I wonder the same thing, I knew this transwoman who was in the same psychology class with me and who had this super hot BF, I wonder if I could've had a shot at stealing him if he was attracted to guys but I never tried anything tho, I was busy sleepin with the professor ROFL
I take it you are gay. I'm a male-to-female and nearly all of these guys that I've heard of who pursue transsexuals claim they are "straight." A few did tell me they were bisexual, but attracted to fem gays: like those who spend a small part of their life in drag, but live out in society as males.
Something that is rarely brought up in these discussions is that a lot of them who say they are attracted to transsexuals actually have a sexual fantasy about being queens themselves. By that I mean they want to look like a highend call girl or a porn queen, not like the average woman you would see at Wal-Mart. I think that's why they always want transsexuals to be like Candis: exotically beautiful and more feminine than the average female so it makes it easier for them to live out their own fantasies through her. Then you start to understand why most transsexuals don't like them.

Yes I'm gay, I always wanted to be friends with a transwoman, because they're just so fabulous. You raised some interesting points, I think a poster on this thread said something similar, that guys who are into transwoman, end up being transwomen themselves too.

I guess to be really attracted to Candis her husband has to be at least (by definition) bi-sexual. But not all gay men are attracted to masculine men, obviously.
Some gal said once, "Transsexual women are not real women. To be a woman you first have to be a little girl. Transsexual women were little boys."
That seems to be true. -

I think it all depends on what about Candis he's attracted to. If it's purely her looks and personality, not gay. If it's the fact that she is a transsexual, he's gay.
Put it like this. If I met a hot woman at a bar, took her home and slept with her, I'm not gay if it later turns out she was born a man. I simply thought I was sleeping with a woman. If I intentionally seek out a transsexual, then I guess that would make me gay, or at least bi. -

Apparently Candis met her husband (I'm not sure they were ever actually married, and they're officially split now) while she was appearing in an LA gay club and he was emceeing there.

I can't decide if I am amused or offended by the comments on this topic.
- If someone has the mind/biological appearance of a woman, then their male partner is straight. To suggest that they are not, simply makes it more difficult for transwomen to be honest with people.
- If their partner is female, then that partner is a lesbian.
- These things are acknowledged in law in the UK.
- If a transgender woman has had genital surgery and follow up therapy, then nobody would be able to tell that they were not born that way. There may also be sexual benefits (so, so much for a biologically born female always being the sexually preferred choice)
- Depending on the extent of surgery, and other therapies and treatment it can be relatively easy or completely impossible to know if a woman was born with a female body or transitioned.
- Not all transwomen are actresses, barmaids, singers etc. The majority are just the woman who works in the travel agents, or the Mum dropping her son at school, or the woman whose body you admire in the gym.
There ARE some people who are attracted to someone specifically because they are pre-op transsexual, or only partly through their transition. If this is their specific taste (regardless of the persons personality) then they will inevitably not be interested when their parb68tner is fully female. Along with 'passing' and social acceptance, this issue, can have consequences for the psychology, choices and actions of trans women.
How these 'partners' wish to identify themselves is personal choice I suppose.

I know this thread ended long ago, but it was said that gay men aren't attracted to the female form. There is the rare occasion when a gay man who is a drag performer will be in a relationship with another drag performer and the two men in women's attire will have sex. It is the exception; not the rule.
These days it's commonplace for men to have earrings or wear eyeliner. Male pop stars such as Justin Bieber and Harry Styles reportedly wear women's jeans. Adam Levine has a men's clothing line that looks very similar to women's jeans.
When people ask if someone is gay, they want to know what the politically correct term would be so as to not offend anyone. If we don't ask questions how are we supposed to learn? -

Some of the gay, female impersonators from years back, like Craig Russell and Kim Christy, both got married to women and fathered children. It does happen. You are right, it may be rare and an exception, but it does happen.
Craig Russell has since passed, but Kim Christy is still alive and still married.
