Where did u get it from ?The difference between sexual orientation and gender identity.
Before you can develop an informed opinion on the proper sexual orientation of someone attracted to transsexuals, it's helpful to comprehend the difference between sexual orientation and gender identity. Succinctly stated:
“Sexual orientation refers to who you want to go to bed with, gender identity refers to what you want to go to bed as.”
Make sense?
A person's sexual orientation is defined as their ideal choice for a sexual partner (either men or women). Nobody knows why some people are most attracted to members of the opposite sex or the same sex. Some scientists feel we're all born with the potential for bisexuality. Others tout biological factors: including a specific inherited gene or the effect of hormones in the mother's womb on the fetus. Alas, we’re all finally coming to realize it’s something in-born: duh!
Regardless of belief, its safe to say transsexualism adds a new dimension to an already complex argument. In this variation, you add a feminine presentation, persona & gender identity - to a male platform. Regardless if this person's a girl on a full-time basis or just a weekender - she believes, she feels, she acts, and she looks just like a woman! In fact, anatomical differences aside: she's often more feminine than some born-women.
In other words: her gender identity is female. Just because she feels compelled to alter her presentation doesn't mean she also adjusts her sexual orientation. In fact, most transsexual women are never attracted to men. A smaller percentage are only drawn to men when they're in a female persona: never otherwise. Of course, there's a final group that only seeks male sexual partners.
Thus, if a straight male is attracted to genetic females & now finds himself drawn to a transsexual women...does this mean his sexual orientation is changing?
I don't think so.
