(I've seen a thread about this before so for some of you this may be redundant.)But I am so fascinated that a considerable number (not all) of completely straight men decide to transition, start HRT, and then gradually or quickly become attracted to men as a woman.I've been thinking about this phenomenon for a while and have a few theories:1. They were attracted to men all along, and were repressing their romantic desires to fit the mold of the "normal" cis-het man.2. Societal expectations demand that a woman be with a man. They're going against norms to transition, but benefit most in a world that favors het women.3. It is simply easier to find romance as a woman who is desired by straight men--they're the horniest and most populous demographic of romantic partner.4. I've heard some transwomen say that they became attracted to men after starting estrogen. Does HRT reorient attraction? Or is it simply a placebo effect?I'm sure some of you have recognized this pattern of straight men becoming straight women. What do you guys think is the cause?
Lesbians are already a small category of the dating pool, let alone ones that would date a transwoman, so liking women post transition just doesn't make sense
1 is the closest I'd say, they accept they're women and then accept they're attracted to men
>>43133088I thought I was aromantic then decided to transition to fulfill my yuri fantasies. Now I like men more but I'm not gonna date until my sexuality stops changing.
>>431330881 and 4 are the most likely to explain why such thing happens.
>>431330883 is not true from what i hear. you can get faceless grindr guys to fuck you no strings attached (no host because they have a wife and 2 kids) but actually getting relationships is way harder
>>43133088the answer is option 1there's probably some vicarious living in there too
It's 1, can confirm
As meta-attracted repressing AGP. There is nothing really stopping you from being with a man as a man if you truly wanted to. If that was your thing, you'd at least masturbate it, watch gay porn, get a crush on your male friends, anything. But there is simply no appeal in it for us. We don't fit the mold of cishet man thanks to our desire anyway. I think AGP is about inversion of heterosexuality, you don't want to be a straight man, so you switch to his counterpart, which is a straight woman.
>>43133421I didn't remember the AGP component, sometimes I forget how many trannies have it.
>>43133088I was "straight" I trooned out. I acted extremely straight because truly I was bisexual, but I had more of a preference for women. I always had crushes on men throughout my life though, just not as frequently as women. Hrt did something to me that makes me like men more, infact I prefer men to women now. I don't pass or anything, and I've only been on HRT for 2 months, and I haven't socially transitioned, so I don't think there is any social aspect to my change in preference.
>>43133772Oh, it couldn't be more relevant for this topic. Why else would the straight men do it?
>>43133088ADDENDUM: 5. Straight men with autogynephilia, who become meta-attracted once they transition to female and have relationships with men.
>>43133421Do you feel romantically attracted to men?
>>43133125this seems like a rational conclusion, and I could see this being an additional factor that motivates transwomen to move towards men
