I don't think it's a 'wrong' view to hold though.

edit to add: I don't think it's the same as stating a sexuality though is it? Like if I was attracted to a trans man/born female I would still consider myself gay. I think.

See i think differently and it’s probably unpopular on here but I believe that a man can never become a woman no matter how many ops and hormones they have.To me they’re still male so if i found myself have feelings for a trans woman i’d consider myself gay.

Yeah that is quite unpopular on here lol But no that actually makes sense in that case, I wouldn't have thought sexuality would come into it or it would make someone question their sexuality if that happened but I see what you're saying.

So...you're usually attracted to cis women and then find yourself having feelings for someone who identify as a woman and looks like a women but just so happens to be trans and despite not being attracted to cis males before or since, that makes you consider yourself to be gay? That doesn't make sense to me. Would you still consider yourself to be straight if you dated a trans man because they were assigned female at birth?

This is such rubbish...noone is 'assigned' anything at birth. Sex is noted. Assigned makes out that its just random Harry Potter sorting hat crap like 'oh lets put this one in with the boy group...no reason why, just we have decided this one is male' when its obviously not.

Edit. Yes, intersex people exist, before you say this. But intersex is not trans. And intersex groups/people have repeatedly asked to be left out of trans conversations.

Yep.Because to me they are still a woman.

I suppose it all comes down to your perception of trans people.My opinion is that it is impossible to fully transition.It can’t happen without some kind of distant future genetic engineering.
