Please forgive my ignorance but If a guy is dating a trans* woman, what sexual orientation is he or in clearer terms would the act of guy and trans* woman have sex would be considered a heterosexual act, a homosexual act, or something else entirely?
People aren't defined by their partners. You can be dating a woman, and yet be bisexual. In clearer terms the guy dating the trans woman would be in a heterosexual relationship.
Most people that are into us are into cis women as well. So they're whatever you call guys that are into women. Some of them as Hexagon pointed out might be into men as well. Other side of the coin, if you're normally into guys but you find you are flexible for a woman, that's just the way it is, whether she's trans or not. Congrats on choosing being honest with yourself over being true to a label if that's the case The reward is being in love with someone that loves you back and having a fulfilling sexual relationship. Which is the same reward for coming out gay if you think about it.
A transwoman is a woman despite her parts so they would be in a heterosexual relationship. Just like if a guy dated a transman they'd be in a homosexual relationship, because a transman is a man despite his parts as well. Also it goes the other way, if a ciswoman dated a transman they'd be in a heterosexual relationship and if a ciswoman dated a transwoman they'd be in a homosexual relationship.
It might be easier to remove the trans when you see a situation like this. For example, if a trans man dates another trans man... remove the trans. A man dating a man. That sounds more simple, right?
That would be hetero. ---------- Post added 6th Apr 2014 at 05:43 PM ---------- I think I spelled that right.
This right here. Whatever is after trans is what they are/identify as, so take that off and you can figure it out from there. As An Gentleman put it, it'd be this as an example: Transman + Transman = Gay couple So with the OP: Man + Transwoman = Hetero couple
This again and again! I have been with a man before and he was straight as can be. I was just another girl, albeit with a backstory and a surgery down the road to recombobulate things downstairs. Unless someone we're dating is a chaser, they most likely just see us as who were are, normal women and men.
