About a year and a half ago, I went to a gay club with my best friends. The two girls wanted me with them to "keep the creepy straight guys away", they'd been harassed before. Anyway, at the club, there's a drag show. Never been to one, I hadn't thought about it before. My friends gave me ten $1s and told me to go to the stage for one of the acts. The woman on stage was gorgeous, but she also sported a pretty large banana hammock. I enjoyed the drag. Since then, I've been having a lot of dreams where I'm with a transgendered person. I consider myself straight, but I also feel curious about the experience with a transgendered person. I don't know what to make of it. I found this site and thought I could get some feedback from folks who have more experience with this sort of thing. Any assistance is appreciated.
Welcome to EC, RomComGuy! Transgender terminology is kind of confusing, but basically, transgender women are all women, and liking them means you're straight or bi. Kind of a captain obvious statement, but I just want to clarify. But drag queen doesn't equal transgender. Drag queens are performers. Some of them could be transgender women, but a lot of them are normal guys, just like you.
Haha, the one on stage had most of the surgeries, she was doing the drag show to get the last of her surgeries done. My friends wanted to meet her and we got to know each other a little. My main issue is I dream about the pre-op women (still wielding the sword). I can say that a man is handsome or charming or anything of that nature, but I'm not physically attracted to a man.
Hi RomComGuy, a lot of guys in your position are often confused by what it means if they like a trans person, and what impact it has on their sexuality. It seems to me like you are attracted to women. Despite the fact that you like pre/non op trans women, it is their gender you are attracted to. Trans women are women, and if you like a pre op trans woman, she is still a woman. Something to keep in mind though is that a lot of trans people do not like their genitals and have no desire to use them sexually.
Thank you for the input. I'm starting to feel a little more comfortable with this. I've just felt so awkward about it for a while and didn't know how to deal with it.
Thanks everyone for the welcoming, it really feels nice to try to express what's been bothering me for some time. I've kinda held myself back relationship-wise lately because of this. After confessing to some friends, I am beginning to feel more confident. This was a great stepping stone into that.
