    Am I Gay?

    I find myself extremely attracted to TS TV SM but I do not like the manly thing. Any opinions?

    if it's the womanliness of the body and the mind that attracts you then you aren't gay (assuming you're male). if you still like the male equipment, that doesn't make you gay necessarily. heck, you have one of your own, why shouldn't you be able to appreciate it's virtues, right?

    personally I am attracted to the female mind and the female body, and find it extremely difficult to see the male mind or body in amorous terms. but I appreciate both category of equipment equally. this makes me open to transsexual women as well as gg's, but crossdressers are simply not on the menu for me. maybe that doesn't make me 100% straight, but I don't think it makes me gay. although if it does, I could hardly care less.

    but really I tend to subscribe to the theory that everyone is bi, it's just a matter of degree's of how far they swing one way or the other. I think the more black and white notions of strictly gay or strictly straight are overly simplistic and fail to account for a great deal of well documented human behavior and emotions. for example, I think the alpha male or alpha female social dynamics don't make sense unless there is at least some small amount of latent homosexual desire on the part of the pack towards the alpha. it seems to me that rationally in a pack or tribal scenario, the non alphas would gang up and eviscerate the alphas in order to eliminate them as competitors for the favor of the opposite sex, and this would continue until the whole pack or tribe is decimated... were it not for varying degree's of latent homosexual desire towards that alpha. so when you think about it in those terms, homosexuality is what holds a society together.

    If you are Gay...you would know it.
    If you are questioning...then you are Questioning.
    It's a good place to be.

    in some ways its to easy to be attracted to t-girls. We know what we find attractive in women and we tend to go for that look, while many women today seem to do everything possible to not look sexy. ( sorry GG's I know this is an overgeneralization, but too many gals are wearing clothes that do nothing to make them look good.) So when we see a pretty T-girl, we see alot that we are attracted to in women. Does that make you gay? Most likely not. To be gay means to be completely attracted to the same sex.

    It doesn't make any difference what you call yourself---you like what you like and are attracted to what attracts you--don't be hung up on labels---as long as you are attracted to consenting adult human beings its ok

    physical attraction is, for most of us, somewhat based on physical appearance. shallow,yes,but human. if you are attracted to what appears to be a woman,then...

    And if you are attracted to something in between then you are attracted to something in between

    A friend of mine pointed out a study that suggested that being 100% straight or 100% gay was as common as being 100% asexual.. around 1% of the people in the study.. not very common at all.

    A different study quoted on the tv show The Catch Up recently said that 30% of Australian men had at least one gay sexual experience...

    So just be you, like whatever you like. Act in an ethical way (sane consenting adult humans only!) and you will do no wrong.

    Yeah, I think if you were gay you would know it by now. If you are curious, try it out. You will know soon enough. There is no harm or shame in questioning.

    That's an interesting point and begs another question. Has anyone "Tried it out" and decided that it was not really what you wanted?

    I have a habit of collecting CWD art but I don't find men attractive at all.
    I sometimes wonder if I'm fantasizing myself as a girl with both breasts and
    a male organ, able to be one of the girls and have male to female sex as well...

    I think we are all a little gay...having said that, I think it is natural to fantasize about tgirls. I do it all the time because they look hot. If you were gay you would fantasize about guys in the buff. Does any of that make sense?

    Tanya,

    I've "tried it out" and decided that it wasn't what I was looking for as my primary mode of satisfaction. The times when I hooked up with other males and at least one of us wasn't in dress just felt very awkward. Somewhere in my mindset there's probably something that still says "boy+girl good", "boy+boy bad" so once the trappiings are in place it all works well for me. I've noticed that I do pay MUCH more attention to men when I'm dressed too... perhaps it's because my whole personality changes when I'm in fem-mode. I'm not opposed to hooking with males, if the person and situation is right, but I like women too much to even consider giving them up.

    Gay? Straight? Bi? Whatever. I've enjoyed being who and what I am and haven't really even considered labelling myself.

    -Sasha

    It is a difficult thing to categorize. Just too many opyons. If you feel like a woman and want to be with a woman, does that make you gay and with a man - heterosexual? Is it the sex you present yourself as or the sex you genetically are. My wife says that when I dress she doesn;t want to have sex with me because she says that would make her gay. She wants to be with a man. The mind is a wonderous thing. It doesn't fit neatly into caregories. When I am Dawn, my on;y interest in girls is to check out their outfits and jewelry. Dawn is definitely a man's woman.

    Right on - I'm attracted to a pretty looking T-girl but I wouldn't label myself in any other way

    Angry Labels

    What you are attracted to does not make who you are. Labels just add more confusion to the whole situation. As long as it is consenting, what does it matter. I like both, men, and women. You may call me bi, but I prefer Steff.
    xoxoxo,

    I think you're outnumbered in that opinion. :-)

    Like most have said, I'm attracted to the female look not male. So I will not consider myself "Gay".
    I think maybe I would just like to have a little fun with a female that has, you know something extra? LOL ;-)

    Hi Tanya, I pondered about the same thing many years ago when I continued crossdressing in my college years and dating a few TS during the same period as a strictly male admirer. I was warned ... "once you hang out with us, you won't stop." Later, I developed the thought in my head that I am more attracted to ts/cd's than gg's. I had to seriously question this out of concern. I think both of us are wired hetero for sure due to the fact that we are primarily attracted to female, so physically we can accept being attracted to m-f ts/tv. Psychologically, as a trangendered individual, I find other transgendered's appealing in that we can relate and accept. This may also account for your attraction also. Historically to date, interpersonally, no offense, I have had more positive mutual interaction with transgendered's than with gg's. You have to also know that there are many men out there who are dedicated ts/tv admirers. I hope this opens a little bit of light on your concern.CheriTV2006.

    So I am outnumbered by small group of CDers, that's hardly substantial testimony. Let's be honest, it's a Fetish that's all it is...no harm in that, it makes the world go round.

    The popular speil claims most CDers are Str8....wrong again. It's kind of like the slogan, "Black Power", "I am woman here me roar" or "Girl Power" all of which are mantras to make you feel good. If you found youself in the middle of Bagdad today none of those slogans would save your ass.

    I have spent 12 years observing CDers at close hand and at first I believed all the rhetoric they dished out day and day out....HOGWASH!

    On my last outting I saw too many secretely hooking up to believe otherwise anymore. It's all a ruse!

    A bunch of lies all of it, all of you.
