I feel dum but I have a question.

[APerson]

Are transgenders considered the gender they were born at birth, or considered the gender that they changed to?

What if you had a gay transgender character, would they be into what gender they were born as or would they be into the opposite gender they were born as?

It's a weird question, Ik. I wanted to know for any future OC's I may make.

I'm pretty sure transgenders identify as the gender they change into. And if they were also gay, they would most likely be attracted to the gender they turned into. Like a Male who's trans and gay, would be attracted to Female.

If anyone wants to correct me if im wrong go ahead

Most people who are transgender prefer to be referred to as their post-transition gender and it's pronouns, although I cannot say this is the case for everyone. With sexuality, gay is an umbrella term and can be a very wide variety of sexualities. For a clearer example, if a MTF woman identifies as a lesbian, they most likely have an attraction to those that go by she/her pronouns. I'm sorry if my response is a bit unclear, I will explain much more if it is needed.

I understand where you're coming from, but I'm not sure on this.
My best friend was straight as a female, no attraction to females whatsoever. He's male now (amazing parents he's got) and he still doesn't find females romantically or sexually attractive.
Like I know that this is just one person but I'm just sharing why I personally disagree with you.

If a male is trans woman and gay then she would be attracted to men. But fun fact most transgender woman are straight and attracted to females.

Hey. Thanks for asking the question so nicely! Don't worry it wasn't a weird question and a lot of people are confused by it. I have a trans friend and I've asked these questions too. So:

1.
They would be identified and talked to using pronouns related to the gender they changed to. If a girl changes to a boy, it's a he, if a boy changes to a girl, its a she. Some trans people accept a lot of people are confused by this and some are usually comfortable with you calling them a "they" or "them". It depends on the gender they changed to.

2.
It depends. Specifically gay? There is a few options that can branch into other options, so here;
A.
Gay could be, for example, from the POV of a boy who has changed into a girl:
-They like trans girls
-They like girls
This would not differ a lot if it were a trans boy. It would just change the word 'girl' in the options to 'boy'
B.
Bisexual
-They like trans boys and trans girls
-They like boys and girls
C.
Pansexual
-They like any gender


I'm not too sure for this question as I havn't asked it, but my guess is:

From the POV of a trans girl:
Gay:
-Likes girls
Bisexual:
-Likes boys and girls
Pansexual:
-Likes any gender

Like I said I don't know this question but this question is just a bit of a guess
I don't think I helped but hope i did
