I never really thought of it that way before. But having been hit on before without revealing my true gender to the perpetrator, I gotta say it isn't all that different than when they know I'm a CD. They say the same things, give the same compliments. So the attention doesn't feel any different.
I actually once turned a straight guy on to CD/TS. He doesn't like men at all except when they look like women (very passable women). I think that should count as evidence that CD/TS admirers don't see us fundamentally as guys but rather that they see us as women with a rather unfortunate birth defect.
So in the end I don't feel any less feminine because alot of the guys turned on by me may still identify as straight and are attracted to my womanly characteristics.
