It was always easy to relate to being attracted to (another)female(Cis or Trans). You might even say that was and still is my default mode,. But I had a hard time understanding, Gay; Two guys being attracted, physically and romantically to each other, pre transition that registered as a big ZERO, flat line, goose eggs, with me. However in the past few years, as a trans woman, that has seriously been around flipped around,,. Its also worth mentioning that being called every negative Gay slur there ever was as a kid, helped provide me with tons of empathy for those who are Gay. And today, the struggles we face in the Trans community for acceptance is exactly the same as what faced the gay community 40-50 years ago,,.
