Did Anyone Discover Their Sexual Preferences Only After Transition?

Kind of, before I truly came out to myself as trans I thought I was a gay male, but I really struggled with that internally because I was never really attracted to men. For some reason I felt it would be easier to come out as gay then to come out as trans. Well I finally realized that no, I’m not a gay male but a lesbian female.

This makes so much sense looking back when I was growing up and prayed to whoever would listen just to let me wake up as a girl. But I didn’t know what trans was so I buried it.

Through my transition, I do sometimes find that I’m turned on by the thought of PIV sex, but it’s really more of a fleeting feeling rather than a permanent one.

So I guess my transition has affirmed that I am attracted to women.
