If I'm a guy who wants to be a girl and I have a crush on a girl that wants to be a guy, does that mean I'm hetrosexual?

Ha, ha . . . good question. I think it means you're cool, open-minded and probably as confused as the rest of us. Whatever it is . . . enjoy! :D

I've actually always wondered what transpeople would have to call themselves as far as gay/straight is concerned. I think it all boils down to whatever you want to call yourself. If you're into men (even if they're trapped in a woman's body) and you yourself are female (on the inside, at least) than that would qualify as hetrosexualty in my book.

Well, I used to think I was only into genetic men, but I've come to realize that mainly I'm attracted to a male presentation, with the genitals being negotiable. I guess this makes me "androphilic", while those that are attracted to a female presentation are "gynophilic". That being said, it is mainly what that person is inside that makes or breaks said attraction. Confused? Take a seat, the nurse will call your number. :p

So you probably have time to grab a sandwich before you get called. :tongueout

Yeah, I'd say so. Here's the Wikipedia definition of a "gynephile" (or "gynophile") and "androphile" . . .


Gynephilia (or gynophilia) (From Greek gunē, "women," + -philia, "love") is the romantic and/or sexual attraction to adult females, and its counterpart androphilia (from Greek andro-, "male," + -philia, "love") is attraction to adult males. There are two main reasons why these terms have been used: to describe either the age or the sex/gender of the object of an individual's sexual orientation.

The terms gynephilia and androphilia are occasionally (but increasingly) used when referring to the sexual orientation of transgender and intersex people, since the terms homosexual (same-sex) and heterosexual (different-sex) can be unclear. In describing an individual's sexual orientation as homosexual or heterosexual, we are not only saying something about the sex/gender of their object choice, but also something about their own sex/gender — specifically, that their sex and/or gender is the same as, or different from, that of those they desire. Difficulties in making these judgements can be seen, for example, in debates about whether female-attracted transmen are a part of the lesbian community. Androphilia and gynephilia are often preferred, because rather than focusing on the sex or gender of the subject, they only describe that of the object of their attraction.

The third common term that describes sexual orientation, bisexuality, makes no claim about the subject's sex or gender identity.

And guess what, K . . . drank rum last night and I'm still not hungover today. :devil: Don't sweat it, we're all entitled to an off day sometimes (I've been known to have off weeks). Anyway, I hope the info is helpful to some here.

Androphilic? Gynophilic? Gosh, I had a couple of each once (I think). Although any more, I'm not sure which one was which. Oh well, I claim:"Blonde".:heehee:

I agree with several replies here the label shouldn't matter cos it's about two ppl who love each other. I would be lying though if I said I haven't thought about how it relates to myself and Yachica and how it would redefine our relationship. But now I don't cos we are who we are two ppl who :love: each other and really labels don't matter xx Felix :hugs:

Yeah don't see why not. I also agree that it doesn't matter too much. Of course, you could just convert to the true religion of bisexuality and then it doesn't matter. (totally joking, of course)
Hehe "You are getting sleepy. You are checking out men and women. You wish to sleep with all of them."
