Does he/she like men, or still like women? Or would he/she be considered a lesbian? No hate, just curious and confused

It just shows a general lack of respect for transgender people to misuse their preferred gender pronoun when you know what their preferred pronoun is. Obviously Moira won't get upset, she's fictional, we get it; but just because there's no victim doesn't mean you're not reinforcing negative attitudes toward transgender people. This stuff makes its way back into the real world pretty easily.
And it seems like the only thing you're educating us on is your ignorance and disrespect. Please, continue. -

I'm on your side as far as respecting all people, and I never intentionally misuse a pronoun. That being said, the reply to the op came off as condescending, IMO, and if you REALLY want transgendered people to be respected, whether you have a horse in the race or not, taking it upon yourself to PROACTIVELY educate people on an individual basis just pisses people off. (The OP only asked about Mora's sexuality. Not what she should be called should the OP ever happen to speak to her).

Jill Soloway created the pilot Transparent for Amazon.com, which became available for streaming and download on February 6, 2014, and was part of Amazon's second pilot season. She was inspired by her father, who came out as transgender.

Maura (Mort) identifies as a woman, but still has the sexual drives, desires, and responses of a "normal"/heterosexual man.
She is not "gay", or a "lesbian". She never identifies as such - which causes some friction with peopel who expect that a transwoman will want to remove her male parts and assume a female sexual role.
She is a heterosexual transwoman.
She has a female gender identitity, which includes how she wants to live her life and express emotions (although she sometimes has some rough times with that), but a male sexual identity (in her case, since she was born a male, and has male equipment, this means she remains a heterosexual).
These are things that make her character interesting, and multi-dimensional. I'm very glad that the producers/creative team didn't make her the type of transwoman that is often stereotyped in the media - all surgeries, and implants, and all about the lurid sexual aspects, rather than the gender identity aspects that we see in Maura. -

assuming you are MALE regardless of the clothes you wear or gender you "identify" with ,i don't want to hear that- genetics are genetics a dude will smell like a dude ALWAYS ,vice versa.
So i would venture to say mort is is gay or at least Bi. -

.
People: We are never told what Maura's actual sexual preferences are. In his adolescence "Mort" obviously had to go out with, and marry, a woman, in order to fit in. In early episodes she dated women. And in S3 she got off with a man. So maybe she herself doesn't even know fully.
