Alright, here's a little background information that kinda plays into this for me: I'm transgender, and came to this realization after being on a forum for trans men when I was ~13 or 14. I finally came out last year, and have been transitioning since, which has made me feel a lot better about myself and more confident with my sexuality. The thing about that though is that I began dating people fairly young, and have identified as bisexual since around the sixth grade. I gradually, in the years leading up to transition, thought that I only liked girls, and would only pursue them- then, I began dating non binary people in the beginning stages of transition, and finally ended up being comfortable expressing an attraction to men. Except it didn't stop there- slowly, especially as I got further and further into medical and social transition, I've found that I don't really want to BE WITH anyone other than guys. I'm still sometimes attracted to non binary people, but mostly I just wanna be with a man. Am I just experiencing a shift in preference and still bisexual or is it possible that maybe, now that I'm able to live as a man, I'm comfortable with being attracted to men because I know they'll treat me how I want them to? Because I'm wondering if it was possible that before I only really wanted to date girls because I was allowed to be the "man" in the relationship, but now that I'm literally openly "the man" all the time I've realized that I'm actually into men since I can date them in a way I want to? Please help, this is pretty stressful :eusa_doh:
I think that makes sense. You should name your sexuality according to what you feel now- it doesn't require carefully analyzing your past. If you still like girls now, you're probably bi. If you don't, you're probably gay.
