Yes. Have you ever seen the movie called NORMAL with Jessica Lange, Tom Wilkinson, and Hayden Panettiere? It's basically this same story line--though the husband did not change his gender "magically". Roy and Irma were a devoted couple who had been happily married for 25 years. But one day, Roy confesses to Irma that he's a woman trapped in a man's body and that he wants a sex change. Irma stays with her husband--who is now Ruth--because she still LOVES him. It's a very touching movie.

Have trouble with this question because it minimizes the actual gender changes some folks go through...both straight and gay. There's nothing magical about that.
My former lover still loves me for me, but our intimate physical relationship is over because she wants to be with women. That's her choice and I respect her for that.
I do know, however, there is a growing culture of "Superdykes" who find themselves attracted to trans-guys.
Usually it's the person inside that you love.

Yes, indeed, I would still love him, he would still be the same person I fell in love with inside, which is most important, but, the sexual aspect of the partnership would have to change. I have no intentions of switching teams so we would have to come to some agreement with that. It is an interesting concept though.

Put it this way.
If you were trying to build a house (dare I use the word "erection"?) and you started to put all the bits together using Nuts AND Bolts....then magically, all the Nuts turned into Bolts (or vice-versa), would the house still stand up properly?

For what it's worth, my wife never stopped loving me when I transitioned from socially and physically male to female. Sexual attraction was more difficult for her to deal with, especially when I was in the in-between stages, but she did eventually adjust there as well.

As an individual, I do; but as far as the partner thing goes, it's out of the question. Smile.

Love is love, sex is sex. The two can go together, but are not mutually inclusive.
I doubt my love for them would change.

Of course. Love isn't about your partner's sex, it's about a connection you have with that person.

Yup, but we probably will stop having sex. But that would mean cheating....Ah! That's so complicated. I think I'll still love him (Or her when he changes) but we'll have to leave each other. Because he'll become a straight woman!
Straight woman+ gay man = .............. (Nothing! They won't click!)

Sure. But our life together as a couple would be over just as magically quickly.
