I don't get that either - I'd say "attraction" is an umbrella term, with "sexual attraction" and "personality attraction" both beneath it. I don't think a preference for one of these attractions affects what someone's sexuality is.

We are different in how we are attracted to someone, there has to be more emotional processes there flowing... sometimes that is quick, sometimes not... men on the other hand, can be turned on simply by how someone walks or carries themselves, their specific physical assets, etc... not saying that doesn't happen with women either, but there has to be an emotional component I think for that to even be the case. I.e. they associate that movement with some other romantic drama in their head, etc... us women have a lot of fun fun pictures in our head, whereas men just love "eye candy"...

I once saw a youtube conversation between Blaire White and Theryn Meyer - both are male transwomen. Their conversation included how their attractions changed while they were on hormones, and they both said they value personalities more since they transitioned, and that they both can still get boners "as long as the candles are all lit."

What does that even mean?... I love Blaire.

Edit: Oh, kind of like "checks all my boxes"...
