my boyfriends in the past perceived themselves as straight, but I always believed they were bi. Hope this helps you.

I'm not a transgender but surely, if you know yourself as a woman, then the man that you are with must be straight?
