So when an MTF says they're straight, does that mean like men, since they're a woman now? or women because they were a man before? Likewise, when FTM says they're straight, does that mean like women, since they're a man now? or men because they were a woman before?
When an MTF says they're straight that means they like men. I'm an FTM and I consider myself gay because I like men.
simple; if they are a mtf, that means they ARE a woman. They were never a man. Consider this and you'll figure out the sexual orientations with clarity.
Yes. *side rant* At my work there was a patient whose gender identity was written as male in the paperwork, but my boss insisted their gender was female since she just saw it as biologically speaking. I asked my patient if they wanted to identify as Male or Female, and they laughed and said "I'm a female!" I guess the paperwork had been filled out wrong but the nurse had already changed their gender to female and the medical personnel thought it was humorous, but I did not. I told her, "Ok, I just wanted to make sure I knew how you identified before drawing your blood." I was upset that the nurse had already changed it without confirming her identity. That could've been very embarrassing for the patient!
it gets really weird to me what governments and religious peeps would think is gay because of being trans. Do they think if i am not yet transitioned and fall for a woman I am gay? Would they want me to marry a man and have gay sex?? When they prohibit homosexual marriage in their state, or they say they would not marry gays in their church, it seems oxymoronic if they would cheer me to marry a male! Conversely, if I fully transition...does their opinion now flip?? If I marry a man is it now gay? If so, why was it not before? If not, why not, because I would not only still feel male inside I would be outside and in both cases only sexual activity would be male on male...how it would it be straight? This is my dilemma only because of the nature of our nation's definitions.
An FTM is a male person. Likewise, an MTF person is female. If you are an FTM, which means you're male and like other men, then yes, you are gay. Vice versa for when a MTF person likes women. Since they're female, they are considered gay/lesbian as well.
