Transsexuals can be any orientation but what orientation they are is confusing. Most ppl when talking about trans people simply say they are caperble of liking men woman both or neither which is true but then ppl go on to try and classify them.   Is a homosexual transsexual somone who like their own sex before the transition or somone who likes their own sex after it? Is a heterasexual transsexual somone who likes the oppisite sex before or after.  It is confusing Some say the first that its what they are prior to transition.  But if a man becomes a woman and then has sex with a man that would legally be seen as heterasexual. However if you say the reverse and its what counts as after transition then what about some men who transition to woman but carry on having relationships with gay men.  Its hard to know.  So here is an example of my question. A man who transitions to female and has sex with men.  She also like men when she was a man but would not have practiced as a homosexual Is she a) a homosexual transsexual b) a heterasexual transsexual c) a transexual who is attracted exclusively to men (take into consideration if you say this that you are saying both male to female and female to male trans people who like men are the same thing) d) a straight woman.  You decide [/quote] FAQ Keyword Search: Post Options Favorites Manager Notify me of new replies to this topic by email Notify me of new replies to this topic by private message Original Post Girlfriendable Posted at 11:56 am on Nov. 30, 2003 Okay this is only for open minded people.  In my time i have met a lot of transsexuals.  Now for those of you who do not know a transsexual is an actual person who transisions from male to female or female to male.  The first is more common.

Replies Girlfriendable Posted at 2:29 pm on Jan. 16, 2004 I have come to a conlusion about this now I have decided the term gay and straight are different from the term homosexual and heterasexul Homosexual applies to primary sex ie your genitalia. therefor you can be homosexual without being gay.  You may like men as a male but be a woman within in which case you are astraight woman but any pracitse of sex would be homosexual.  As for the official definitions they work as such. Homosexual Transsexual - pre op - is somone who is homosexual before tranisitioning, ie a straight woman in a mans body who likes men before transition Homosexual Transsexual - post op - someone who practices homosexual after the op ie a male who crosses over and takes up with woman. Girlfriendable Posted at 5:05 am on Dec. 6, 2003 Okay...just to clarify something, a transsexual is specifically somone who has had a sex change.  They are not to be muddleed with other types of trans people. See below for details. A transvestite - are almost always exclusively straight males who dress in womans clothing usually for sexual kicks.  Personally i see nothing wrong with this. A transgendered person - is someone who lives in the role and under the legal legislation of the opposite sex and sometimes want to alter some aspects of their body to become more aquanted with that role they preserve their genitalia do not muddle with transvestite. A drag queen/king.  Is a person who purely for performance reasons dresses up usually for some stage act not to be muddled with TS.  These ppl are not meerly dames.  These people are usually homosexual. A shemale is a male who alters some aspects of their body to become more female while preserving their original genitalia.  Physically they are sometimes indistingushable from m to f transgendered the big differences being a) they may not live in this role full time and b) a shemale does things for PURELY SEXUAL REASONS. Usually with butch gay or bi men or sometimes with straight or bi woman.  Lesbians rarely are involved with them. Theres a general guid and a transexual should not be seen as any of them though some trannsexuals have been known to mistake themselves for transvestites or transgendered people at first and likewise the other way around EiRaMGrL Posted at 9:32 am on Dec. 1, 2003 who cares? why do we need labels? everyone should just be what they wanna be. bababooeey Posted at 9:28 am on Dec. 1, 2003 Maybe if they were just doing it for fun or at clubs. Not living as the opposite gender as a lifestyle? Girlfriendable Posted at 9:26 am on Dec. 1, 2003 Yes Silversickness but what do you mean by homosexual do you mean that when they are transexuals liking men they are gay or do you mean that after transition they like woman.  My question is what would define somone as heterasexual if they were transexual? silversickness Posted at 2:28 pm on Nov. 30, 2003 from my time spent at "tuperwear" parts most seem to be homosexual. i dont think i've ever met a heretosexual transgender.
