    Is the person FTM or MTF? It's totally possible for you to still be gay if you fall in love with a transgendered person. Sexuality and gender are different.

    There are straight/bi-sexual/gay transgendered individuals. If a person is FTM and attracted to males, he is gay. If a person is MTF and is attracted to females, she is gay.

    Well, trangendered people are just really the same as everyone else in that they just want to be accepted & loved for who they are. My advice is to just focus on how you feel & how the person you have fallen for feels, since it feelings & emotions that are the most important part of any relationship. As for whether you are gay or straight or bi-sexual because you have fallen for this person, I say screw it & forget the labels. Love is love, why go thru all of the stress of trying to put a name on it - it's love! Just be happy! I will agree with what midwestgirl89 has said above tho. I know, for me, I'm transgender MTF, & I want to be seen as just being female. And since Im only attracted to other females, I'm a lesbian & I want to be treated as such, so the stress for me in any past relationship is having to conform to a gender role & a sexuality that isnt what I'm comfortable with at all. So for me, I want a girl, whether she's trans or cisgendered female, to treat me like I'm a girl, emotionally, spiritually and physically. If you have fallen for a trans person, just see them & treat them & respect them for who they are & who they identify as!

    why put a label on it?

    Love is love you don't need to justify it to anyone. You're not hurting anyone or doing anything wrong. You're two concenting adults. Period.

    I see you ID as a lesbian.

    If you're a woman and they're MTF, you'd be in a lesbian relationship. If you're a woman and they're FTM, you'd be in a straight relationship. MTFs were born with male parts but are female; FTMs were born with female parts but are male. It's pretty queer any way you slice it, but eh. =P
